Wild Caribbean: luxury Barbados, Dominica & Saint Lucia

Enjoy the day at your own pace, maybe spend time relaxing on stretches of powdery white sands, or take a refreshing dip in the calm, glittering waters. As the sun sets across the island, indulge in Barbados’ culinary scene at one of the island’s exclusive dining hotspots.

Set sail today on a luxury catamaran cruise along Barbados’ spectacular west coast. Your journey begins at Shallow Draft Marina, where you’ll be welcomed aboard with a cold drink and canapés before heading out to sea. Along the way, you’ll make a stop at two of the island’s best snorkeling spots, or simply relax on a “sea sofa”, drifting across the calm, turquoise waters. A traditional Bajan barbecue will be served onboard before you return to your hotel. Round off the day at your own pace, perhaps with a sunset stroll along the beach.

Leave Barbados behind as you catch your onward flight to Dominica, known as the “Nature Island” of the Caribbean. Largely untouched, the island is known for its rugged volcanic landscapes, dense rainforests and cascading waterfalls. On arrival, you'll be transferred to Secret Bay, a luxurious cliffside retreat for total seclusion and immersion in nature.

Dominica is an explorer’s paradise, with many opportunities to uncover its wild beauty. Today, you might choose to hike to the Boiling Lake in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or snorkel at Champagne Reef, where streams of natural volcanic bubbles rise from the seabed. Further away, the traditional Kalinago Territory offers a glimpse into the island’s indigenous heritage and one of the last pre-Colombian populations in the Caribbean.

Alongside a knowledgeable guide, today you'll have the opportunity to explore the tranquil waters of the Indian River on a privately guided boat tour. Depending on weather conditions, you might depart directly from the beach and glide through mangrove-lined waterways surrounded by lush rainforest. Keep an eye out for local wildlife along the way, including crabs, fish and a variety of birdlife that thrive in this serene natural sanctuary.

Enjoy your last full day in Dominica at your own pace, whether unwinding with a soothing spa treatment, exploring the historic ruins of Cabrits National Park, or swimming in the natural habitat of sperm whales alongside an expert conservationist, offering a rare opportunity to observe these gentle giants in the wild.

Depart Dominica today and travel onward to Saint Lucia, arriving at the island’s domestic airport. After collecting your bags, continue your journey by helicopter to Jade Mountain, located in the south of the island. Take in the spectacular aerial views of the dramatic Pitons before arriving for your last stay.

Start your morning with uninterrupted views of the Pitons from the comfort of your bed. After enjoying a leisurely breakfast, perhaps spend the day relaxing in your sanctuary’s infinity pool, or head to Anse Chastanet Beach to feel the volcanic sands between your toes.

This morning, you might wish to explore more of the island with a visit to Diamond Falls & Botanical Gardens, arriving before it opens to the public for an exclusive private tour. Here you can explore the gardens and striking waterfall, and take a dip in the private mineral pools, filled with naturally warm, mineral-rich waters flowing from the nearby Sulphur Springs region. Alternatively, spend the afternoon relaxing or visit the hotel's spa for a rejuvenating treatment. As the sun sets across the island, enjoy your final evening in Saint Lucia with a candlelit dinner, with the Pitons and a starlit sky as your backdrop.

Today, enjoy a leisurely day before heading to the airport in time for your flight home.
