In June, the US Census Bureau announced that for the first time, Millennials, or people born between 1982 and 2000, now outnumber baby boomers, numbering 83.1 million in the US. That means a huge and booming travel population that will be increasingly important to the Caribbean. Millennials have somewhat different tastes — they’re looking for dynamic, energetic, high-design places that focus on experiential travel. When it comes to hotel design, that also means vibrant social spaces, music, technology, eco-friendliness and community impact. These are the best hotels in the Caribbean for millennials right now. (We’ll also be doing a story on all-inclusives for millennials soon).
