altEating and drinking on Antigua is as varied as the coastline of this lovely little island. From Lonely Planet Caribbean Islands

 On Antigua, life is a beach. It may seem like a cliché, but this improbably-shaped splotch of land is ringed with beaches of the finest white sand, made all the more dramatic by the azure waters, which are so clear they’ll bring a tear to your eye or a giggle to your holiday-hungry throat.

altRoderick Easdale explores a trio of top Caribbean golf courses that have their own strong family connections

Dorado Beach, Puerto Rico

Dorado Beach has four courses, all originally designed by Robert Trent Jones senior. In 1958 the West course and the East course launched the Dorado Beach resort. Both were nine-holers, subsequently expanded to 18 holes by the original architect who also added a tropical forest, fruit trees and a lagoon. Later the resort expanded across the highway, and with this came two more 18-hole tracks, the Pineapple and Sugarcane, and the introduction of the Plantation Club.

altNestled amid the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, Anguilla has an awful lot to offer visitors. From the historic riches of the Arawak Indians, to British and French influences, there is lots to see and do. Once you’ve tired yourself out, what better way to rejuvenate than at Venus Spa, which, according to the Conde Nast Spa Awards 2011, is one of the top spas in the world.

altWith its rich local culture and sophisticated visitors, it’s no wonder Barbados has developed a cosmopolitan approach to food.

From the beginning of time, people have been searching for the elixir of youth. Barbados may not have a potion for eternal life but it has all the ingredients for a long and healthy one, as a significant number of Barbadians live to be well over 100 years old.

Eating yams and sweet potato, known as ‘ground provisions’, is given by locals as the reason for this longevity, but who can beat a diet of fresh fish caught daily - flying fish, barracuda, mahi mahi and king fish are all caught in the seas around the island.

altGolf expert Roderick Easdale shares his favourite courses on Jamaica, Nevis and Bermuda

White Witch, Rose Hall, Jamaica


Arnie Palmer may be a leading figure in the golf world, but in this part of the Caribbean it is Annie Palmer who is commemorated. This cruel mistress of the 19th-century Rose Hall plantation was famed for her voodoo powers and for murdering many people, including three husbands. She is said to haunt the site to this day. The White Witch course on the estate of the 427-bedrooom Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall now inhabits this plot of land and is named after her.

Like its namesake, this course is a renowned beauty with ocean views from 16 of its holes. Robert von   Hagge laid it out with tumbling fairways and intimidating carries.    The 10th hole may play 621 yards from the tips, but the total length is only a touch over 6,700 yards. The unpredictable winds can make this layout a daunting challenge – but it will never be as fearsome as the real White Witch. And, unlike Annie, the course is sympathetic to family members – after 10am a child playing with an adult plays for free.
