The Caribbean...

LONDON, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The Caribbean is one of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the world offering paradise beaches, some of the friendliest people on the planet along with fascinating culture. For a unique holiday experience Virgin Holidays recommends The BodyHoliday at LeSPORT in St Lucia, which offers guests to take part in as much activity as they want or unwind on the secluded Cariblue beach. The resort offers three swimming pools plus Jacuzzi, the Oasis spa and a range of activity classes from spinning to windsurfing. The hotel also features its own golf centre with four practise holes and a putting green, tennis courts and an archery range.

Sandals resorts are Virgin Holidays luxury adults only resorts and the Sandals Royal Hicacos Resort & Spa is located on the largest Caribbean island of Cuba on the magical Veradero beach. This couple's-only retreat has five tantalising restaurants all serving up their own speciality from seafood to Italian as well as several bars including the poolside swim up bar, ideal for those hot Caribbean days.

Tobago offers so much as an island; it's home to the oldest protected rainforest in the Western hemisphere as well as the protected marine park of Buccoo Reef. The Coco Reef resort is a brilliant base from which to explore this stunning island and the villages of Charlotteville, Castara and Scarborough are well worth a visit to get an authentic experience of life on Tobago.

The Coconut Bay Beach Resort is a Virgin Holidays favourite hotel based on the spectacular island of St Lucia. The resort is split into two parts; 'Harmony' is a relaxed adult only environment with a spa and tranquil pool, the other part is 'Splash', which hosts St Lucia's only water park and children's centre. This enables Virgin Holidays' guests to enjoy the type of holiday that they require. The resort also has a wide variety of activities ranging from free tennis lessons to paintball and even a dedicated watersports centre for wind and kite surfing.

A popular resort on the laid back island of Antigua is the Halcyon Cove Antigua by Rex Resorts located on the sandy white beach of Dickenson Bay. The hotel features its own picturesque pier which serves as a restaurant in the evening. For awe inspiring views of the lush rainforests and sparkling beaches the climb to Boggy peak, the highest point on Antigua is well worth the effort!
