Explore America's oldest city for Caribbean history, Spanish culture, and the American dream. Wander Old San Juan's alleys past centuries-old forts and colorful colonial buildings. Learn to move to salsa and reggae, shop boho streets or luxe boutiques for artisan goods, designer pieces, and hand-rolled cigars. Enjoy world-class surfing, a tropical rainforest, a private rum cocktail tasting, and empanadas. End on beautiful beaches with crystal-clear water and maybe one last rum cocktail.

Mingle amongst other discerning guests on this French isle that exudes relaxed glamour. Wander along secluded beaches, harbourside Creole huts, drop into bohemian bars and snorkel gently through warm turquoise waters. Visit La Tourmente, the peaceful salt ponds and admire uninterrupted views on a local boat trip. And as you sip your second (or third) glass of champagne to the lull of the gentle waves, it might be time to learn the French for "paradise found".

An adrenaline rush awaits. Swim with stingrays. Zip-line through lush forests. Walk across a gorge on a scenic suspension bridge. Sip excellent aged rums. Taste the island with a chef. Or stroll St. John's old town to tour cottages laden with cheerful fretwork. Explore British forts atop Shirley Heights and Goat Hill. Then rest and rejuvenate at one of the snow-white beaches.

Formed by volcanoes, St Kitts has rich, fertile soil and lush rainforest. Hike Mount Liamuiga to its mile-wide crater, or descend to smell the sulphur. Try a scenic train ride, sailing, cooking class, sky-safari zip-line, or batik workshop. Visit sugarcane plantations, the Narrows, and UNESCO Brimstone Hill Fortress for island views. Small in size, big on charm.

Enter a serene Bahamian paradise: an exclusive, eco-friendly island marine reserve and perhaps the world's most coveted escape. Snorkel, paddleboard, or boat over aquamarine waters; see marine life in its natural habitat; visit the marina, lighthouse, lagoon, and pastel buildings. Relax with a beachside massage, lazy lunch, rum cocktails, and powdery white sands shaded by palm leaves.

Miami and South Beach blend iconic movie backdrops with Latin American culture: Art Deco streets, Wynwood's murals, and Little Havana's café cortadito, sugarcane juice, beer, ice cream, dominoes, cigars, and politics. Add salsa, designer shopping, speedboats, and the Everglades for rare wildlife.
