With the arrival of colder weather, many are thinking about future vacations, particularly to tropical locations. As the U.S. government urges residents to avoid travel to certain areas like the Bahamas and Jamaica due to travel advisories, alternative Caribbean destinations are emerging as safer choices.
These islands are currently listed under the government’s "level one" travel advisory, meaning normal precautions are advised. They include:
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Aruba
- Barbados
- British Virgin Islands
- (Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke)
- Cayman Islands
- (Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman)
- Curacao
- Dominica
- Grenada
- Saint Kitts and Nevis
- Saint Lucia
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
- Sint Maarten
- U.S. Virgin Islands
- (St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas)
These destinations provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for travelers looking to escape the winter chill and are particularly appealing given the recent travel advisories for other Caribbean regions.
