5 Caribbean Vacations for October, From Dominica to The Bahamas

New hotels, new villas, new dining hotspots. It may be the quietest time of year in the Caribbean, but the region is as hot as ever – and an October vacation in the Caribbean means you’ll often feel like you have the whole island to yourself. The latest edition of Places to Visit takes you from a new hotspot in The Bahamas to the delights of pure serenity on a small island in the Eastern Caribbean. 

Dominica The island of Dominica is about to get on the map in major way in the middle of this month (Oct. 14, to be exact), Kempinski debuts its highly-anticipated Cabrits Resort and Spa in the north of the island. The spectacular new 151-room luxury beach resort, the product of Range Developments (the company behind the celebrated Park Hyatt St Kitts), is a major addition to the island’s mostly boutique hotel product. And it will serve as yet another reminder for travelers to visit Dominica, which is the most naturally beautiful destination in all of the Caribbean.
