Pine Cay, Turks & Caicos — Hotel Review
Pine Cay doesn't rely on flashy amenities—it doesn't have to. This private island in Turks and Caicos boasts some of Earth's most extraordinary beaches, with sandbars that stretch for miles across luminous shallows, making it feel as if you're walking on water. Simple, beach-chic rooms with blonde wood finishes and screened-in porches keep Caribbean blues always in view, while each unit comes with its own private beach tiki—no loungers to fight over here. The vibe is pure digital detox: no TVs, limited cell service, and a pace that shifts with the tides. Daily guided activities introduce visitors to the island's best, both on land and under the sea, but more intrepid types can grab an island map and find their own way to its natural treasures. Depending on the season, expect flamingo sightings, mating glowworms illuminating the waters, and languid mornings in the 'aquarium,' a placid lagoon perfect for kayaking and snorkeling among rays and sea turtles. Preserved by resident homeowners and painted in ever-changing colors, Pine Cay feels less like a vacation—and more like a secret you'll never want to share.

Platja de Sa Riera — Beach Review
Give us the wide-angle view: what kind of beach are we talking about? Sa Riera strikes that rare balance between civilization and isolation. The main dollop of sand provides everything a beach vacation demands: water suited to both tentative toe-dips and hearty plunges, a decent provision of speed-fueled water sports, and enough café terraces to tick off cravings for carbs, ice cream and crisp cervezas. Yet venture a few minutes north along the Camí de Ronda coastal path, and you'll find a wilder, less formulaic proposition. The heavy perfume of sun-baked pines gives way to clifftop drama: The daredevil spectacle of locals launching themselves into the sea from the giant rocky island of Illa Roja. Dare you watch? How accessible is it? There's roadside car-parking, an over-sand boardwalk, and a lovely flat gradient. Decent services and facilities, would you say? Want and you will find: be it showers, toilets, beach bars, jet skis, or sun-lounger hire. In high season, an assisted bathing service is offered, including an amphibious chair. How's the actual beach stuff—sand and surf? Peaceful and genteel—until your husband hires a jet ski. Can we go barefoot? The sand is golden, albeit a touch gritty, but nothing a flip-flop can't handle. If you plan to venture along the cliff path and scale the rocky steps down to quieter bays, bring sneakers. Anything special we should look for? It's not only the beach and bathing that put Sa Riera on the map. In spring 2025, the team behind Barcelona's five-star Majestic Hotel unveiled a coastal sibling just 10 minutes' stroll from the shore. Once an aristocratic family home, Finca Victoria taps into the breezy spirit of a 1960s Catalan beach house—then layers on the luxuries. There's a pool with cabanas, suites with outdoor showers, and live-fire cooking from Jordi Vilà, the two-Michelin-starred chef at Barcelona's Alkimia. It's one hell of a launch for the area, and quite possibly a launchpad for more to come. If we're thinking about going, what—and who—is this beach best for? Sa Riera is a family-friendly beach in Gemini form. Once you've completed the checklist of speed boats, seafood platters, and navigating sunbathers' limbs, slip up onto the coastal path to find its quieter, wilder alter ego.

How to spend the perfect day in Cartagena, the Colombian city with a Caribbean heart
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). Cartagena — a lively city on Colombia's northern Caribbean coast — has always moved to the rhythm of its own drum. It's where the jaunty beats of cumbia music fill a UNESCO-stamped historical quarter, where innovative cocktail bars and trendy coffeeshops are never too far away and where some of Latin America's most talented chefs use indigenous ingredients to create exquisite Colombian-Caribbean dishes. Throw in ample green space and a live music scene that lasts until the early hours, and you have a fun city break that'll please all the senses. 9am: Fuel up with caffeine There's only one way to start the day in Cartagena: with coffee. At Epoca, an all-day artisanal cafe in Centro Histórico, take a seat by the window and order one of the specialty coffees. Go for local favourite Colonia Coco, grown in the country's Andean region, which has notes of coconut, butter and chocolate. The food menu ranges from the classic arepa de huevo to waffles coated in hollandaise sauce with ham and bacon salt. 11am: Admire arts and crafts Duck into the Museo de Arte Moderno on Plaza de San Pedro Claver — part of the 17th-century former Royal Customs House — to see works by artists from across Colombia and Latin America. Spend an hour here before heading to the nearby Ajá Company; it's a great spot to buy artisanal products, such as handbags made using natural fibres and raw materials. 1.30pm: Have an elevated lunch Jaime Rodriguez creates exquisite contemporary Caribbean dishes at Celele, an upscale restaurant in the neighbourhood of Getsemani. The menu features dishes including buffalo-milk burrata with moringa-plant sorbet and roasted watermelon, and flower salad with pickled cashews. The interior is an eccentric mix of exposed brick and gargantuan murals depicting the people and wildlife of Colombia. 3pm: Get to know Getsemani Mural-swathed Getsemani brims with bars, restaurants and a mishmash of both low-budget and luxury hotels. Yet it's still very much local — the sort of place where Cartageneros sip rum roadside while blasting out African-influenced beats. To explore the area with a snack, book a tour with Foodies. Highlights include popping into a local home to try arepas de huevos and chicha de maíz (a local corn drink). Find dishes like sunflower petals and plum tree leaves in a broth of lemon juice and fish bone at Celele, a contemporary Caribbean restaurant run by chef Jaime Rodriguez. Photograph by Karolina Wiercigroch 6pm: Explore parks and squares Ambling the city's squares and green spaces is a great way to while away the early evening. In Getsemani, Plaza de la Trinidad is home to street music, fast-food vendors and locals sitting kerb-side with a drink. A short walk towards Plaza de los Coches, a lively square just outside the old city walls, will take you through wildlife-rich Parque del Centenario, home to monkeys, sloths and tropical birds. 7.30pm: Dine like a local La Laguna Azul in Getsemani is part restaurant, part liquor shop, and has a mostly Colombian clientele. Start the night in the leafy courtyard and enjoy the live music with a Cartagena Mangle, a local pale ale. Order the ceviche levanta muerto, meaning 'ceviche to raise the dead', with prawns, calamari and octopus served in a fiery bloody mary sauce. Calle de la Media Luna 8 9pm: Listen to live music Café Havana in Getsemani draws crowds with salsa tunes from local stars like Joe Arroyo and a live band that kicks off around 10pm. It can get crowded, so it's best to book a table ahead of time. For something a little more mellow, head to cosy Mientras — a bar and art gallery in Centro Histórico — which has a good mix of drinks, desserts and local DJ sets. 11pm: Sample more nightlife El Barón on Plaza de San Pedro Claver is the ideal cosy, late-night spot for wine, beer or a well-crafted cocktail. It has two indoor spaces as well as a huge courtyard right opposite San Pedro Claver church. There's a menu of Cuban and Colombian rums and cigars, too. Come nightfall, it hosts regular DJ sets from local artists spinning cumbia, hip-hop and disco. Getting there & around Avianca flies from London to Cartagena via Bogotá. Average flight time: Centro Histórico and Getsemani neighbourhoods are a short distance from each other, and easy to explore on foot. For places further afield, taxis or Uber are by far the quickest and most convenient mode of transport. The modern bus system, TransCaribe, operates across the city; cash isn't accepted on board so you must have a pre-purchased card to ride. A single journey costs COP$3,000 (56p). When to go Cartagena has a tropical climate. The best time to visit is during the dry season between December and April, when there is little rainfall and temperatures are pleasantly warm, averaging around 27C. August to the end of November are considered the wettest months, resulting in cheaper hotel and flight prices. Where to stay Hotel Caribe Cartagena. Rooms from COP$687,480 (£128), B&B. Sofitel Santa Clara. Rooms from COP$1,570,544 (£294), B&B. More info The Rough Guide to Colombia, £15.99. How to do it: Journey Latin America has a 15-day highlights trip, with three nights in Cartagena, starting from £4,600 per person. It includes international and domestic flights, transfers, excursions and good-quality hotels on a B&B basis. This story was created with the support of Journey Latin America.

This Popular Caribbean Getaway Just Got an Updated Travel Advisory—What Travelers Should Know
A popular vacation getaway has an updated travel advisory by the U.S. government. The United States Department of State recently updated its advisory for travel to the Dominican Republic, which is currently at a Level 2, or 'exercise increased caution.' 'Violent crime is a concern in the Dominican Republic despite more police presence in areas often visited by tourists,' the United States Department of State travel advisory says. 'Do not display wealth and be wary of meeting individuals online in secluded locations.' The advisory was updated on June 12, and was last modified nearly a year ago on June 18, 2024. The agency encourages travelers to consider that robbery, homicide, and other crimes are a concern throughout the country. For safety tips, the agency recommends maintaining close awareness of surroundings, and not resist a robbery. "Be vigilant about where your phone is and avoid using it openly on the street,' the advisory recommends. The Level 2 advisory is a mid-level advisory, but below the Level 3 of "reconsider travel" and Level 4 "do not travel." The U.S. travel advisory tiers, issued by the Department of State, has four levels:Level 1 (Exercise Normal Precautions)Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution)Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) Level 4 (Do Not Travel) International travelers can enroll for free in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program, also known as STEP. The program helps register a United States citizen's international travel, and can provide timely and important information about the destination throughout the trip. Best of all, the program is free and can help increase safety when traveling. The agency frequently updates its advisories based on current affairs, and this includes increasing and decreasing levels. Most recently, it updated its advisory for Jamaica, which was reduced from a Level 3 to a Level 2. "Use your best judgement to avoid unsafe situations," the U.S. State Department advises travelers. "Think ahead and come up with a safety plan to deal with unsafe situations, in the event you end up in one." Other helpful tips include carrying a safety whistle, monitoring their beverages, and avoiding meeting strangers.
