Everyone knows where the Caribbean islands are - in the tropics, between the North and South America... Cuba is closer to the United States, so the sun is not so hot here, and cool cyclones come from the north at times. It turns out that because of the more pleasant weather, holidays in Cuba are easier for those who do not like the heat. But due to the rapid development of industry, the air and water here are not very clean, but nature and the ocean are incredibly beautiful.

The Dominican Republic has a very active sun and a completely unpredictable climate - clear days are easily replaced by showers, and vice versa. The rainy season in the Caribbean lasts from May to October, but warm tropical showers last for 15 minutes, bringing relief to vacationers, nevertheless, the air temperature in the summer months here reaches + 35 ° C.

Hurricane season lasts from August to October, and during this time many hotels and restaurants even close.

Oleg Yarovoy

Travel agency manager

“The holiday season in the Caribbean starts in December and lasts until the end of April. At this time, there is a very comfortable climate and optimal humidity, there are no rains and hurricanes, therefore, prices in hotels are 20-50% higher than in the summer. High season are New Year, Christmas and February carnival. The holiday season in Cuba and the Dominican Republic is approximately the same by months. The most budget holiday is in May, since the rainy season has not yet begun, but prices have already dropped. "

Cuba and the Dominican Republic: a few differences

If you like a comfortable and relaxing holiday with a high level of service and you have an unlimited budget, go to the Dominican Republic. This country has a very developed tourism industry, which, combined with a high economic level, creates a special atmosphere of luxury that is so attractive to many tourists. Naturally, prices are much higher here. But this money justifies itself, because you will live in comfortable hotels with well-trained staff, surrounded by incredibly beautiful landscapes, you will always have spas, gourmet restaurants and marine entertainment at your service. On the pristine Dominican beaches, there are many cozy lagoons where you can retire for romance or meditation. In the Dominican Republic, most attractions are natural sites... For example, Bounty Island with white sand and the purest waterand many others picturesque islands, national parks, waterfalls and mountains.

Cuba is a socialist country, you will not find luxury and high service here. On the other hand, the prices are quite budgetary. The spirit of the USSR during the 1980s reigns in the country, so if you are interested in an unusual and colorful Cuban history, a trip to the Island of Freedom will definitely interest you. Soviet cars drive through the streets of Havana, many shops resemble pre-perestroika department stores, and socialist posters hang on the walls of houses. All this revolutionary entourage combined with beautiful nature and fiery Latin American dances is a real exotic. Cuba is a party place where fun always reigns, and there are many fiery festivals, such as the Havana Rum Festival.

Cuban beaches are clean and picturesque, and they also have less algae compared to the Dominican coast. In both countries, they feed well in cafes and restaurants and treat little tourists with warmth.

The most striking sights of Cuba

If you find yourself in Havana, be sure to visit Plaza Vieja - the Old Square with the Arab market located on it - and admire the ancient architecture of the 18th century. Sit on the Malecon in the evening, watching old men with fishing rods, listening to the sound of the surf and salsa melodies. Check out the famous Bodeguita del Medio bar, where Hemingway, Marquez and Fidel Castro have been. Here you can smoke a cigar, taste Cuban rum and see unusual photographs on the walls that tell about the history of Cuba.

Off the southern coast of the island is the Jardines de la Reina archipelago, the third largest coral reef in the world, where people come to go diving and see sea turtles.

Popular attractions in Cuba include the preserved Hemingway House Museum, one of the largest cemeteries in America with more than 500 beautiful sculptures, monuments and memorials, and the Havana Club Rum Museum, where you can learn about the history of the legendary drink and buy a bottle of real rum.

Cuba is also a sugar cane plantation, where excursions are constantly organized, while tourists are additionally taken to sugar factories and to the sugar cane juice production workshop with a drink tasting. Also check out the Tropicana show, which takes place in the Botanical Garden under the stars. Salsa, rumba, cha-cha-cha, bright costumes, laughter, sunny beaches, warm ocean, rum, cigars - this is a vacation in Cuba!

Rest in the Dominican Republic: what you must see

One of best areas in the Dominican Republic - Punta Cana, where the most picturesque beaches, luxury hotels and huge golf courses are located. Samana Province is famous for its tropical forests, national parks, coconut groves and cozy little beaches, many of which tourists don't know about. Here humpback whales swim up to the shores, and special sea excursions are organized for daredevils who want to swim with whales. Park "Nacional del Este" is interesting for coral reefs, rich marine flora and fauna, rare birds, tropical forests, beaches and rock carvings of the indigenous inhabitants of the Caribbean.

Also, be sure to take a walk in the Colonial Zone - this is the old district of Santo Domingo with cobblestone pavements, old buildings in pastel colors and cozy family coffee shops. Visit the fishing village of Saona Island, relax on the very beautiful beach planets - Baia de las Aguilas, reachable only by boat, and swim in the Damayakua Falls on the hills of the Northern Corridor.

In addition, excursions are organized from the capital of the Dominican Republic to Constanta - in the mountains with green forests and statues left over from ancient civilization, trips to Lake Enriquillo, home to crocodiles and iguanas, and the deserted Paradise Island and Mangroves, where you can go diving or fishing. By the way, the caught fish will be cooked right there in front of you in the fishing cafe.

Beach holidays in the Dominican Republic, sea activities, luxurious restaurants and romantic walks on the ocean bring joy and peace. Tourists who have visited the Caribbean claim that if there is a heaven on earth, then it is here, in the Dominican Republic ...

What to bring from Cuba

“Leaving the Caribbean islands, I want to take with me a piece of this heavenly happiness, so the question of souvenirs arises,” the inveterate traveler Oksana Lyutova shares her experience. - And here I immediately want to say about one important thing. Souvenirs bought in the Caribbean must have an export license, so they need to be purchased either in large shopping centers or in specialized stores at hotels. Otherwise, you will have to part with these wonderful things at customs. "

Cigars and rum are usually brought from Cuba; the Havana Club brand of rum is especially popular, many varieties of which have been aged for 25 years. Remember that you can take out no more than two liters of a drink and no more than 50 cigars per person. Jewelry made from black coral is highly prized, as this stone, according to Cubans, has magical properties. However, when buying on the market, gullible tourists are sometimes sold instead of coral a corallino stone similar to it or an artificial fake. Remember that natural coral shimmers in red when exposed to light.
Cuba produces good natural cosmetics, food additives from shark cartilage and sugar cane, high-quality coffee, spices and delicious marmalade from exotic fruits. And from Cuba, they usually bring original musical instruments, sombrero and images of Che Guevara.

Traditionally, in winter, many ultra-highnets go to rest and travel to the Caribbean, bask in their own or rented villas and yachts. But over the past couple of years, when the question of a second passport has become more and more popular (according to The Wealth report, 39% of Russian ultra-hinets have one, and this figure only increases every year).

Wealthy people with net assets of at least $ 30 million are called ultra-highnets.

The demand for Caribbean passport programs has also grown significantly. So, according to Knight Frank, this winter the number of requests for the purchase of real estate in the Caribbean has doubled. The entrance threshold, compared to other programs, is not high here, starting at $ 100,000, and passports provide a huge number of advantages for the owner and his family.

Marina Shalaeva, Director of Overseas Real Estate at Knight Frank, spoke about the most popular immigration programs and islands for recreation and yachting. Usually, the purchase of real estate on exotic islands occurs when a person already has a lot, if not all: a dacha on Rublevka, and a villa on French Riviera, and an apartment in London. This is at least the fifth property.

A villa in Barbados or an apartment in the Dominican Republic is mainly a purchase for recreation and hobbies, however, due to immigration programs and investment prospects, more and more real estate is bought here for investment (and not only ultra-highnets).

Investors expect attractive returns from rental business: the tourist flow to the islands is about 46 million people per year, while the rental price can reach over $ 18 thousand per week of residence, and citizenship programs for real estate investments provide an opportunity visa-free entry to the Schengen countries, Great Britain, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Based on requests from ultra-wealthy clients, we have identified the top 5 most popular locations in the Caribbean, where the main demand of wealthy Russians is concentrated.

Saint Kitts and Nevis

A state consisting of two federation islands. The capital - Basseterre - is located on the island of Saint Kitts, where the bulk of the population lives. This location attracts diving enthusiasts: there are about 400 sunken ships near the islands. The island has many interesting vacation options: from sports complexes, golf courses, tennis, riding club, new marina and everything you need for yachting and surfing to SPA programs in hotels and authentic restaurants. Numerous excursion routes, on Nevis, plantations and ancient architecture are especially popular with tourists.

Saint Kitts and Nevis also has a lucrative passport program - the oldest in the Caribbean - which can be achieved through the purchase of real estate on the islands. The price per square meter on the island of Saint Kitts varies in the range from 3.5 to 4 thousand dollars. The minimum investment threshold is 200 thousand dollars, and the investor has the right to sell real estate after seven years of ownership. Basically, in this budget, rooms are purchased in five-star hotels, which are subsequently managed and rented with a yield of 3-4%. As a rule, investors buy objects here exclusively for participation in the program, and they themselves rarely have a rest, since it is not very convenient to get there. For the more sophisticated, here you can buy luxurious villas with a budget of $ 1.5 to 10 million and leave for the winter. After all, this is one of the most beautiful islands in the world.

Saint Kitts and Nevis is also the leader in the number of visa-free travel countries - 154 countries, including the Schengen countries and the UK.

Barbados

The island of Barbados is located in the eastern part of the Caribbean. The most popular beach of the island - Accra Beach on the south coast - has been chosen by fans of outdoor activities. Here you can swim with turtles, dive to coral reefs, go kayaking, surfing or windsurfing. For more quiet rest with children, the Hasting Rocks coast is suitable. At the end of November, the Barbados Food and Rum Festival is held here, where it is worth tasting the dishes local cuisine... Large-scale celebrations also take place on Barbados Independence Day - November 30. On this day, all buildings of the city are magnificently decorated, a military parade is held and various fairs are organized.

Real estate prices in Barbados are quite democratic: the cost per square meter on the island is about $ 2.2-2.5 thousand. Our buyers consider both small houses by the sea with an area of \u200b\u200b170 sq m and luxurious villas with an area of \u200b\u200b1.8 thousand sq m.The prices of villas on the first line of the sea start at $ 3 million, and at a distance from the sea in less prestigious areas you can buy house from 325 thousand dollars. Prices for small apartments of 45 sq. m start at 175 thousand dollars.

Saint Lucia

Saint Lucia is a haven for a restful and relaxing holiday. It has everything: from cozy little beaches and bays to colorful wildlife rainforest. Fans of outdoor activities can climb the volcano and swim in a natural spring with a waterfall. The entertainment infrastructure is also developed here - there are kayaks and catamarans, you can go snorkeling and windsurfing. SPA centers are open in many hotels. In November, the island hosts the main yachting regatta of the season, the Atlantic Cruising Rally. The race track runs from Gran Canaria to Canary Islands to Rodney Bay Marina in St. Lucia.

Saint Lucia is not only an excellent location for yachting and recreation, but also an attractive investment destination. Saint Lucia's passport program is one of the most popular in the Caribbean: an investor needs to purchase a property worth $ 300,000, as well as pay an administrative fee of $ 50,000. It can be like a luxury holiday villa (the cost of exclusive properties can be up to $ 35 million), but generally the price of objects ranges from $ 500,000 to $ 10 million. More than 60% of buyers of real estate in St. Lucia are British, but we receive requests for this location from Russian ultra-highnets who want to be in seclusion and without compatriots.

Under the passport program, they mainly buy apartments under management, which are then rented out to tourists.

Saint Lucia citizenship allows visa-free travel to 145 countries, including the Schengen countries, the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore. The tax system in Saint Lucia is very “lenient”: there are no taxes on luxury, gift or inheritance, as well as taxes on assets outside the country.

Dominica

Dominica is a state in the Caribbean, located on the island of the same name. Dominica is the largest of the Windward Islands and is famous for its hot springs and beautiful nature. This is a great location for diving and underwater photography, and the Northern Forest Park is home to many exotic birds.

One of the most notable options for purchasing real estate on the island is the first resort of Dominica - Cabrits Resort Kempinski... The resort is located in the northwest of the island on the coast of Douglas Bay and is surrounded by Carbis National Park. The buyer is guaranteed an annual interest rate of 3-4% per annum. Also, to participate in the passport program, it is possible to buy even a share, and not an entire apartment. The cost per square meter on the island is on average $ 2 thousand.

Buying property on the island also entitles you to apply for Dominica citizenship. Dominica's passport allows visa-free travel to 137 countries, including the Schengen countries, Great Britain, Singapore and Hong Kong. The main advantage of this passport program is its low cost: the minimum investment amount is 200 thousand dollars.

Antigua and Barbuda - small state in the waters of the Caribbean. The country consists of three islands: Antigua, Barbuda and Redonda. The island of Barbuda was badly damaged after Hurricane Irma, so the main focus is on the island of Antigua. It is interesting for lovers of diving and snorkeling, you can swim in the company of dolphins and stingrays. The island has golf, tennis, cricket grounds, and all conditions for riding scooters and kayaking.

The cost per square meter in Antigua is slightly higher than on other islands and on average ranges from 3.5-4 thousand dollars. Villas with an average area of \u200b\u200b150 sq m can be purchased in the range from 700 thousand to 1 million dollars, and from 300 sq m - from 2 million dollars.

When buying real estate in excess of $ 400 thousand, the investor can apply for an Antigua and Barbuda passport, in which he can also include a spouse, dependent children under 26 and parents over 58, as in most programs. Citizenship of this island nation attractively loyal taxation system and the possibility of visa-free visits to 149 countries, including the EU countries, Great Britain, Hong Kong and Singapore.

For the passport program, real estate objects are quoted by the government, but this does not restrict the buyer, but rather protects him from unverified developers. An investor can purchase a land plot, hotel, villa or apartment. There is no shortage of luxury accommodation here. However, most of the buyers participating in the passport program purchase apartments or small houses for vacation and rental.

Summing up, we can say that the Caribbean is one of the most unique and in-demand destinations not only for traveling to new year holidays, but also for the purchase of real estate for vacation - as a distant summer residence or to obtain a second passport, which opens up endless opportunities for both the investor and his entire family.
