The first snowfall of the year can be magical, but scraping ice from your windshield, waiting for snowplows, and piling on layers of clothing can quickly get tiresome.

If basking on a white sand beach sounds more appealing than hauling ski gear up an icy mountain, the Caribbean beckons for your next vacation.

SOMETHING FOR SOMETHING FOR EVERY FAMILY EVERY FAMILY

MEMBERMEMBERThe Caribbean is an ideal vacation destination for families, with plenty of activities for family members of every age.

From treasure hunts and coconut bowling for young kids to snorkeling and hiking treks for the whole family, the resorts in the Caribbean have family vacations down to a science.

We’ve highlighted some of the best vacation destinations in the Caribbean for fun-filled, restorative getaways.

The home of reggae music and jerk chicken, Jamaica has a style and culture all its own (and gorgeous resorts, to boot).

The all-inclusive Franklyn D. Resort hotel sits on a small cove with easy access to calm waters, and the hotel gives parents a break with private nannies to look after kids during the day.

For the adventurous, parents and kids alike will love Mayfield Falls. Spot tropical birds on the trek through lush rainforest, and enjoy two waterfalls and natural pools at the top.

Saint Lucia features plenty of family-friendly resorts, with babysitting services and loads of activities for energetic kids.

See bubbling pools and hissing vents, or take a soak in therapeutic streams at Saint Lucia’s Sulfur Springs Park. Mount Soufrière is the most active geothermal area in the region, and features “drive-thru” volcanoes that can be seen from the roadside.

Adults will love the Diamond Falls section of Soufrière Estate, featuring mineral hot springs, manicured gardens, and a beautiful waterfall colored by mineral deposits.

At just 55 miles off the Florida coast, the Bahamas are one of the most accessible island chains for U.S. residents.

There are plenty of activities and attractions to keep the whole family entertained.

Atlantis Resort in Nassau (Paradise Island) features a club just for kids with a Lego construction room, water park, and walk-in dollhouse, among other features. Parents can take advantage of the babysitting services offered by the resort and hit the golf course or the spa during the day.

Travelers looking for the best of the best will marvel at the beauty of The St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort in Puerto Rico.

With a secluded beach exclusively for visitors and a variety of activities like tennis, hiking, fishing, paddle boarding, and kayaking, there is something for every family member.

Must-do side trips include a visit to the historic Fort in Old San Juan. Kids age 5+ earn a badge when they join a ranger-led tour. The El Yunque rainforest is another must-see—spot parrots and the famous coqui frogs of the island on one of the many family-friendly trails.

Gorgeous white sand beaches and clear blue waters await in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Like Puerto Rico, U.S. residents don’t need a passport to visit the Virgin Islands.

Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort on St. Thomas has plenty to offer kids, including an oceanfront pool and a club where kids can sit in on story time about seafaring pirates.

Coral World Ocean Park in St. Thomas is another great outing for kids; they’ll love feeding the stingrays and having a sea-lion encounter.

Fighting your way through crowds at a hectic airport is no way to start a relaxing vacation. Opt instead for a luxury charter flight to the Caribbean.

Flightpath’s growing fleet now includes a Challenger 601 private jet available for charters to the Caribbean.

This aircraft’s luxurious amenities coupled with Flightpath’s impeccable service will make for a most memorable trip.
