The term "exotic" is often used too frequently to falsely describe areas that could more appropriately be called ordinary or commonplace. Places like Jamaica and Aruba, for example, are often referred to as exotic, when in truth they have become very popular destinations which attract thousands of tourists each year. However there are still a few truly exotic vacation spots in the Caribbean—spots offering a combination of privacy, seclusion and luxury—that are quickly making a name for themselves. In this article we will discuss two such locales in a little more detail: Barbados and Turks and Caicos.

Exotic Vacation Spots in the Caribbean: Barbados

Barbados is a skillfully blended incorporation of British Colonialism and African belief systems and culture. From the moment you land on this beautiful island, you’ll notice that this exotic vacation spot features over 100 miles of pristine, coral beaches which are just minutes away from thick tropical jungles just teeming with local wildlife. The people in Barbados are very friendly and speak English as their first language which should make it very easy to get around and explore all the island has to offer. At a Barbados exotic vacation spot you can:

• Hire a tour guide and explore the entire island

• Lose yourself shopping at Pelican Village

• Participate in water sports such as scuba, snorkeling and saltwater fishing

• Visit the Barbados wildlife preserve

• Dine and drink at one of the hundreds of restaurants and bars located on the island

• And much, much more…

Exotic Vacation Spots in the Caribbean: Turks and Caicos

While the island of Turks and Caicos may be lesser known than some of the larger, more tourist-catering island groups in the Caribbean, this wonderful location is the perfect exotic vacation spot. Featuring some of the finest beaches and sea activities in the Caribbean, Turks and Caicos will make you feel—at times—like you’ve left civilization altogether.

At Turks and Caicos you can:

• Find luxury, all-inclusive resort locations

• Go diving or snorkeling with the help of real underwater professionals

• Take a boat out for some whale watching

• And more…

Turks and Caicos features a number of National parks and historical landmarks, with open-air shopping and fine dining to round out each and very special day on the island.

Whether you’re planning to travel to Bermuda, Turks and Caicos or both, you can be sure that these exotic locations are still virtually untouched by man and nature, offering wondrous things to see and plenty to do while you’re there.
