Barbados is an island where relaxation and adventure go hand in hand. White sandy beaches stretch for miles while snorkelling and sailing are some of the world-class water sports on offer.

Fort Lauderdale stands on South Florida’s Gold Coast, a charming meeting of canals and beaches. There’s also a chance to venture into Miami or experience the sawgrass expanse of the Everglades.
Fort Lauderdale was named for the series of forts built on this stretch of swampy shore in the 1700s for protection against Seminole Indians. In the late 1800s, the boggy land was repurposed by digging out a series of canals to leave long strips of land in between. This created a greater habitable area as well as 300 miles of waterways. And so the ‘Venice of America’ was born. Today these man-made inlets have millionaire yachts moored along their banks and lavish mansions at their edge.

The 180 or so islands that make up Bermuda create a welcoming stepping-stone in the Atlantic. Its capital, Hamilton, is a vision of pastel houses to match the famous pink beaches.
Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory that was first settled by the English in the early 1600s.
