The Caribbean… Pirates Not Included

LONDON, July 23, 2010 - The Caribbean boasts world class beaches, spectacular rainforests and a
relaxed vibe it has become famous for. Virgin Holidays recognise the allure
of these beautiful islands with a range of Caribbean hotels for every
traveller. Caribbean hotels (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/info/our_hotels/) range
from great value family resorts to the adults only and exclusive Sandals
hotels.

The islands of the Caribbean all offer a slightly different experience.
Antigua's colonial history can be felt in Nelson's Dockyard and the English
Harbour, which was once a base for the English Navy in the 18th Century.
Antigua hotels (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/antigu
a/hotels.aspx) provide guests with no less than an idyillic Caribbean
paradise with 365 quintessential beaches and a multitude of water sports.

St Lucia lures many romantic travellers with its impressive volcano
mountains rising from the sea, fringed with stunning beaches. St Lucia hotels
(www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/st_lu
cia/hotels.aspx) give guests the perfect base to explore the island and see
bottle nose dolphins and humpback whales just off shore or simply unwind with
a glass of local rum.

For those visitors to the Caribbean who enjoy vibrant nightlife Virgin
Holidays recommends the island of Barbados. Barbados hotels (
www.virginholidays.co.uk/brochures/caribbean/holidays/caribbean/barbad
os/hotels.aspx) in and around St Lawrence Gap have lively bars and nightclubs
along with some brilliant restaurants. The island is ideal for families and
couples with ample activities including surfing, diving and snorkelling.
