The most exotic Caribbean islands await you down south. Adventures are endless in this area. Explore the Hato Caves in Curaçao. Take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to race an America's Cup sailboat. Relax and take in some sun at Magens Bay Beach in beautiful St. Thomas. Stroll down the streets of Old San Juan and discover the largest Spanish citadel built in the New World, while exploring the many cultures that make up these exotic islands.

San Juan
Of all America's Caribbean islands, Puerto Rico offers the most exotic aura. The melange of indigenous Taino culture combined with European and African influences in San Juan is one major factor. Add to that its own influences in areas ranging from cuisine to music and from history to art. For most folks who visit San Juan as a one day-stop, the island's biggest appeal is Old San Juan, which dates back to the 16th century. The old, walled city has been exquisitely preserved, with its sprawling forts, cobblestone streets, antique shops and art galleries, artisan studios and distinctive boutiques.

Aruba
“One Happy Island." Aruba is the Caribbean's theme park. There are casinos, duty-free shops, over two dozen dive sites, noteworthy shipwrecks, and a championship golf course lined with cacti and populated by friendly iguanas. Aruba's trademark divi divi trees always point in a southwesterly direction (due to trade winds that blow from the northeast), but we like to think they're leading the way to the sandy beaches that ring the island in the shape of a cheery smile. Best of all, there really is no bad time to visit Aruba. Located only 20 miles north of Venezuela, temperatures are consistently pleasant.

Curaçao
Curaçao is the most "Dutch" of the Caribbean's Netherlands Antilles — and the most colorful, with its restored mansions and tiny houses painted in a burst of pastel and bright colors. However, there is nothing "old world" about its hotels and beach resorts. Some have incorporated all or parts of 18th and 19th century mansions, folk houses and museums into their architecture. This sun-splashed island has everything travelers look for in the Caribbean: fun beaches, natural wonders, unique museums and fine dining.

St. Maarten
St. Maarten is the world's smallest island inhabited by two countries. St. Maarten is governed by the Netherlands Antilles while St. Martin is part of the French West Indies. You can easily swing back and forth from the Dutch to the French sides, enjoying the best of both. On either side of the mountainous island, there are lovely beaches, rivaling the best in the Caribbean. The restaurants, cafes and designer boutiques of St. Maarten's Marigot possess a distinctive “je ne sais quoi”. In St. Maarten's Philipsburg, duty-free prices for electronics and liquor may well be the best in the Caribbean.

St. Thomas
St. Thomas offers something for just about everyone. Its duty-free shopping scene is relatively unparalleled -- and because St. Thomas is an American port, U.S. travelers get an extra duty-free allowance.  Sites include the world-famous beach at Magens Bay and a scenic tram ride to a mountaintop. Explore St. Thomas' quieter, more undiscovered side -- a lovely historic district, Water Island (the recently designated fourth Virgin Island), north shore beaches and fabulous restaurants in Frenchtown. It’s an easy 20-minute ferry ride to tranquil St. John.
