Anguilla
Only a couple of miles separates St. Martin from Anguilla. The small island of Anguilla is a British colony. Far less crowded than St. Martin, Anguilla’s authorities has regulated the expansion of tourism to create a very intimate and peaceful island encounter. Anguilla has miles of powdery white beaches and unspoiled coral reefs. The reef system is excellent for diving and snorkeling and the surrounding waters are a national park protected by law. The terrain is flat and made of coral, creating the tiny coves and long strips of white sand that make up 30 lovely, natural beaches.

St. Bart’s is a natural marine reserve and is an attractive destination for those who enjoy scuba diving, in addition to the popular local sport of people watching. St Bart’s is often referred to as the St Tropez and Porto Cervo of the Caribbean. The island offers the best that money can buy in the way of peace and quiet, scenery, French food and wines and idyllic sun and sea. There are small green mountains, meadows marked with low stone fences, pristine beaches, sandy coves, and a smattering of neat little villages. Gustavia, the capital is an impeccable, picture-postcard town. Its harbor is one of the safest in the Caribbean.

St. Kitts & Nevis
St. Kitts is one of the most seductive islands of the Caribbean. The island remains uncrowded and unspoiled. Until recently the development of tourism had been restricted to small hotels, which had been built from ruins of old plantations.
Nevis the 36-square-mile island lies just west of Antigua and a short sail away from St Kitts. This island jewel is rich with natural vegetation that is unparalleled.
