The Bahamas
With a chain of 700 islands, the Bahamas offers everything you could wish for—from warm hospitality to exhilarating water sports and vibrant nightlife. It’s the ultimate winter getaway. While soaking up the sun on Bahamian beaches, don’t miss sipping on the local favorite, the Bahama Mama cocktail. A variety of hotels are available to accommodate all budgets.
Turks and Caicos Islands
This stunning country comprises 40 islands, though only 8 are inhabited. Divided into two groups, the Turks Islands (Salt Cay & Grand Turk) and the Caicos Islands (North Caicos, Providenciales, Middle Caicos, East Caicos, West Caicos & South Caicos), it’s a paradise waiting to be explored. The Grace Bay Club’s resort-within-a-resort concept is a top choice, but you’ll find many other fantastic spots to stay.
Punta Gorda, Belize
Situated in southern Belize, Punta Gorda boasts an appealing mix of 85-degree weather and secluded beaches. Originally a fishing village, it now draws tourists with a variety of activities such as lounging on the beach, catch-and-release fly fishing, visiting the waterfalls at Rio Blanco National Park, or enjoying solitude in the jungle. The Copal Tree Lodge, a luxury eco-resort, offers a unique stay where you can savor both local and your favorite dishes. No traveler should miss the opportunity to see Punta Gorda!
Whether you’re a beach lover, an adventurous soul, or simply trying to escape the winter chill, these destinations promise sun-drenched adventures and unforgettable memories.
