St. Lucia is lush and dramatic, with rainforest-covered mountains, volcanic springs and the twin Pitons rising from the sea. Honeymoons, anniversaries and long dinners with a view are what it does best.
Turks and Caicos is all about the water. On Providenciales, Grace Bay’s white sand slopes gently into water clear enough to watch your feet, and a short boat ride reaches reefs and sandbars. Days are simple: swim, snorkel, paddleboard and watch the sunset.
Choose one island for a focused escape, or pair them: rainforest first, then beach.
