Amazon's Newest Fashion Drop Has the Best Vacation Clothes I've Seen All Summer—Including Linen Styles From $8
Amazon's New Releases storefront is filled with just-added pieces that are ideal for summer travel. I searched these new fashion drops, and I was seriously impressed with what I found: high-quality cotton and linen pieces, elevated wardrobe staples, and travel-friendly designs. The best part? Since these items are brand new, you're unlikely to spot other travelers in the same outfit.
Keep reading for the best travel clothes that no one will believe are from Amazon, including matching sets, linen pants, summer dresses, and more. Prices start at just $8.
I'm willing to bet you'll want to wear these 'lightweight and comfortable' linen pants on repeat. Their stretchy drawstring waist and flowy flared cut ensure you'll stay comfy all day long, while the wrinkle-resistant fabric makes them ideal for travel. Best of all, they're available in four inseam lengths to accommodate a wide variety of heights. Pair them with casual sandals, white sneakers, or wedges, depending on the occasion.
If there's such a thing as a perfect pair of shorts, this is it. The five-inch inseam isn't too short or too long, and the stretchy drawstring waist will keep you comfy all day. Plus, the breezy cotton-linen blend will keep you cool on the hottest summer days. I'd pair these shorts with a white blouse or button-down shirt, although the possibilities are endless.
A flowy strapless top and wide-leg pants make up this gorgeous matching set, which happens to be one of the most stylish sets I've spotted at Amazon. The top and bottom are both classic, versatile pieces, so they can easily be styled separately as well as together. Best of all, the airy cotton fabric ensures you'll be cool and comfortable under the sun.
Anrabess makes some of my favorite travel pants, and I'm eyeing this new cropped style. With a flowy fit and drawstring waist, these pants are 'extremely comfortable,' according to reviewers. The cropped length makes them perfect for walks on the beach, and they'd look great with a simple tank or feminine blouse.
This pleated tank is a prime example of the pieces you need to build a capsule wardrobe. With a babydoll silhouette and pleated fabric, it puts a unique spin on a basic white tank while still being versatile enough to pair with just about anything. The cotton fabric, paired with the flowy top, will keep you feeling cool and breezy, even on summer's hottest days.
If dramatic wide-leg pants are on your shopping list, I highly recommend you go for this pair. Reviewers describe them as 'lightweight without being paper-thin' and 'flowy while still being flattering.' Thanks to the linen-rayon blend, these pants have a better drape than pure linen, though they're still just as breathable.
Ever since reading that a fellow travel writer wore a denim mini dress on repeat while living in Nice, I've been dying to add a similar style to my wardrobe. While denim may not scream 'summer,' the short hemline and relaxed fit ensure this adorable dress won't be too stuffy. Plus, this dress is so easy to style from day to night. I would wear this dress with white sneakers for a day of sightseeing and swap them out for a dressier shoe for dinner.
Despite the cotton-linen blend, reviewers rave that this staple button-down 'doesn't wrinkle' and 'is not see-through.' I love that this shirt has three-quarter sleeves and a V-neck detail, which sets it apart from other simple button-downs. I'd layer it over a tank top on chilly nights or throw it over a swimsuit on beach days.
This skirt set looks so much like a $98 version shoppers love—but it's just $32. But don't worry, you won't pay the price when it comes to quality, according to reviewers. Shoppers rave about the set's fabric quality, effortless look, and versatility. One shopper calls it 'great for travel,' adding that it can even be styled into the colder months. I love that the top and bottom can be styled separately or together, the mark of a wardrobe-elevating set.
At just $8, this cotton-linen tank top is an absolute steal. Its breezy fabric and versatile design ensure it will get plenty of wear, and one reviewer wrote that they now own three different colors of this 'light and flowy' piece. There are 30 colors to choose from, including vibrant shades and simple neutrals.
One reviewer wrote they 'love these for hot, humid weather in Hawaii.' These barrel pants blend my two favorite fabrics for summer, cotton and linen, ensuring you'll stay cool on hot travel days. Shoppers note that the fabric is thicker than expected, which means it's not as see-through as 100-percent linen. While these pants have a comfy drawstring waist, they do run small according to reviewers, so be sure to size up for the perfect fit.
I'll be honest: I wasn't completely sold on this midi dress until I peeked at the reviews. Shoppers are raving about the fit and quality, and the dress looks gorgeous in the reviewer images. Instead of a structured A-line silhouette, it flows beautifully at the waist for a more relaxed feel. The dress is breezy, comfortable, and sophisticated. I'm adding it to my cart for my next dressy dinner.

10 Best Places to Be a Digital Nomad in Europe, According to Remote Workers and Expats
The global digital nomad community surpassed 40 million in 2025, according to the data company DemandSage—representing a 149 percent increase since 2019. Some 18.1 million of those people are from the U.S., but before you book your ticket to join them, there are a few things you need to know. "The digital nomad lifestyle is about designing a life that blends professional flexibility with personal exploration," Keith Spencer, a career expert at FlexJobs, shared with Travel + Leisure . "To strike the right balance, digital nomads are typically drawn to cities with reliable internet, affordable living costs, vibrant local culture, and a strong community of remote workers." As Spencer noted, anyone considering this lifestyle should look beyond the beautiful scenery of a destination and consider all the practical details. "Time zone compatibility with clients and colleagues, access to essential infrastructure, language barriers, and local tax implications can all play a major role in the overall experience," Spencer said. "Becoming a successful digital nomad requires thoughtful planning, financial stability, and a willingness to adapt to new environments. That might sound intimidating to some, but many find that the freedom and perspective this lifestyle offers are well worth the trade-offs." Ready to take the leap? Here are 10 of the best European destinations for digital nomads. People swimming in natural pools on the coast of Madeira. Lauren Breedlove/Travel + Leisure Portugal has been a hot destination for digital nomads for years. I should know—I moved here four years ago as part of my PhD journey while also working remotely. Although I am on a different visa track than digital workers, I can attest to how friendly and open the nation is to those who want to call it home, even if only for a little while. However, the biggest advice I'd give to anyone who asks is to look outside the city centers of Porto and Lisbon, both of which are currently facing housing shortages for locals. Luckily, as our experts explained, the rest of the country is just as lovely as these hubs. 'One place to look into is Madeira, Portugal. It's not very expensive, the weather is pretty nice year-round, and it's not too touristy," Steve Schwab, the CEO of Casago, a vacation rental site, explained. "Beyond that, they actually have a 'Digital Nomad Village' in Ponta do Sol. It's a co-living, co-working area that is designed specifically for digital nomads, so it's a great way to meet other digital nomads." Rekha Magon, co-founder of Boundless Life, a website for digital nomads, agreed, noting that 'Sintra feels like a fairy-tale village nestled in the hills just outside of Lisbon. It's peaceful yet connected, with charming cafés, reliable Wi-Fi, and just 20 minutes from beautiful beaches. The castles are majestic, and the energy is both creative and grounding.' As for how you can move, look into Portugal's D7 visa, often a top choice for remote workers who can show proof of a steady income (around $890 a month, or equivalent savings). A clocktower in old town Kotor, Montenegro. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure Montenegro may only be about 5,300 square miles, but don't let its diminutive size fool you. This nation packs a major punch for those looking to experience culture, nature, and history in between Zoom meetings. As for the perfect spot, Magon said digital nomads should head right to Kotor, a fortress town along the coast. "Kotor is a rare mix of medieval charm and coastal calm, ideal for digital nomads seeking inspiration," Magon said. "The stunning landscape views, endless hiking trails, and serene pace make it feel like a retreat that still gets work done." Montenegro doesn't offer a dedicated digital nomad visa, but remote workers can apply for a temporary residence permit, which allows them to stay for one year. Patio seating in Pistoia, Italy. Christopher Larson/Travel + Leisure Italy is always a great idea, especially for longer stays. But like Portugal, it's key to look outside the major city centers for maximum enjoyment—and Magon has the perfect recommendation. 'Pistoia is Tuscany's hidden gem," Magon shared. "It's rich in history, full of local flavor, and home to some of the best gelato you'll ever have. A regional train connects you easily to nearby towns, making it a great base for both focus and exploration." Italy launched its digital nomad visa in 2024, designed for non-EU remote workers with 'high qualifications.' You'll need proof of remote employment, along with an annual income of at least $28,950 and private health insurance. Prague's cityscape. Ambika Verma/Travel + Leisure "Prague is unique because it has a good mix of culture, infrastructure, and relatively low prices. It has a lot of history, nature, and lively nightlife," Heinz Klemann, a digital nomad who runs his company BeastBI from all over the globe, explained of one of his top spots for digital nomads. "A lot of people speak English, especially younger professionals." Plus, if you move here, you'll be in good company. According to Nomad List, Prague ranked as one of the most popular digital nomad destinations in 2022, coming in at No. 18. The Czech Republic offers a Zivno trade license for freelancers. It has some requirements, including proof of a local address, a trade license in specific professions, and at least $5,600 in savings. Bratislava castle in Slovakia. Alisha McDarris/Travel + Leisure Slovakia is one more nation that punches well above its weight when it comes to perks for digital nomads. 'Bratislava, Slovakia, is a small, laid-back city that is very cheap to live in," Klemann explained. "If you want to stay focused on work without a lot of distractions, this city is great." Slovakia does not currently have a formal digital nomad visa. However, remote workers can apply for temporary residence as freelancers. This permit comes with some financial requirements, along with proof of health insurance. Cyclists in downtown Ljubljana, Slovenia. Michela Sieman/Travel + Leisure Hop over Austria or Hungary and find your next temporary home in Slovenia, which, like the others mentioned on this list, offers plenty of history, fantastic food, and welcoming communities. 'Ljubljana, Slovenia offers culture and things to do like Prague, but with a slightly more laid-back atmosphere," Klemann said. "It's clean, safe, and with lots of green space and nearby nature for weekend escapes, like Lake Bled." Slovenia also doesn't offer a dedicated nomad visa; however, it does allow foreigners to apply for long-term stay permits. Applicants need to register a sole proprietorship and meet the minimum income requirements. Visitors on a cliff coast line in Dubrovnik. Ambika Verma/Travel + Leisure Looking for warm breezes and cool, turquoise waters? It's time to plot your nomadic stay in Croatia. 'Dubrovnik, with its ancient walls and panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, is another great option for digital nomads," Simon Tian, a full-time digital nomad who runs his company Fonus from across the world, shared. "The city has a growing community of remote workers." Croatia's digital nomad visa allows people to stay for up to 18 months; applicants must show proof of income as well as proof of local accommodation and health insurance. Aerial view of Skanderbeg Square in Tirana, Albania. GOUPI CHRISTIAN/robertharding/Getty Images The Balkan nation is on the rise, making it a top contender for digital nomads. As Cepee Tabibian, founder and CEO at She Hit Refresh, a company that helps women relocate abroad, shared, it's also 'affordable, authentic, and welcoming." Specifically, she shouts out the nation's capital, Tirana, as a great option as it's "still under-the-radar for most." She added, "I think the best selling point is that U.S. citizens can live there visa-free for up to a year. No paperwork needed." Yes, that's right—U.S. citizens can stay in Albania for up to 365 days without a visa. For longer stays, you'll need to apply for a residence permit, which you can learn more about online. A busy public plaza in Athens, Greece. Christopher Larson/Travel + Leisure Tabibian had one more nearby destination digital nomads need to add to their list: Greece. And once again, she thinks the nation's main city is the best place to go. 'Athens is a mix of ancient history and big-city energy," Tabibian said. "It's lively, affordable, has co-working spaces, and has a digital nomad visa that is relatively easy to qualify for." The digital nomad visa requires proof of remote work, a monthly income of at least $4,000, and health insurance. A rainy day in Tallin, Estonia. Christopher Larson/Travel + Leisure Last—but most certainly not least—is one of the first European nations to invite digital nomads: Estonia. "One of the first countries to launch a digital nomad visa back in 2020," Jesse Neugarten, founder of Dollar Flight Club, noted, "it allows remote workers to stay for up to one year." Estonia is often cited as a top spot for nomads, thanks to its excellent digital infrastructure, which provides high-speed internet almost everywhere. And in its capital city, Tallinn, nomads will find a rich mix of tech startups that will surely inspire their next professional move. Though Estonia isn't only great during working hours; the country is also filled with green spaces that are excellent for disconnecting, including six stunning national parks. Digital nomads must earn at least $4,100 per month and work for a non-Estonian company to be eligible to apply. See more information on their website.

I've Stayed at More Than 50 Hotels in the Caribbean—These 12 Keep Me Coming Back Again and Again
The Caribbean, with its oversized, over-the-top resorts set along white-sand, sugary beaches, has long been a go-to destination for winter-weary travelers looking to fly and flop. And there are literally hundreds of options that travelers could choose from. As a full-time writer who covers culture, cuisine, and travel, I've stayed at some of the best properties in the region, from an all-inclusive private island in the Dominican Republic to a home away from home in the heart of historic Havana. In fact, I've stayed at more than 50 hotels in the region—and in my opinion, these 12 are the best hotels in the Caribbean. Private plunge pool at Sandal's Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Freshly debuted last spring, Sandals St. Vincent & the Grenadines is the perfect marriage between ultra-luxury and adventure, and it's the first all-inclusive resort of its kind in the archipelago nation that should be on every traveler's radar. This luxe 301-room property has 11 food and dining venues, four pools, and a sumptuous spa. At Buccan, chefs employ traditional solid fuel-driven cooking techniques to prepare island-grown meals. Splurge and stay in one of the property's premium Vincy Overwater Two-Story Villas. These overwater bungalows come complete with butler service, outdoor soaking tubs with rainfall showers, and rooftop lounges for an experience that will make you wonder why anyone would ever fly all the way to the Maldives. Location: St. Vincent and the Grenadines St. Vincent and the Grenadines Nearest Airport: 15 miles to Argyle International Airport (SVD) 15 miles to Argyle International Airport (SVD) Family-friendly or Adults-only: Adults-only Adults-only Restaurant Reservations: Reservations are required at some restaurants.

Two rooms are accessible, and a beach wheelchair is available to borrow. Rates: $$$ Wooden deck overlooking the ocean at Secret Bay. I get asked for honeymoon recommendations on a shockingly frequent basis for a single person. Secret Bay is my top pick every time, an all-villa property on the untouched island of Dominica that has been named by T+L readers as the best resort in the Caribbean for three years running. Secret Bay's collection of twenty-three villas has private plunge pools and butler service, and expansive indoor-outdoor living space with views ranging from rainforest to the Caribbean Sea. Simply waking up in paradise is its primary appeal, though you'll be tempted to emerge from your villa yoga classes in the new wellness pavilion, stand-up paddleboarding by the beach, or cooking classes and chef-driven menus at the oceanview restaurant. Location: Portsmouth, Dominica Portsmouth, Dominica Nearest Airport: 23 miles to Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) 23 miles to Douglas-Charles Airport (DOM) Family-friendly or Adults-only: Family-friendly Family-friendly Restaurant Reservations: Reservations are not required.

Staff have received training on the needs of travelers with disabilities. Rates: $$$ Left: Guest room; Right: Walkway at Cottage Club Hotel. Perched on a hillside on one of the smallest islands in the Caribbean, The Cottage Club is a destination so special that I almost feel tempted to keep it to myself. With its stately Great House and a collection of just 10 private cottages built to blend into the white-wall, red-roof Saban architectural aesthetic, The Cottage Club is one of just a few hotels on an island of around no more than 2,000 people. It's hard to say whether it was the unrivaled hospitality or incredible adventurous activities, like world-class diving or summiting the island's volcanic peak, Mount Scenery, that made my visit so memorable. Regardless, untouched-by-time Saba is unexpectedly one of the coolest places to be in the Caribbean.

Rooms and facilities are not wheelchair accessible and no real accommodations for guests with mobility issues are provided. Rates: $ Nova Lounge at Oil Nut Bay. The North Sound of Virgin Gorda might be the most sought-after zip code in the Caribbean, and at its heart is Oil Nut Bay, which feels like a private island. Cut off from the rest of Virgin Gorda and accessible only by boat and helicopter, its supreme seclusion is a part of its unending appeal. This oversized 400-acre property stretches between both the Caribbean and Atlantic coasts of the island, home to oceanview suites and spacious villas, and estates available for rent when owners are traveling elsewhere. It's pure laidback luxury at the property's private beach club, sports courts, kids' club, and gym, with an overwater bar and restaurant welcoming visitors to spend the entire day in this corner of paradise. The property's brand new overwater spa will debut soon, a perfect excuse for a return visit, if you ask me. Location: Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands Nearest Airport: 12 miles from Virgin Gorda Airport (VIJ) or 20 miles from Terrance B. Lettsome Airport, Tortola (EIS) 12 miles from Virgin Gorda Airport (VIJ) or 20 miles from Terrance B.

A selection of single-level villas is available for guests using wheelchairs, and all of the property's restaurants are wheelchair accessible. Rates: $$. Guest bedroom at Playa Grande Beach Club. Hidden away on a still untouched stretch of coastline on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, Playa Grande Beach Club is the utter antithesis of the oversized resorts and busy beaches of Punta Cana. Eating freshly fried plantain chips and sipping coconut mojitos from your private patio or beneath a fringed umbrella on the white sand beach is the name of the game here. With just a handful of private bungalows, ranging from one to three bedrooms, you'll have this corner of the coastline almost all to yourself to enjoy. However, should the inspiration strike to get out and explore, whale-watching in the cooler months and hikes to crystal clear lakes and lagoons in the summer are themselves worth traveling for. Location: Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic Nearest Airport: 49 miles to Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) 49 miles to Gregorio Luperón International Airport (POP) Family-friendly or Adults-only: Family-friendly Family-friendly Restaurant Reservations: Reservations are not required.

Take a peek inside the stately Founder's Cove at Jamaica's Half Moon Resort and you'll see photos of superstars, past presidents, and even the Royal Family adorning the walls. What started as a small collection of cottages along a then-untouched Montego Bay beachfront has blossomed into a legacy of luxury that continues today. A championship golf course, numerous sports courts, a new fitness center, and a Salamander Spa with an impressive menu of treatments and wellness experiences keep guests coming back again and again. Locals and visitors alike come from far and wide to dine here, too; the property's historic Sugar Mill Restaurant is one of the most celebrated restaurants in the Caribbean, though the newer Delmare is arguably even better with an Italian-meets-Caribbean menu with standout dishes like Blue Mountain coffee-infused pasta that blew me away. Location: Montego Bay, Jamaica Montego Bay, Jamaica Nearest Airport: 5.5 miles to Sangster International Airport (MBJ) 5.5 miles to Sangster International Airport (MBJ) Family-friendly or Adults-only: Family-friendly Family-friendly Restaurant Reservations: Reservations are required at some restaurants.

Rates: $$ Aerial view of the pool at Alaia Belize. Taylor McIntyre/Travel + Leisure Alaia Belize draws the vacation-ready with its modern, modular design style and luxurious amenities that only add to the island's boundless appeal. Even standard rooms come with private outdoor space to enjoy tropical breezes, but suites offer terraces so spacious they could be an entire room in their own right. Accommodations aside, the resort's pièce de résistance is the adults-only rooftop swimming pool and eatery serving sushi, ceviche, and the freshest shrimp tacos I've ever had outside of Mexico. Grab one of the property's golf carts for an excursion up to the white sand Secret Beach or for a jaunt into San Pedro for some shopping or local bites at Elvi's Kitchen and drinks at the overwater restaurant Palapa. The property's dedicated dive shop makes exploring the reef even easier, offering everything from beginner-friendly PADI certifications to advanced diving classes in preparation for taking on Belize's world-famous Great Blue Hole. Location: San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize Nearest Airport: 1.5 miles from John Greif II Airport (SPR) 1.5 miles from John Greif II Airport (SPR) Family-friendly or Adults-only: Family-friendly Family-friendly Restaurant Reservations: Reservations are not required.

Elevators and ramps make parts of the property accessible, though rooms and pool areas lack adaptations for wheelchair users. Rates: $$ Aerial view of the beach at Baoase Luxury Resort. Baoase Luxury Resort is a serene and secluded property named after an oasis. It's lush and green, and set on a private white cove beach where Balinese-inspired villas and cottages pop up from the sand. This tranquil 23-key spot feels intimately designed for a romantic getaway where you'll be tempted to go no further than your own room, especially if you spring for one with a private pool. When you do, the whole of this infinitely appealing island awaits, still a mostly hidden haven with spectacular snorkeling and beaches that feel blissfully bare compared to those on neighboring islands. The restaurant here is one of the best in the Caribbean, part of a sizzling culinary scene that has contributed to the island's blossoming in a way I could have never imagined when I first visited more than 15 years ago.

I had heard that Caerula Mar Club on South Andros Island in the Bahamas was the only resort of its kind on the island, but I didn't realize just how unique it was until I grabbed a paddleboard and took it in from the water. All along the island's palm-fringed coastline, there are barely any other structures in sight, other than this 2021 It List hotel. During my stay at this 23-key boutique property, I met all sorts of guests. Some were here to fish for tarpon and bonefish, while others simply wanted to unplug and unwind for a week. All of them, however, felt lucky to have snagged one of the few precious rooms at this tropical escape. And don't be surprised if you meet a lot of Canadian guests here; Caerula Mar is much more famous than its small size might let on. It was featured in HGTV Canada's Island of Bryan , which followed owners Bryan and Sarah Baeumler throughout the years-long renovation process. Caerula Mar Club's appeal now far surpasses its 15 minutes of fame, and welcomes visitors who come back year after year.

Some rooms and facilities are wheelchair accessible, though flight transportation to and from the island is not wheelchair friendly, making access challenging. Rates: $$ Guest room in La Reserva Vedado. Years of traveling to visit family in Havana have taught me that the best places to stay are found outside the city's tangle of colonial-era streets and in stately, century-old mansions like La Reserva Vedado. This heritage home sits along a quiet side street shaded by banyan trees in one of Havana's poshest neighborhoods, with white columns and an ample patio with rocking chairs greeting guests. To stay here feels like coming home, each of its 11 rooms and suites are uniquely designed but have luxe details like soaring ceilings and original tile floors. The property's lush garden has an intimate cafe and restaurant with indoor-outdoor seating. Sign up for the guest-favorite mojito-making class with the bartender before heading to the nearby Malecón Sea Wall to take in the sun setting over the ocean.

It's nearly impossible to pull me away from the culture and cuisine of sizzling San Juan, Puerto Rico, but if there's one place that can do it, it's Finca Victoria in nearby Vieques. A T+L It List property, Finca Victoria feels like any other place in the Caribbean. The property's commitment to wellness goes far beyond the basics: it's the only Ayurvedic hotel in the Caribbean and a popular Panchakarma retreat center complete with complimentary daily yoga classes and a spa menu with everything from traditional massages to Chinese medicine-inspired treatments. Wellness retreat or not, I will never get over the treehouse suites here, which are stunningly beautiful. Larger estate-style rooms and a brand-new Airstream will have you booking your return visit before your first stay comes to an end.

Rates: $$ A bedroom in a Cayo Levantado Resort villa. Set on the white sands of a palm-fringed private island in the Dominican Republic, Cayo Levantado Resort is tailor-made for beachside indulgence. This It List hotel has pools scattered across the property as well as oceanfront bars and eateries, making it as easy to spend an entire stay just steps from the water. But the real standout amenity of Cayo Levantado Resort is its wellness program, considered among the very best in the Caribbean. I'll be the first to admit that I arrived a total skeptic, but by the end of a breathwork and sound healing session, I was having an out-of-body experience (seriously). Serenity seekers could easily spend days on end at the Yubarta wellness center in the verdant heart of this tropical island, learning aerial yoga, getting energy healings, and sitting in on dream analysis from trained practitioners.

The property is accessible only by boat, a challenge for visitors with mobility concerns, though facilities and rooms offer accessibility measures to make navigating the island easier. Rates: $$ Summertime travel has never been hotter in the Caribbean, with many vacationers only now realizing that this warm-weather escape is pretty dreamy year-round. Once the throngs of travelers return home in mid-April, resorts slash rates and bare beaches abound. Many locals insist the islands are at their best in the rainier months of the summertime with all their green tropical lushness, and for travelers who don't mind a passing afternoon shower, I tend to agree! Off-season travel certainly comes with its perks, but it also coincides with Atlantic hurricane season, which stretches from June to November. Visitors should purchase travel insurance and check with their hotel or resort about weather-related cancellation policies prior to departure. Islands outside the hurricane belt, such as Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, or Caribbean-facing coastal spots in the Americas like Cartagena, Colombia, or Bocas del Toro, Panama, can also make convenient alternative destinations during the summertime. Planning a Caribbean vacation spanning multiple islands can be more complex and costly than many travelers realize. While certain islands are well connected by ferries or water taxis, like the British Virgin Islands, in many areas, ferries are infrequent, costly, or non-existent. Even flights between islands are less frequent and more expensive than most travelers realize, often requiring passengers to transit through hubs like San Juan, Miami, or Fort Lauderdale. Can't shake the desire to cross multiple islands off your bucket list in one trip? The ferry system connecting St. Lucia, Dominica, Guadeloupe, and Martinique is one of the region's best.
