The holidays are fast approaching, meaning it’s time to start thinking about your next Caribbean vacation (that is, if you haven’t already planned a Caribbean trip in the meantime).

For us, there’s nothing better than Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s in the Caribbean. As those in wintry places dream of a White Christmas, why not dream of a White Sand Christmas?

Here are the best holiday destinations in the Caribbean right now.

Aruba It’s as good of a family destination as there is in the Caribbean, thanks to spacious hotels, ease of getting around and a multitude of activities for travelers big and small. Whether you’re looking for a luxury getaway at the Ritz-Carlton or bringing a large group to the Aruba Marriott, there are a host of places on the island for the perfect holiday getaway.
