We’ve ranked the best islands in the Caribbean, based on the costs of hotel bookings and the range of activities they offer

The Caribbean islands are beloved for their adventurous activities, clear waters, and stunning natural sites.

Though each island has its own unique appeal, some have advantages over the others.

To rank the islands, we factored in each one’s average hotel-room costs using data from Hotels.com, the number of attractions listed on TripAdvisor, and the amount of coastline offered per square kilometre.
