Philipsburg, St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles

Philipsburg combines its historical legacy with 20th century excitement.  A dash of Paris and a splash of Holland and Caribbean essence make this little island a blend of pure paradise.  Shared by the French and Dutch for over 350 years, it’s like visiting two islands in one. St. Maarten features some of the best shopping buys in the Caribbean.  Sidewalk cafes, open air markets, and beautiful white sand beaches lined with coconut palms await you.

St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

The beautiful scenery alone would fulfill the dreams of most visitors – but there is much more.  This laid-back island paradise is also a shopping Shangri-La.  Once a haven for merchant, naval and pirate ships, the waterfront warehouses that were filled with pirate booty in the past have been converted into duty-free shops stocked with imported luxuries.  Glimmering bays, clear blue water, and powdery sand beaches surround St. Thomas.  The stunning Magen’s Bay is listed as one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world.

Grand Turk, Turk and Caicos Islands

Grand Turk is the capital of the Turks and Caicos Island. This small island is bursting with turn-of-the-century charm.  Founded by Bermudan Salt Rakers some three centuries ago, its Bermudan British colonial architecture amidst the colorful Caribbean style dwellings make Grand Turk worth a visit.  Blessed with miles of quiet sugary beaches, it is close to several uninhabited cays just waiting to be explored. Grand Turk excels in providing spectacular diving, snorkeling, fishing and sailing. The warm Atlantic waters are filled with an incredible array of marine life dolphins to the magnificent humpback whale.
