St Vincent

St. Vincent and the Grenadines, part of the Windward Islands, are located at 13° 15 N, 61° 12 W. Their closest neighbours are Grenada, 120 km to the south, St. Lucia 40 km to the north and Barbados 160 km to the east. St. Vincent is the largest of the more than 30 islands that comprise the nation, covering roughly 390 sq. km. This beautiful island has rugged mountainous terrain, lush forest and many uncluttered beaches and inlets that more than imitates an Amazon getaway.

Agriculture, dominated by banana production, is the most important sector of this economy. The services sector, based mostly on a growing tourist industry, is also important. Recent growth has been stimulated by strong activity in the construction sector and an improvement in tourism.

St. Vincent has a mountainous interior, having La Soufriere, an active volcano in the north rising to 1,220 m as its highest point, and a sheltered and indented coastline on the Leeward coast. St. Vincent is roughly 29 km long and 17.7 km wide. The average yearly temperature is 27° C (81° F). The coolest months are between November and February.

Discover a beautiful getaway; a hideaway that is not as commercial as most others, but offers the visitor an uncommon vacation with plenty of variety. This is the land - St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Barbados

The Island of Barbados is recognized around the world for its sheer natural beauty, the richness of its culture and above all the friendliness of its people.

The lively beach culture of Barbados has a long history. The locals love to spend time on these long stretches of peach sand just as much as the visitors. The west and south coasts are relatively calm, since they face the protected Caribbean Sea.

It is warm and sunny all year round with an average daytime high of 75 - 85 F. The nights are usually slightly cooler. The prevailing northeast tradewinds blow steadily so that although it is bright and sunny, it is not unbearably hot. The rain usually comes in quick showers. The dry season lasts from January to June.

Discover an island of dreams, an intimate respite from the day-to-day you'll always remember. Follow sandy beaches and turquoise Caribbean waters to the west, rugged coastline to the north, pounding Atlantic surf to the east, and grassy sugar cane fields surrounding historic Great House Plantations. You'll also find quaint villages and cosmopolitan Bridgetown, museums and landmarks, and unparalleled sights amidst wildlife reserves, flower forests and fields with gullies.

Dominican Republic

The white-sand beaches, impressive mountain ranges veined with spectacular rivers and waterfalls, and saltwater lakes teeming with exotic wildlife are just part of the Dominican Republic's appeal. Whether you're looking to party, relax or explore, the Dominican Republic has a lot to offer.

Super fine white sand sprinkled with coconut palm trees line the east coast while golden sand defines the beaches of the north coast. Adding a third colour to the palette are the grey sand playas of Barahona in the west. Some of these areas are populated with resorts featuring a full array of water sports, food vendors, people watching and other activities. While others take visitors to another world of pristine tranquillity with peaceful, uninhabited beaches, here, the only intrusions are a towering coconut palm and the swaying breeze.

The majority of the Dominican Republic enjoys beautiful tropical weather all year round, with the average annual temperature hovering around 25°C (77°F). Some call the Dominican Republic's climate, 'the endless summer', due to warm and sunny conditions experienced pretty much everywhere in the country, all year round.
