The 7000 Caribbean Islands are true jewels in the crown of the West Indies. The climate is tropical with cool trade winds ever present and inland many islands feature rainforests, blue lagoons, and mountainous peaks.
The turquoise surrounding seas and coral reefs abound with schools of tropical fish and turtles. The islands support exceptionally diverse ecosystems ranging from cloud forests to cactus scrub land.
Historically the islands were divided into the following groups: British West Indies, Danish West Indies, Dutch West Indies, French West Indies, Portuguese West Indies, Spanish West Indies, Swedish West Indies and Courlander West Indies.
Today the islands attract tourists and property buyers in large numbers and are famous for being the best year round tropical holiday destinations in the world. Most of the larger islands offer five star luxury resorts and exclusive properties and Villas.
