Why you should go: Sandy beaches, dense rainforest, snorkeling and sunset drinks — St. Kitts has everything we love about the Caribbean. Park yourself at one of the most sprawling resorts on the island, where on-site amenities include a private beach, lagoon-style pool and 18-hole championship golf course. There are also 10 restaurants and bars to choose from, and you can always stroll to the village or drive a few minutes to Frigate Bay for additional dining and entertainment options.

What’s the big deal? Save up to 55% on four-night stays during peak winter season at the 4-star St. Kitts Marriott. Prefer to go this year? Last-minute 2022 stays are up to 40% off. Top it all off with a $50 resort credit ($100 if you stay seven nights).

Travelzoo tip: Originally built in the '20s for hauling sugar cane, the coastline-hugging, double-decker St. Kitts Scenic Railway is a fun (if a bit heart-stopping at moments) way to see the island — especially with a rum punch or frozen daiquiri in hand.
