Here are five of the most stunning natural wonders you can see during your time here.

1. Tobago Cays

If you travel to The Grenadines to stay in luxury hotels, Caribbean beauty spots don't get much better - especially if you head to Tobago Cays. This is a place where you will be able to enjoy absolutely stunning beaches that will literally have the ability to take your breath away. It is incredibly peaceful, and you will be able to go snorkelling in the crystal clear water to enjoy an underwater world of wonders as incredible as anything above the surface.

2. Andromeda Botanic Gardens

Many places in the world have attractive botanic gardens, but the Andromeda Botanic Gardens in Barbados are something really special. As if you did not have enough natural beauty on display around the region, these gardens will provide you with relaxing tropical surroundings where you can unwind and enjoy some fantastic views or perhaps a picnic.

3. Bioluminescent Bay

This bay in Puerto Rico is nothing short of spectacular, and a great reason in itself to choose to stay here in one of the luxury hotels. Caribbean highlights are plentiful, but this is one of the best. The ocean here is rich with bacterial life, and when you disturb the water the microscopic life forms light up and create a stunning natural light show. This is Nature at its most magical.

4. El Yunque Rain Forest, Puerto Rico

The local rainforests provide visitors with the opportunity to explore lush landscapes and discover incredible animal species. This is one of the best forests anywhere in the region and well worth travelling for. Although it's only a small park, the biodiversity is incredible, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy, including hiking.
