Divided into what’s commonly known as the Greater and Lesser Antilles, the Caribbean has emerged from its roots as the West Indies to become a region known for its cultural and environmental diversity. From sprawling islands like Saint Maarten full of beachfront Caribbean real estate and large scale entertainment and dining to smaller islands like Saba recognized for its scuba diving and some of the most captivating natural sights, each island within the Caribbean has developed its own individual personality.

The Caribbean’s existing tourism and vacation appeal has consistently made the region a perennial favorite with all ages. Young individuals come to explore the abundant nightlife and entertainment, the working classes visit the unspoiled white sand beaches to get away from the daily grind and retirees come to find a private home or villa in which to spend their golden years while surrounded by the tranquil Caribbean Sea.

Bahamas and Jamaica are recognized globally as some of the best places to plan a vacation and discover cultures that still practice and hold onto the foundations that define Caribbean culture. Festivals like the annually held Carnival are a brilliant display of food, traditional costumes, elaborate parades and the music of the Caribbean including calypso, mambo, reggae, and salsa.
