“Exotic” means a lot of things to a lot of people. But it always means something different, something unusual. Exotic islands are not like the islands you’re used to. They’re places where you find something unique, something beautiful, something mysterious. In the Caribbean, there are still exotic places all over the region, some private, some public, all equally, well, different. These are five exotic Caribbean islands to visit right now, big and small.

Ilet Oscar

This islet off the coast of Le Francois in Martinique is one of the most charming places to stay in the French Caribbean, home to La Maison de L’Ilet Oscar, a boutique hotel with four rooms and a lovely restaurant. But the little island is also home to terrific diving and snorkeling, too.
