Island-hopping the Dutch Caribbean, one slow stay at a time
The Caribbean is one of the regions I’ve returned to most often, including more than nine months on St. Martin/St. Maarten, three months in Curaçao, two months in Tulum, and time exploring the tiny island of Saba. What I love most is how different each destination feels, from white-sand beaches and colorful towns to rugged coastlines, hiking trails, and a slower pace of daily life. These Caribbean travel guides share firsthand advice, practical travel tips, and the places I found most worthwhile beyond the resorts and cruise ports.

More about Caribbean
Four very different islands
The Caribbean guides here deliberately span the range, from a busy dual-nation island to one with no beaches at all.
- St. Maarten & St. Martin — one island, two countries, and the beaches on both sides.
- Saba — five square miles of volcanic peak, built for hiking and diving rather than resorts.
- Curaçao — outside the hurricane belt, which makes it a reliable winter option.
- Tulum — and whether it still lives up to the reputation.
