    Caribbean Expressions’ luxury tailor-made holidays offers a wide range of holidays to Caribbean islands featuring the most luxurious and most characterful hotels and resorts in the region as well as some good value, yet exquisite retreats

    Our Caribbean is about relaxation, comfort and good service, idyllic surroundings coupled with the opportunity to glimpse the flavour and colour of local life. This is very much tailor-made luxurious and authentic Caribbean. Think Caribbean, and you can’t help but picture palm-fringed beaches and gin-clear seas, rum punch cocktails and steel drum bands. From the Bahamas to Bardados, Trinidad to Tortola, the Caribbean is studded with some of the most exclusive and indulgent private-island hotels and beach resorts on earth. For most visitors, that’s more than enough: getting away from the beach means going out for a snorkel or hopping out on a windsurfer. Who can blame them? Sifted by the steady, gentle Tradewinds, with excellent coral reefs and an abundance of marine life, the Caribbean is a watersports Promised Land. However, dig a little deeper, and the Caribbean is a fascinating, diverse travel destination in its own right, suffused in history, with each island boasting its own unique character and personality. From the forts of Jamaica and churches of Barbados to the sizzling carnivals of Cuba and Trinidad, the Caribbean resounds with echoes of its colonial past, with an architecture and attitude to match. Hire a car, and you’ll stumble across cricket games and church choirs, beach bars with spontaneous parties – a fabulous place just to fly and flop, the Caribbean is also wonderfully rewarding to explore. Geographically, the islands vary dramatically. As a general rule, the low-lying coral islands – the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, and the islands of the Venezuelan coast – have the best bone-white beaches and swimming, but are less interesting inland. Volcanic islands by contrast – for example, the Windward Islands such as St Lucia, St Vincent and Grenada – are more dramatic, covered in steep, tangled forest plunging dramatically into the sea, with classic crescent bays and palm-tree beaches, brilliant for birdwatching and hiking, mountain-biking and nature-trails.

    About Expressions Holidays
    Expressions Holidays is a specialist travel company, established in 1989, to provide tailor-made luxury holidays and authentic travel experiences to selected destinations worldwide.
    Most of our chosen hotels and resorts are luxury but in a number of ways, from being of outstanding quality and character to having world-class facilities, service and activities.
    We take the requirements and wishes of our clients and put together bespoke holidays and itineraries to suit their individual style and budget, utilising the favourable contract rates and negotiated offers with all our suppliers, from hotels to airlines, from local transport companies to local guides.
    Our hallmarks are our personal service and knowledgeable and helpful staff who look forward to providing with the holiday you want.
    We really urge you to speak to us by telephone – so much more direct and effective than email – and then one of our sales consultants can understand from the outset what you are looking for and provide the most accurate help as quickly as possible.

    Local highlights

    Sheltered sailing in the British Virgin Islands; hiking in St Lucia up the famous Piton mountains, as well as Jump Up parties every Friday; hundreds of flat, sandy islands in the Bahamas; exploring the parishes of Barbados; the forested slopes of Jamaica’s Blue Mountains, as well its vibrant reggae scene; carnival in Trinidad and Cuba; Havana’s salsa; French colonial architecture on St Barthelemy, St-Martin and Guadeloupe; private island resorts; cricket everywhere; mountain biking and white-water rafting on the Dominic Republic; assisting scientists with turtle conservation in the Cayman Islands.

    Getting out and about

    The most extensive links between islands are by air, with LIAT, BWIA and ALM all offering passes encouraging a degree of island-hopping on 6- to 30-seat planes giving breathtaking views of the islands. Island-hopping by sea is a limited option, although good links exist between dependencies, eg St Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago. As for travelling around individual islands, hotels often offer daytrips, otherwise buses are cheap but their scheduling is not always very extensive. Car-hire is usually your best option. The roads on most of the islands we feature are actually quite good, give or take the odd pothole. (Signposts are another matter, so we recommend an ordnance survey map if possible, although if you do get lost, just hopping out asking directions can be part of the fun). Car-hire is reasonably priced and a good, independent way to see a lot of the islands. Jeeps are also available for rougher road surfaces (some of the hills are quite steep). Taxis also represent good value, especially with local drivers keen to share their knowledge of their home.

    Travel arrangements

    Flight time to the Caribbean is about 8 or 9 hours, depending on which island you fly in to. Antigua is the closest international hub from the UK, and many flights to but there are direct scheduled flights to dozens of destinations throughout the Caribbean run by British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and British Midland.
