Our atelier is in Montréal, so we know the feeling well: in the middle of January, all you want is warm sand and turquoise water. Good news: the Caribbean dry season corresponds exactly to the Canadian winter. Here are ten destinations to find the sun.
1. Martinique
French-speaking, lush and refined, Martinique combines white sand beaches in the south and rainforest in the north. Our heart destination, where you can find our pieces at Calypso in Fort-de-France.
2. Guadeloupe
A butterfly-shaped archipelago with very different landscapes: beaches of Grande-Terre, waterfalls and volcano of Basse-Terre, and the islands of Les Saintes and Marie-Galante.
3. Riviera Maya, Mexico
Cenotes, Mayan ruins and Caribbean beaches: Tulum and Playa del Carmen are among the favourite destinations of Canadians in winter.
4. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Long beaches lined with coconut palms, perfect for an all-inclusive week of total rest.
5. Cuba
Varadero and the cayos for white sand, Havana and Trinidad for culture and colour.
6. Barbados
Calm west coast beaches, surf on the east coast, and a refined, welcoming atmosphere.
7. Saint Lucia
The famous Pitons, volcanic beaches and spectacular hotels: ideal for a honeymoon.
8. Turks and Caicos
Some of the clearest water in the world, with the long white beach of Grace Bay.
9. Jamaica
Negril and its Seven Mile Beach sunsets, music, food and the waterfalls of Ocho Rios.
10. Costa Rica
For those who love nature: the Pacific beaches of Guanacaste enjoy their dry season in winter.
