A
tranquil volcanic island noted for its old plantation inns and
lush tropical forest reaching up to a 3,200 mountain peak. Discovered by Christopher Columbus in
1493, it is perhaps still the best place to encounter an authentic Caribbean experience -- it is unique for its many plantations that have been transformed into luxury romantic hotels. Strict development regulations have kept the high-rise hotels away.

The Great House is full of nostalgic charm: old mahogany floors
and antique English furniture. Guest cottages are scattered
between the Great House and the beach. A dashing English naval
hero, Lord Nelson, fell in love with the owner's daughter and
married her at a spot nearby.
