select the type of holiday you want.
Weddings and Honeymoons
If you’re among the increasing amount of couples considering having their wedding in
the Caribbean, you’ll want to know that weddings take place on a weekday there so
it’s important to allow for the minimum required residency period. Provisional wedding
dates can be arranged in advance but are subject to the Registrar being available.

of the larger islands such as Barbados, Antigua or Jamaica where you’ll find a wider
selection of hotels and resorts. Our Travel Consultants here in the UK and our team in
Barbados can help you plan your special day and the honeymoon – on the
understanding that for you and yours, it’s not just another holiday. Feel free to call us
for advice and allow us to take care of all the arrangements, so you don’t have to.

America; the modish urban spas in the North American cities, even treatments
inspired by the great Canadian outdoors. Within the brochure we’ve highlighted the
properties that feature a full spa and our Travel Consultants would be delighted to help
you select a resort and pre-book any treatments for you.
Families
At Elegant Resorts we understand that those of you travelling with children might

children’s clubs as part of their facilities – catering for everyone’s needs from babes-
in-arms and inquisitive toddlers through to teenagers. Our Travel Consultants will be
happy to assist with pre-booking arrangements such as babysitters or nannies;
highchairs and cots, and will even advise on which airlines are the most child-friendly.
Experiences
Destinations such as Latin America and Canada are perfect for the more adventurous
traveller and our Travel Consultants would be happy to create a bespoke itinerary to
ensure you get the most out of your holiday experience – whether that’s organising a

18. Barbados
Barbados is more than just an island in the West Indies, it’s almost a
way of life, synonymous with exclusive hotels and fashionable
restaurants. Yet what originally made the island so popular – its coral
sand beaches, turquoise waters and friendly people – is still very
much in evidence.
It would be impossible to describe the island without mentioning the
game of golf – the design talents of both Tom Fazio and Robert Trent
Jones Junior are both used to optimal effect. Do utilise the services
of our friendly team in our island office who are helpful and
professional, without being obtrusive. They’ll advise on local beauty
spots, book day trips to nearby islands and make restaurant
reservations for you.

36. Antigua
Whilst Antigua’s famous white sand beaches are the island’s
primary attraction, its appeal is far more complex than that.
Scenically, it falls somewhere between Grenada and the Virgin
Islands, incorporating panoramic seascapes, tropical rainforests
and cacti-dotted hillsides. Despite its ongoing flirtation with gourmet
restaurants and designer boutiques, its longstanding love affair
with the sea keeps it friendly, relaxed and totally unpretentious. If
you plan to sightsee, the best way to deal with the ubiquitous
potholes is to hire a Jeep with good suspension. And, don’t forget
your sense of adventure as signposts are scarce, although if you
have to ask for directions the locals will become lifelong friends if
you drop cricketing hero, Viv Richards, into the conversation! Aim for
Nelson’s Dockyard, Shirley Heights, Half Moon Bay, Fig Tree Drive
and St John’s harbour-front shops and you’ll see the best the island
has to offer.
