St Vincent

St Vincent & The Grenadines enjoys an already excellent but still growing reputation in the media, including being the only Caribbean destination to make the CNN "World's Top Destinations for 2012" list, where it ranked fifth. Located 90 miles west of Barbados, St Vincent is one of an archipelago of 32 islands and cays known as "the Jewels of the Caribbean". St Vincent is an enchanting paradise, an authentic and unspoilt tropical haven with secluded coves and spectacular backdrops of high mountain peaks and valleys cloaked in lush tropical forest with cascading waterfalls.
