Trouble choosing which island to visit? Considering a cruise of multiple destinations? Think again. Many cruises? itineraries allow a short amount of time?usually only a few hours?for travelers to spend in one location. Imagine trying to see everything there is to see in New York City in less than a day'it?s impossible. The same goes for the islands; a mere six hours isn't enough for all there is to experience on these gorgeous isles.



Whether you're looking for incredible shopping, breathtaking beaches, or dazzling nightlife, many of the islands offer all of that and more, all in one location.

A Cultural Experience

Large cruise ships fail to offer the atmospheric experience that a villa stay can. When you're in a new place, most vacationers want to escape their everyday lives and immerse themselves in a culture different from their own. When you stay on one of the many islands in the Caribbean, you are able to fully experience the range of traditions, foods, entertainment, and everything else unique to a foreign location.

A Little ?R and R?

Vacations are designed to relax you, to relieve all the stress of the workweek, household chores, and other obligations waiting back at home. Staying in a Caribbean villa allows you to follow your own schedule rather than racing against time to get back to your ship before it departs for its next location. If you get caught up shopping or lose track of time enjoying a cocktail on the beach, you should never feel rushed during your island escape. Make your own rules: sleep until lunchtime or shop all day long. When you're in the Caribbean, you should have no one to answer to but yourself.

Keeping it Private

Traveling by yourself or with the whole family? Planning a group vacation with some friends or a romantic getaway with your significant other? No matter whom you're traveling with, choosing to stay on one island versus boarding a cruise ship is the right choice. Many travelers looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation find themselves surrounded by children?not most people's idea of a peaceful retreat. By staying on one island, like a St. Martin villa, you can settle down alone in a quiet one bedroom villa in the suburbs, or let loose with friends in a larger model.

The Comforts of Home

No one wants to live out of a suitcase or spend all of their time cooped up in a small cabin. In order to truly relax and unwind, travelers need all of the conveniences they can enjoy at home. Caribbean villas, such as Barbados villas, host amenities such as full kitchens, living rooms, decks overlooking the beach, and even barbeques to grill out. No matter what your ideal vacation may be, you'll have no trouble living out your fantasies in a Caribbean villa!
