Many of us have forgone vacations in the last few years. If you’re ready to leave your house this year and escape to somewhere new, then warm weather and beautiful beaches await you in the Caribbean. Here are the top five Caribbean islands to visit in 2022.
Antigua
If you constantly dream of spending time on the beach, you should spend part of 2022 in Antigua. The island claims to have one beach for every day of the year, with each stretch sporting delicate white sand alongside a pristine sea. Antigua is perfect for travelers seeking a less crowded beach experience, as vacationers can find plenty of privacy along the 95 miles of coastline.
Grenada
Grenada certainly offers the beach-going experience you’re looking for in a Caribbean vacation, but it also brings something special to the table: character. Inside the main harbor in St. George, you’ll find a picturesque collection of colorful buildings peppering the steep hills. There, you can visit cozy cafés and enjoy illustrious cuisine. After you wrap up an evening enjoying everything St. George has to offer, spend the next morning hiking the island’s national forest trails, spotting the wildlife, and seeking out gorgeous waterfalls.
Barbados
Barbados strikes an incredible balance between laid-back and luxurious. Sporting its aptly named Platinum Coast and a series of incredible diving spots, Barbados calls to vacationers looking for an iconic island experience. Pair that with the island’s variety of festivals, sports, and cultural experiences, and you have the recipe for a well-rounded adventure. Now is a better time than ever to visit, as the country is still offering the Barbados Welcome Stamp visa, an invitation for remote workers interested in experiencing an island work-cation!
Aruba
Anyone who worries about the weather ruining their dream vacation should consider booking a flight to Aruba. Along with sitting outside the hurricane belt, Aruba retains a fantastically consistent climate, with each day coming in at around 82 degrees Fahrenheit. This island also has its fair share of natural wonders, but one factor that sets a trip to Aruba apart from the others is the access to casinos. With plenty of games to choose from, this is one island with little risk of rain but plenty of chances for fun!
Jamaica
Jamaica truly earns its place among the top five Caribbean islands to visit in 2022. If you’re looking forward to immersing yourself in music, meeting new people, and experiencing everything island life has to offer, then the culture capital of the Caribbean is for you. Food-lovers should also know that jerk dishes originate here—and no one does it better than the innovator. From nature walks to late-night dances, Jamaica has a little something for everyone!
