Ever thought about mixing things up on your next holiday? A twin-centre break in the Caribbean lets you explore more of this stunning region in one trip! Island hopping is a fantastic adventure, giving you a mix of experiences - from lush landscapes to pristine beaches, vibrant culture and some serious relaxation. Whether you're after adventure or just want a change from the usual beach holiday, here's why you should consider combining Nevis, Jamaica and Turks & Caicos for a holiday to remember.
Nevis – A hidden Caribbean gem
If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual Caribbean getaway, Nevis is the perfect place. It’s a small island packed with history, natural beauty, and a laid-back charm you won’t find anywhere else.
Explore lush rainforests, wander through historic Charlestown, or simply relax on stunning beaches. And if wellness is your thing, Nevis has got you covered - think spa treatments, yoga, meditation and outdoor adventures like hiking, biking and water sports.
For a truly unique stay, head to Golden Rock Inn - a tranquil retreat 1,000 feet above sea level, set in 40 acres of tropical gardens. With just 11 luxurious rooms, this boutique hotel is all about peace, privacy and breathtaking views. The gardens, designed by renowned landscape architect, Raymond Jungles, create a lush, jungle-like oasis, and the award-winning restaurant offers dining with stunning views over to Antigua.
Nevis pairs perfectly with nearby St. Kitts, where you’ll land before taking a short boat ride over. Or, for a mix of experiences, why not combine it with Antigua? With British Airways flights stopping in Antigua on the way to St. Kitts, it’s an easy add-on, and regular ferry services mean you can hop between the islands effortlessly.
Jamaica – Culture, history and breathtaking landscapes
If you fancy starting your trip in Jamaica, you’ll be welcomed by a vibrant island full of culture, history and stunning natural scenery. Crissa Hotels has two fantastic properties offering an authentic Jamaican experience:
S Hotel Montego Bay
A locally owned gem with 120 beautifully designed rooms, featuring Jamaican-made furniture and artwork. Enjoy the on-site spa, restaurant and entertainment, all with a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
S Hotel Kingston
A stylish, all-inclusive option where you can soak up the island’s rich history, retrace Bob Marley’s footsteps and enjoy fantastic dining and entertainment.
Getting between Montego Bay and Kingston is easy - it’s a 3-hour scenic drive or a 30-minute flight. And when you’re ready to move on, you can fly directly from Montego Bay to Providenciales in Turks & Caicos.
Turks & Caicos – The Caribbean’s best-kept secret
Turks & Caicos is quickly becoming the next big thing in luxury travel, often compared to the Maldives for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and dazzling white sand beaches. This collection of 40 islands and cays is perfect for island-hopping, world-class diving and pure relaxation.
If you want to experience two of the best beaches in one trip, check out The Hartling Group’s "Beach to Beach" twin-centre package:
The Shore Club (Providenciales, Long Bay Beach)
A stylish, secluded beachfront resort with an indulgent spa, four pools and three fantastic restaurants.
The Palms (Grace Bay Beach)
A stunning 72-suite resort with one of the world’s most beautiful beaches on its doorstep, plus a 25,000-square-foot spa and infinity pool.
Both properties have the Virtuoso seal of approval, so you know you’re in for a world-class experience.
With direct Virgin Atlantic and British Airways flights from the UK, getting to Turks & Caicos has never been easier. It’s an amazing choice if you’re looking for a luxurious, off-the-beaten-path beach break, with some of the world’s best seafood, fine dining and unique cultural experiences - including the famous Thursday night Fish Fry, where you can try local delicacies like conch and lobster.
