THE CARIBBEAN
Barefoot, Effortless, Unforgettable.
St. Lucia, the British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Turks & Caicos, Barbados and every island in between. Designed for the traveler who wants the water without the crowd.
The Caribbean is the easiest place in the world to book badly. Four hours from most of the country, a thousand resorts that photograph identically, and almost no way to tell from a website which beach is the one you actually wanted. The difference between a week you talk about for years and one you have forgotten by spring is almost never the island. It is the property, the side of the island it sits on, and the week you go.
WHY TRAVEL THE CARIBBEAN WITH TDC
The Islands All Look the Same Online. They Are Not the Same.
Most Caribbean disappointment is a mismatch rather than a bad hotel. A couple who wanted quiet books an island built for volume. A family arrives at a property with an age minimum. Someone chases a photograph to the wrong coast in the wrong month.
So the question is never which island is best. It is which week you want, and which island gives it to you.

CARIBBEAN EXPERIENCES
What We Design Once You Leave the Resort Gate.
SAILING & CHARTER
The Islands by Water
Bareboat, crewed or fully staffed charters through the British Virgin Islands and the Grenadines. These islands were built for this, and most people only ever see them from land.
PRIVATE ISLANDS
An Island of Your Own
The Aerial BVI and properties like it can be taken whole, for a milestone birthday, a family that has outgrown one villa, or a group that would rather not share a beach.
ON-ISLAND EXPERIENCES
Past the Resort Gate
Sunset sails beneath the Pitons, reef days, rum distilleries and catamaran afternoons, arranged through our partners at Island Routes.
WHERE WE SEND YOU
Three Properties. Three Completely Different Weeks.
Jade Mountain, St. Lucia
St. Lucia
The room with no fourth wall, open to the Pitons. It is the most requested property in the Caribbean and it earns the attention, but the sanctuary categories are not interchangeable and it books further ahead than almost anything on the island. If you want room for a family, or the freedom to actually leave the room, Sugar Beach sits between the same two peaks.
The Aerial BVI
British Virgin Islands
A private island you can take whole. Built for milestone birthdays, multigenerational trips and groups who would rather have the beach to themselves. Wellness programming if you want it, and nothing at all if you do not.
Hermitage Bay, Antigua
Antigua
A small adults-only bay on the quiet side of Antigua. Everything is included, without any of the feeling that word usually carries. The right answer for a week when the plan is to do nothing, beautifully.

THE REST OF THE REGION
We Plan the Whole Caribbean.
The islands above lead because there are properties behind them. They are not the only places we send you.
Jamaica · Round Hill and GoldenEye for the quiet, design-led side of the island, Half Moon when the trip includes children.
Dominican Republic · Cayo Levantado, a private island in Samaná Bay, and a very different Dominican Republic from the one most people picture.
U.S. Virgin Islands · St. John and St. Thomas. No passport required for US citizens, which makes it the simplest week in the region to put together.
St. Vincent & the Grenadines · Mustique, Canouan and Bequia, and the best sailing water in the Caribbean.
Aruba · Outside the hurricane belt, with the most dependable weather in the region.
Anguilla · Low-rise, unhurried and almost entirely about the beaches. An island people return to.
St. Barths · Villas, French cooking, and a season that runs hottest over New Year.
The Bahamas & the Exumas · Closest to home, and the easiest place in the region to add a boat or an island of your own.
Grenada · Spice, rainforest and the least developed of the southern islands.
Nevis · Small, green and slow, with St. Kitts a short ferry away.
