The Caribbean islands may be the closest thing to paradise on Earth. With calm, beautiful waters, warm and sunny weather, and a wealth of luxurious Caribbean villas to choose from, the region is your ideal destination for rest and relaxation. Yet while the area is home to thousands of small islands and numerous attractions, its growing popularity with travelers has made it increasingly difficult to get away from the crowds. Fortunately for those of you exploring the Caribbean, there are a number of locales that could make for some quality alone time.

If you've got your heart set on a luxury vacation rental on the island of St. John, then a trip to Coral Bay is a must. Found on the opposite side of the island's urban center, Cruz Bay, Coral Bay is a beautiful natural harbor that remains largely undeveloped, and unforgettably quaint.

Should your travels lead you to the French side of St. Martin, an off-island excursion will take you to the wondrous Isle de Pinel, a small islet that offers unforgettable views, delectable seafood and the peace of mind that only comes from such a remote destination.

Wherever you travel, the Caribbean is sure to provide a wealth of luxurious ammenities that can relax or excite you, depending on your mood at the moment.
