🌴☀️ ANTIGUA & THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS – TWO SIDES OF CARIBBEAN PARADISE! ⛵🌊

Why visit just one Caribbean island when you could experience two?

I've been fortunate enough to visit Antigua and several of the beautiful British Virgin Islands over the years, including the rather memorable experience of sailing aboard the Estée Lauder yacht!

And having experienced both destinations, I can honestly say they make a wonderful combination for a luxury Caribbean holiday.

🇦🇬 ANTIGUA – BEAUTIFUL BEACHES & CARIBBEAN CHARM

Famous for its 365 beaches, Antigua offers far more than just sunshine and white sand.

Explore historic Nelson's Dockyard, enjoy the spectacular views from Shirley Heights, discover excellent restaurants and relax in some of the Caribbean's loveliest luxury hotels.

🇻🇬 BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS – SAILING, SECLUSION & BAREFOOT LUXURY

The BVI offer something rather different.

Think crystal-clear turquoise waters, secluded bays, beautiful little islands and some of the finest sailing anywhere in the world.

From the spectacular Baths on Virgin Gorda to the exclusive luxury of Peter Island, this is the Caribbean at its most wonderfully relaxed.

⛵ AND YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A SAILOR!

One of the best ways to experience the islands is aboard a privately crewed yacht, exploring beautiful anchorages and stopping wherever takes your fancy.

Having experienced sailing in the Caribbean myself, it's something I would thoroughly recommend.

🌴 TWO DESTINATIONS. ONE EXTRAORDINARY HOLIDAY.

Imagine spending five nights in Antigua, followed by another five or six nights exploring the British Virgin Islands.

It's a fantastic combination of luxury hotels, beautiful beaches, fascinating places to explore and perhaps a little adventure on the water!

✈️ WHY BOOK WITH DG TRAVEL?

With over 40 years' experience in the travel industry, I believe there's no substitute for personal knowledge and good, old-fashioned service.

At DG Travel in Henley-on-Thames, we can arrange everything from luxury beachfront hotels and private-island retreats to tailor-made Caribbean itineraries and crewed yacht charters.

And because I've visited both destinations myself, I can offer a little more than simply repeating what's written in a brochure!

📖 I've written a new blog about Antigua and the British Virgin Islands, including my own experiences, some wonderful hotels and why I think they make such a special twin-centre holiday.

🌍 WHERE WILL 2027 TAKE YOU? ✈️

Five extraordinary destinations, five very different experiences… and perhaps the inspiration for your next big adventure!

As we head towards the end of 2026, we're already looking ahead to some of the wonderful travel experiences waiting to be discovered in 2027.

Here are five destinations we think deserve a place on your holiday wish list! 🌎

🇨🇦 CANADA – Into the Wild! 🐻

Imagine watching grizzly bears in their natural habitat, exploring the breathtaking Canadian Rockies or taking to the open road on a spectacular self-drive adventure. Canada really does offer something rather special.

🇻🇳 VIETNAM – A Feast for the Senses! 🍜

From the bustling street-food markets of Hanoi to the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, Vietnam is a fascinating mix of culture, history, wonderful scenery and some of the most delicious food you'll ever encounter.

🇪🇬 EGYPT – Ancient Wonders & a Celestial Spectacle! ☀️

The Pyramids, the magnificent Grand Egyptian Museum and the temples of the Nile are reason enough to visit. But did you know that on 2 August 2027, Egypt will experience an extraordinary total solar eclipse, with around six minutes of totality near Luxor?

🇮🇳 INDIA – Discover a Different Side! 🕌

Colourful, captivating and wonderfully diverse. From the palaces of Rajasthan to authentic cooking experiences with local families, India offers unforgettable opportunities to discover its people, traditions and culture.

🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICA – The Magic of Safari! 🐘

Few experiences compare with watching elephants gather at a waterhole or heading out on an early morning game drive. Add luxurious safari lodges, Cape Town and the beautiful Winelands, and you have the makings of an incredible holiday.

However, even several days of rain could not disguise what a wonderful city it is.As many of you will know, I have travelled extensively since starting my career in travel since the 1980s.
