Break up your beach-centric vacation with a hike up to the highest point in the British and US Virgin Islands. Soaring to a magnificent 1,716 feet, Sage Mountain is considered a hiker’s paradise complete with majestic overlooks and an old growth forest that has remained untouched for over 500 years. BVI’s first national park, Sage Mountain was established in 1964 thanks to Laurence Rockefeller, who purchased 86 acres from farmers and donated the land to the government. Large boulders and lush rainforest on the north side are in stark contrast to the old pastures on the south.

A mere five miles separates the anchorage at Bequia from Mustique, the tiny, privately-owned island that attracts the world’s elite with its inimitable combination of simplicity, comfort and barefoot sophistication. The catamaran captain welcomes you aboard a catamaran for a leisurely sail to Mustique. The route takes you past both the historic whaling station on the islet of Petit Nevis as well as the unusual homes of Moonhole, set amid the rock formations and natural arches of a private sanctuary on the far western tip of Bequia.

Experience the beauty of the Bequia’s coastline and surrounding islets on a scenic sail, with a stop for snorkeling. As the catamaran glides out of the protected natural harbor of Admiralty Bay, the wind typically picks up. You’ll sail past white-sand beaches and verdant hills en route to Bequia’s westernmost point. There the private eco-sanctuary of Moonhole is a striking sight, its collection of homes built into the hillsides and around trees and natural rock formations.

A lovely drive through the town of Soufrière drops you at the village of Fond Gens Libre, or Valley of the Freed People, a gateway to the Gros Piton Nature Trail. On your hike up Gros Piton — one of St. Lucia's most photographed landmarks and a UNESCO World Heritage site — you’ll pass several caves and lookout points with spectacular views of the island and sea. The nature trail weaves through three different ecosystems, including a rainforest that presents you with a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Your adventure on the mountain continues at Ladera Resort.

Start your day with a scenic drive through the towns of Soufrière and Choiseul to Balenbouche Estate. You are greeted with refreshments and an introduction to this 200-year-old, 75-acre property where you’ll spend the day pampering yourself. Feel stress melt away on a barefoot walk through the gardens that stimulates the pressure points on your feet. Take a restorative yoga class that incorporates a mindful flow of asanas, breath work and guided meditation. Discover the nourishing and healing benefits of enzyme-rich raw cuisine as you sample fresh seasonal fruit.

A helicopter flight reveals the dramatic beauty of the mountainous interior and stunning seascapes of St. Lucia like no other tour can. It’s a short drive from the dock in Castries to the helipad where your pilot is waiting. The flightseeing tour takes you over the harbor then down the west coast, with its many sheltered bays and hidden coves. Rising in the distance are the landmark Pitons, the towering volcanic spires that rise abruptly from the waters of the Caribbean.

Almost as soon as the Yachtsman Grill opened, the restaurant had earned a reputation for delicious food, excellent service and a welcoming, relaxing ambience enhanced by its beachfront setting. The chef blends local flavors and international cuisine, as you’ll discover while enjoying a special five-course menu of island-inspired canapes with cocktail pairings. Instead of driving, you’ll travel from the yacht by zodiac, disembarking at the pier at the Hamilton Beach Villas and Spa.

Hike more than halfway up the volcano that dominates the tiny island of Nevis via a trail that winds through the lush canopy of the lower slopes. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to varieties of native and other plants -- bamboo, fruit trees and ferns among them – that thrive in the rainforest that is often enveloped in clouds. Your destination is a panoramic lookout at about 1,700 feet. On clear days, the view from here is especially spectacular, extending out to the islands of Montserrat, Antigua and Redonda.
