“Experiential travel” is one of the biggest buzz words in the industry right now, as more and more travelers look to get out beyond their hotel rooms, explore their destinations and immerse themselves in local destinations. We’ve always advocated for that – for connecting in a deeper way with the Caribbean. Having said that, sometimes you want to find a place for a blissful, stress-free vacation, where you can escape the bustle and find your own private sanctuary.
