Virgin Gorda Escape. Relax. Enjoy. These are all the things we want in a vacation, and a tropical paradise checks off everything on our must-have lists. From the Caribbean to California, explore the best of what these islands have to offer, including specialty drinks, luxury resorts, culture, and cuisine. Take a trip to the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, where the water is entirely clear and the granite formations seem like meticulously-placed statues. Or, head to Santa Catalina Island, off the coast of California, for an escape that isn’t too far from home. If you’re looking for a unique destination, try the Commonwealth of Dominica, which is not affiliated with the Dominican Re- public. No matter what kind of island feel you’re searching for, these oases have got you covered!
