Virgin Holidays + HIP Hotels Insiders Tip the Caribbean as the “Must-Go” Destination of 2010

Travel insiders at Virgin Holidays + Hip Hotels have tipped the Caribbean as the place to be seen in Summer ’10.

For a true A-List experience, few hotels are better suited than the iconic Sandy Lane hotel in St James, Barbados. Loved by celebrities and described as “unashamedly luxurious”, this piece of Caribbean paradise is for those who like their luxury with every modern convenience. The style is Caribbean Georgian, with the porches, staircases, columns… in fact, every last detail of Sandy Lane carefully adhered to in this style.

Those after a more laid-back Caribbean experience will prefer The House Barbados. If a beachside version of a downtown hotel and the look and feel of a fabulous adults-only villa is more the order of the day, then the VHip Travel Gurus will always recommend The House Barbados and luxury fans alike will love that a complimentary champagne breakfast is served every day and each guest is assigned their own personal ambassador to cater to every whim.

For a true Caribbean getaway, Grenada is the ideal spot and the Laluna hotel in Morne Rouge is perfect for those wanting absolute escapism. The palette of vibrant Caribbean colours may be absent from this escape for purists, but then this is one retreat for the ultimate getaway. All the bungalows are disguised by the verdant green of this tropical island, and the idyllic beach is hidden to all but guests of the Laluna hotel.

The Carlisle Bay hotel in Antigua is picture perfect, a natural harbour in the most remote corner of Antigua, defined by a fine crescent of sand. Think emerald waters and swaying palm trees – the stuff that you take for granted – and add a perfect Caribbean bolthole, the Carlisle Bay Hotel. The absolute pinnacle of Caribbean bliss.
