Cozumel
Hello, Mexico! This paradise is one of the largest islands in Mexico. Back in 1961, the well-known researcher and explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau filmed a documentary about its seabed. But what is so special about Cozumel? For us it has everything: you can enjoy a snorkel morning, visit Mayan ruins surrounded by nature, walk along white sands and swim in crystal clear waters to observe incredible marine species. The gastronomic variety is amazing in Cozumel, so we recommend you to go to any restaurant on its islands and ask for a "seafood platter". One of the most recommended activities is to tour the jungle of Cozumel by quad: you can bathe in the emerald waters of the Jade Cave.
Our recommended hotel for a luxury experience in Cozumel is Secrets Aura Cozumel, a luxury hotel for adults only.

Cayman Brac
But, are there caimans on this luxury Caribbean island? Well, more than alligators you're going to find herons and funny green parrots. The name of this island is because it is composed of limestone rock ("brac" in Scottish Gaelic). In Cayman Brac you will enjoy deep calm because there are only 1,800 inhabitants. This paradise was classified by Coastal Living magazine as one of the 10 most beautiful coasts in the world for its wild flora and fauna as well as its waters. In addition to kayaking, diving, or snorkeling you can surprise your senses with the "City of Manta Rays" or "The Sea Turtle Sanctuary". An incredible experience to see the habitat of these marine species!
Enjoy endless summers at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort. Located on the island's picturesque Seven Mile Beach, our oceanfront hotel invites you to revel in relaxation while enjoying the sugary white sand and crystal clear water of Grand Cayman Island.

Cayo Largo del Sur
A dream paradise for couples. Banks of impeccable sands in the middle of the sea, starfish, pelicans, or sea turtles in Sea Turtle Hatchery, a space destined to protect and take care of the native fauna of the island. In addition, if you are passionate about the marine world, don't forget the dolphinarium where you can swim with these affectionate and fun fish.
Bella Isla Resort offers an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, and fitness center. The establishment has a restaurant, a garden, a hot tub, and a sauna.

Isla Catalina
Catalina Island or Ikiita Island in Punta Cana is known for pirate settlements in the 15th century. Today, the pirate gang led by Francis Drake has given way to large coral reefs where fish roam freely. Catalina Island is part of the Cotubanamá National Park, currently protected, where you will find caves with ancient paintings and ceramic remains. On this island, you will come across tender animals called raccoons, something extraordinary in the Dominican Republic.
Casa de Campo resort and villas are known as the best golf resort in the region, its 3 golf courses designed by Pete Dye include Teeth of the Dog, the #1 course in the Caribbean. The activities are superior to anything you'll find anywhere else: 8 outstanding restaurants including the impressive Minitas Beach Club, a marina, an equestrian center with polo fields, a shooting range, excellent shopping, and 3 beautiful white-sand beaches.
