The Caribbean is famous for its balmy breezes, perfect beaches and drinks by the water. Resorts like the Tamarind in Barbados (shown here) serve mojitos made with local rum, which has been distilled in Barbados for more than 300 years.

<strong>A deeper dive into Antigua: </strong>For a window into the country's British colonial heritage, book the resort's tour of the island's historic sites, including Nelson's Dockyard National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Slavery flourished here until emancipation in 1834, when Antigua was granted independence from Britain in 1981.

<strong>A deeper dive into Aruba: </strong>Desert terrain covers much of the island. To get a greater sense of the island's arid landscape, explore Arikok National Park's cacti and aloe plants on a Jeep excursion with De Palm Tours.

<strong>A deeper dive into Grenada: </strong>Cocoa beans thrive here, and small-batch chocolate production is alive and well. Wander the cocoa fields at Belmont Estate, and observe the bean-to-bar chocolate-making process while drinking a hot cocoa.
