Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
  • Iles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
During the feast of All Saints in 1493, Christopher Columbus discovered this archipelago of nine islands that he named "The Saints". Today, only two of them are inhabited. Terre-de-Haut, in the east, is dominated by the Morne Mire hill; at the summit stands Fort Napoleon, paying homage to the islands' history. In the heart of the botanical garden, shared by iguanas and cacti, there is an exceptional view of the Baie des Saintes, one of the most beautiful in the world. The long shady beach of Pompierre, where it is forbidden to drop anchor, is a peaceful place for a swim, while Pain de Sucre Beach offers wonderful opportunities for snorkelling. On the island, don't forget to taste the local speciality, the "tourment d'amour", a cake made with coconut. ...

Falmouth Harbour, Antigua/Barbuda
  • Falmouth Harbour, Antigua/Barbuda
Located to the south of the island of Antigua and Barbuda, Falmouth Bay is home to a marina that is the perfect starting point for visiting Nelson's Dockyard, where the former naval base and former home of the British Admiral Horatio Nelson can be found. This village was built in 1725 to act as a base for the squadrons of ships that used to patrol the waters of the West Indies to ensure British naval supremacy. It is the last naval dockyard of the Georgian period to be so well preserved and still active. This UNESCO World Heritage Site includes a collection of buildings and port facilities surrounded by a fortified compound. ...

English Harbor, Antigua/Barbuda
  • English Harbor, Antigua/Barbuda
During your port of call in the north of the Lesser Antilles, you'll discover idyllic beaches of white powder-like sand bathed by turquoise waters of striking intensity. The very British colonial atmosphere of English Harbour, a former Royal Navy base, mixes with creole culture in a happy union. This Eden, which has managed to stay calm and intimate, is brimming with very wild fauna and flora. Arts and crafts are present in the markets and shops, where you'll find wooden statuettes, printed fabrics, and very good rum produced in the island's distilleries. ...

Opposite Saint Christopher island, Nevis will win you over by its more easy-going rhythm than its neighbor, and by its tranquil atmosphere. Go ahead and explore the rich history of this island, admire its Georgian architecture in Charlestown, and smell the wonderful scent of the tropical flowers in Nevis's botanical garden. The sumptuous landscapes that adorn this volcanic island offer you pleasant hiking opportunities at the foot of Nevis Peak. And to cool down, you'll enjoy taking a dive into the turquoise waters, so characteristic of the Caribbean... ...

Gustavia, St. Barts, Saint Barthelemy
  • Gustavia, St. Barts, Saint Barthelemy
Lovers of this island call it Saint-Barth. This French island in the Lesser Antilles was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493. Ever since, this tiny mountainous volcanic gem with its unspoilt nature has been enchanting visitors. You will enjoy the beauty of its large paradisiacal beaches, plus the charm and refinement of its old wooden houses and its sumptuous colonial manors. Although, as you saunter through the streets, you'll come across jewellers, top fashion boutiques, and fine restaurants, there is also a simplicity that money can't buy... ...

  • Prickly Pear Cays, Anguilla
Located 5 miles north of Anguilla, the twin islands of Prickly Pear East and West are separated by a narrow channel. Prickly Pear East consists of a huge white sandy beach and rocky outcrops offering excellent snorkeling possibilities. Behind the main beach, there is a small pool where the black-necked stilt comes to feed. The harder-to-access Prickly Pear West has a small beach of low limestone cliffs dotted with bushes. The waters surrounding the cays of Prickly Pear are protected by the Anguilla Marine Park. Green and hawksbill sea turtles, endangered species, nest on these beaches. The island is also home to an indigenous iguana population as well as a colony of Anguilla laughing gulls. As you sail around Prickly Pear West, it will be easy to observe many birds along the cliffs, including red-billed tropicbirds, brown noddies, brown boobies, and little terns. This is also where the only colony of brown pelicans nesting in Anguilla can be found: it is a species of regional importance. ...

Philipsburg (St. Maarten), Netherlands Antilles
  • Philipsburg (St. Maarten), Netherlands Antilles
The capital of the Dutch part of Saint-Martin, in the south of the island, Philipsburg is bordered by a 3-kilometer-long (1.9 miles) expanse of sand. Following a stroll along Front Street and Back Street, the lively streets edged with houses with colorful facades, take a break on a lounger opposite the calm and turquoise sea of Great Bay. Sint Maarten Museum will immerse you in the past of the Arawaks, an indigenous people of the West Indies. You will also be able to admire the view from Fort Amsterdam, the first fort constructed by the Dutch in the 17th century. ...
