The Grenadines
The Grenadines are superbly undeveloped, supremely unspoilt and sufficiently inaccessible to stay that way. This jewel-like chain of 32 islands is home to some of the Caribbean's most alluring hideaway hotels and undiscovered gems; the journey alone is spectacular as you fly from Barbados over the clear turquoise waters speckled with lush green islands. For such a small country, there's an outstanding choice of resorts – whether you're looking for relaxed glamour or barefoot simplicity – and an equally surprising range of natural attractions aside from the ocean. As you might expect, watersports are superb and it's a sailor's paradise. Honeymooners will find it hard to find a more romantic escape – and beachcombing hedonists need look no further! By palm dotted beaches of powder sand, a handful of hotels offer sumptuous comfort.
