Pandemic-weary travelers aren t the only ones heading to the Caribbean these days. Magnificent sea turtles travel thousands of miles to return each year to the beaches on which they were born.
There, they lay the next generation of sea turtles that will one day make the same journey.
The most common of the turtle species who make the long trek to the Caribbean are the leatherback, hawksbill, green and loggerhead turtles. Nests, called clutches, are fenced off as protected sites until hatchlings arrive within 55 to 75 days.

Is there anything dreamier than staying in an overwater bungalow? Picture it, you’re lying in a plush bed, listening to waves lap below your room as you watch a dolphin jump on the horizon. To cool off, you merely have to slip into the water from your private deck or take a dip in the plunge pool. Seriously, who’s going to say “no” to that kind of holiday?
Luckily, the world is filled with overwater villas so gorgeous, they’ll take your breath away and replace it with a sigh of utter relaxation. Whether you’re looking for an adults-only resort where you can eat a floating breakfast in your pool, or a family-friendly retreat where kids can press their faces against a glass floor to watch fish swim by, there are plenty of overwater bungalow resorts that will turn your holiday into an unforgettable escape.

The last year has brought challenges and changes to the travel landscape, particularly luxury, but the concerted efforts and solution-oriented approach that the Caribbean region executed has been incredibly impactful and dynamic as we look ahead, together.
While each island nation has developed unique protocols and strategies to help maintain a healthy and safe lifestyle, the collective region has had a consistency in messaging that can and should be directly linked back to the recent growth in inquiries, web visits and bookings. At The Hartling Group, we already have seen a number of sold out weeks in 2021 and a promising forecast for the summer and fall ahead, a welcome change from 2020 and a positive outlook in travel trends moving forward.
