Go on holiday in the paradise that is the Caribbean

There are a few places in the world that are synonymous with fantastic holidays, and the Caribbean is definitely one of those places. Blessed with an abundance of glorious sunshine, pristine beaches and amazing scenery, you could do a lot worse for yourself than to spend a couple of weeks in this idyllic region.

One of the best things about holidaying in the Caribbean is the wonderful variety and diversity that is offered by the region. Situated to the southeast of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean consists of over 7000 islands, inlets and bays. Many of the islands in the Caribbean are among the top destinations in the world for enjoying a break, and it's no surprise that so many people make the trip down here every year. There are some excellent deals available at the moment on Caribbean holidays with tour operators like Thomson.co.uk and ThomasCook.co.uk.

One of the best places to visit in the Caribbean is the stunning Saint Lucia. The island is a fantastic demonstration of unspoilt beauty with rolling hills and white beaches set under the cloudless Caribbean blue sky. There are endless activities available on the island, and water sports are especially popular here. If they don't tickle your fancy why not enjoy a round of golf on one of the many fabulous golf courses that are located across Saint Lucia.
