🌴 Travel tip: Look for shoulder-season deals in May or October to avoid crowds and high prices.

🇨🇺 2. Cayo Santa Maria, Cuba

Vibe: Laid-back, charming, and budget-friendlyWhy go: Cuba’s dreamy beaches, vintage vibes, and wallet-friendly all-inclusives make it a top choice for sunseekers. Cayo Santa Maria is known for its peaceful atmosphere and sparkling turquoise waters.

🇯🇲 3. Montego Bay, Jamaica

Vibe: Irie energy, island charm, and reggae rhythmsWhy go: From luxury resorts to cultural experiences and waterfalls worth chasing, Montego Bay has it all. Relax on Doctor’s Cave Beach or take a day trip to the famous Dunn’s River Falls.

🇨🇷 5. Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Vibe: Surf-town soul with eco-luxury flairWhy go: For a tropical escape with a bit of adventure, Tamarindo has it all — surfing, yoga, wildlife tours, and beautiful beach sunsets. It’s great for couples, solo travelers, or anyone who likes a more relaxed pace.

🦥 Travel tip: Try a beachfront Airbnb or eco-lodge for a more local experience.

🇦🇬 6. Jolly Beach, Antigua

Vibe: Underrated gem with postcard viewsWhy go: Antigua boasts 365 beaches (one for every day of the year!), and Jolly Beach is one of its stars. Think powder-white sand, calm waters, and sunsets that don’t even need a filter.
