Trinidad’s Carnival grips the island with an energy unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel it: the beat of the soca music vibrating through your body, the infectious joy of the people around you, and the overwhelming sense of freedom that comes with immersing yourself in the spectacle.

Imagine this: The sun is setting on The Inn of The Five Graces, a 5-star Relais & Châteaux property in Santa Fe. A luxury SUV chauffeurs an intimate group of up to 14 guests from the hotel to Chaco Culture National Historic Park, a designated International Dark Sky Place.

The global wellness economy is predicted to be worth $9 trillion by 2028, according to the Global Wellness Institute. That’s big business — and the Caribbean is well-positioned to meet the demand, with an ever-growing range of services designed to satisfy diverse definitions of the concept.

Have you heard of glimmers? The term posits that small, positive thoughts can bring a jolt of safety and calm to the nervous system. In contrast to “triggers,” glimmers are micro-moments of joy, connection, and presence that can be found in the everyday – something many of us naturally find while traveling.
Now glimmers are being intentionally cultivated at hotels and resorts across the globe, from Costa Rica to Italy. Here are a few below that are personal to me.

While the Caribbean is home to a wealth of wildlife-rich islands, few destinations offer such a fascinating blend of biodiversity as Trinidad. Located just off the coast of Venezuela, this storied island comes equipped with a truly diverse array of native species, with both Caribbean and mainland South American wildlife thriving across its borders—and for a thorough immersion into the vibrant fauna of Trinidad, it’s tough to find a better destination than Asa Wright Nature Centre.

Sitting just off the coast of Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago offer two distinct personalities in one nation. Trinidad, the larger island, pulses with energy: Port of Spain’s steelpan rhythms and soca beats crescendo during Carnival, the country’s world‑famous pre‑Lenten festival. Away from the city, Trinidad shelters a surprising diversity of wildlife, from scarlet ibis in the mangrove wetlands to howler monkeys in the Northern Range. Tobago, meanwhile, exudes a languid charm with palm‑fringed beaches, coral reefs teeming with marine life and a rainforest reserve protected since 1776. Together they invite you to dance, eat spicy street food, watch giant leatherback turtles nesting, dive rainbow reefs and hike to hidden waterfalls — all on the same holiday.

For some vacationers, a night out in the Caribbean means a nice dinner or bar-hopping. More curious types, however, can find an array of after-dark activities that take in the region’s natural beauty, as well as the wonders of the skies above.

As traveler demand shifts from flashy amenities to authentic, sustainable encounters, hotels that embed immersive, niche experiences like bird‑watching or turtle‑nesting into their offerings are gaining a clear competitive edge. In a hospitality landscape dominated by uniform luxury, Trinidad & Tobago stands out – not as a hidden gem, but as a deeply resonant stage for slowing down in nature.

Hurricane season in the Caribbean runs from June through November, but that doesn’t mean you need to skip a tropical getaway. Several islands lie safely outside the main hurricane belt, while others see minimal impact and are well-prepared with strong infrastructure. Fall travelers are rewarded with quieter beaches, lower hotel rates, and landscapes at their greenest. From spice plantations in Grenada to diving in Bonaire, these are the best Caribbean islands to visit in hurricane season — and they’re worth exploring year-round.

The Asa Wright Nature Center is famous for its birds (there are over 180 species of birds around the 1,500-acre property), and though I wouldn’t consider myself a bird-watching enthusiast, it was hard not to get sucked into the excitement of having an up-close encounter. One of my first finds was a toucan; the eco-lodge manager, Warren, pointed out a tiny speck on a branch and handed me a pair of binoculars. I was skeptical, but when I raised the binoculars, I was surprised to see a brightly painted bill come into focus. Birdwatchers, I get it now; there’s something a little bit magical about spotting birds in their natural habitat.
