Many people's dream destination, these sunny islands offer beautiful landscapes, rest and relaxation

DOMINICA

Looking for a holiday that feels more adventurous? Head to verdant, mountainous Dominica, the Caribbean's wild, untamed isle. Lush and mountainous, its landscapes are brimming with exotic greenery and colourful birds, just the thing if you're more keen to hike, soak in sulphur hot springs or splash in emerald waterfall pools than laze on the beach.

Where to stay Sea turtles nest on the beach at Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa, near the cluster of clapboard buildings in the foothills of the Morne Trois Pitons National Park. It's a peaceful setup of 22 rooms, plus a serene pool, traditional Caribbean bistro and unspoilt black-sand beach.

* Seven nights B&B from £1,653pp, including flights, with Sunvil; sunvil.co.uk
