*Two of our favorite Caribbean beach resorts are located on the island of St. John — Little Dix Bay and Caneel Bay - both spectacular! Virgin Gorda (BVI) is beautiful too.

We also love the white-sandy beaches in the Bahamas, especially Atlantis Beach at the Atlantis Resort. Bermuda's pink-sand beaches are stunning too — our favorite beach is Horsehoe Bay.
