UK to Barbados or St Lucia (4 Nights): Your Caribbean adventure will begin in your choice of either Barbados or St Lucia, both offering the ideal introduction to island life. While it may be best known for its idyllic beaches (there are over 70 miles of them), it’s the variety that sets Barbados apart. Head west for calm waters and coral reefs at Paynes Bay, Gibbes Beach, Mullins Beach and the exclusive Sandy Lane, or venture east for rugged beauty, excellent surfing conditions and pretty botanical gardens. Bridgetown offers historic charm, duty-free shopping and easy access to Carlisle Bay, where you can snorkel over shipwrecks or take a catamaran cruise to swim with turtles. Also don’t miss the Mount Gay Distillery for a taste of the island’s iconic rum. For a more nature-focused experience, St Lucia is a great choice with its iconic twin Pitons and lush landscapes. Walk through rainforest trails, explore the mud baths and steaming vents of Sulphur Springs and take in the lovely towns of Soufrière and Rodney Bay, where you’ll find colourful markets, cafés, and stunning coastal views.
✈️ Barbados to St Martin/St Maarten (4 Nights): A short flight north will bring you to the dual island nation of St Martin/St Maarten. The flight across offers stunning aerial views, giving you a beautiful preview of what’s to come. Once you land, it’s up to you which side of the island you call home for the next 4 nights. The French side, St Martin, has a laid-back, sophisticated charm, with boutique hotels, cafés, patisseries, and some of the Caribbean’s finest cuisine. You’ll find stylish beach clubs on Orient Bay, quiet coves such as Happy Bay, and the relaxed town of Grand Case. The Dutch side, St Maarten, offers a livelier vibe. It’s home to duty-free shopping, buzzing beach bars, and the famous low-flying planes over Maho Beach. Philipsburg, the capital, has a pretty waterfront and promenade lined with restaurants and markets.
⛴️ St Martin to Anguilla (3 Nights): The ferry from St Martin to Anguilla is quick and easy, and before long, you’ll find yourself on one of the Caribbean’s most exclusive islands. Anguilla is all about understated luxury, with soft white-sand beaches, crystal-clear water, boutique hotels, and intimate fine dining. Even the beach shacks serve up lobster and fresh fish that would rival any gourmet dining experience. When it comes to beaches, Shoal Bay and Meads Bay are two of the island’s most stunning, with fabulous sunsets. There aren’t many big resorts or crowds here but that’s all part of the charm. If your trip coincides with the island’s boat racing season, try to catch a race. It’s the national sport and a great way to experience local culture.
✈️ Anguilla to Nevis (3 Nights): Arriving in Nevis, you’ll feel like you’re stepping back in time. Nevis isn’t flashy, and that’s exactly why people love it. The landscape is dominated by a volcanic peak and fringed with pristine, quiet beaches. With its small size and unhurried pace, it’s easy to slip into its laid-back rhythm. The island is the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton and a colonial legacy can be found in the island’s old plantation inns, where you can sip rum punches surrounded by tropical gardens. Beyond the beach, you’ll find natural hot springs, walking trails, and green monkeys swinging through the trees.
⛴️ Nevis to St Kitts (3 Nights) The quick ferry ride to St Kitts will bring you to Nevis’s more developed sister island. (Although ‘developed’ is relative in this beautifully quiet part of the Caribbean!) The scenic railway that circles the island offers a great way to view the sights and landscapes as it follows the route of the old sugar train along the coastline and past abandoned plantation ruins. Brimstone Hill Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers great views and fascinating history. The capital, Basseterre, has an authentic Caribbean town atmosphere where local life continues largely untouched by tourism. The beaches on the southeast peninsula are particularly beautiful, while the island’s central mountain range offers great walking opportunities.
✈️ St Kitts to Antigua (4 Nights): Your final stop, Antigua, is the perfect end to your island-hopping adventure. Famous for having 365 beaches (one for every day of the year) it’s the ideal place to combine relaxation with a bit of exploration. English Harbour has a beautifully preserved Georgian naval dockyard while nearby Shirley Heights is a great spot to watch the sunset views over the harbour. There is a strong sailing culture especially during Sailing Week. For a lovely day trip, nip over to Barbuda to experience the pink sand beaches or the rainforest canopy tours. Or simply kick back on one of Antigua’s beautiful beaches for the final few days of your island-hopping adventure.
✈️ Antigua to UK: Time to conclude your Caribbean holiday and head back to the UK.

We contacted eShores having visited the website to discuss a tailor made holiday to the Sporades islands. We spoke to one of the Travel Consultants, Kadie Ryan, who was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We received a quote shortly following our conversation and with Kadie's help were able to book our holiday with ease the next day. We are very happy with our experience booking this holiday.

Fantastic Holiday. Just returned from a great South African holiday, Cape Town 3 nights, Pilanesberg Safari 3 nights and a week in Zanzibar. Big thanks to Chris again, his knowledge helped organise and plan this vacation. This is the second long haul holiday he has booked for us. Each holiday has been faultless even though we have changed the itinerary to suit . The Safari he recommended on this trip, Ivory Tree in Pilanesberg was 5 STAR and made the holiday, another tick on the bucket list. Eshores customer service is second to none. I recommended this company to my daughter who is presently on a Canadian fly drive with them and is thoroughly enjoying it. Based on previous experience Chris has now helped us book Australia, Hong Kong & Dubai for next February, can’t wait. All their trips are good value for money, would not have any hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy with what we booked, ( we asked for a trip/experience to Egypt), and Rachel put something together and within the budget we asked for. Once we reviewed it, we tweaked it several times for what we wanted in parts and Rachel did the rest. Very personable and pleasant to deal with. I think we will be looking at other experience holidays through E Shore in the future rather than your standard package holiday.

Booked with eshores last year. Holiday was excellent and everything ran smoothly. We had one problem with one of the transfers in which we missed the plane and had to pay for the next flight but that was sorted and refunded when we returned home. Booked with them again for next year. Matt has been extremely helpful (and patient. We are a nightmare). Eshores are very competetive and I would not hesitate in recommending them and I hope to be using them for years to come.
