This week, TravelSmart is all about marking those big moments – from weddings to birthdays – in the incredible region that is the Caribbean.

Independent Travel explores a place where music, culture and good times can be found against the backdrop of sun-drenched beaches and turquoise waters. If you're newlyweds on a honeymoon or marking years of marriage, nowhere does tropical romance like these islands, and we share the best ways to indulge, whether you're looking for adventure or pure relaxation.

If it's a landmark break with the family, let us guide you through the beaches and activities that will make a holiday memorable. And for a celebration like no other, learn more about Caribbean Carnival.
