Getting there is simple, especially from the United States. The territory consists of three islands: St. John, St. Croix, and St. Thomas. It&#8217;s easy to hop from one to the other on short stays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/us-virgin-islands-josh-duncan-nRZoLSr0mEE-unsplash-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"exotic caribbean destinations Trunk Bay St. John USVI (Photo by Josh Duncan)\" class=\"wp-image-72069\" width=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/us-virgin-islands-josh-duncan-nRZoLSr0mEE-unsplash-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/us-virgin-islands-josh-duncan-nRZoLSr0mEE-unsplash-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/us-virgin-islands-josh-duncan-nRZoLSr0mEE-unsplash-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/us-virgin-islands-josh-duncan-nRZoLSr0mEE-unsplash-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/us-virgin-islands-josh-duncan-nRZoLSr0mEE-unsplash-2048x1639.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Trunk Bay St. John USVI (Photo by Josh Duncan)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Croix is the largest, and it&#8217;s popular among scuba divers and honeymooners. The island is approximately 22 miles long, with two cities and a thriving cultural environment that includes art and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Thomas is the most diverse in terms of visitors. Its city center and beaches attract mostly families and couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St. John, the smallest of the three islands, is more rustic than the other two. Beyond famous beaches like Trunk Bay, there is a lot of natural beauty in St. John. National parks make up two-thirds of the island. This makes it the perfect destination for those who want to see the Caribbean in its unspoiled form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aruba\"><strong>Aruba<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If sitting on the beach and entirely disconnecting from the outside world is your ideal vacation activity, Aruba is the exotic Caribbean destination for you. Locals and visitors call it &#8220;One Happy Island&#8221; because of its laid-back atmosphere, magnificent beaches, and year-round sunny weather. Aruba is noted for having one of the sunniest climates in the Caribbean. It has a lot to brag about as a holiday hotspot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-7.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-7-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"exotic Caribbean island destinations A divi-divi tree on a sandy Aruba beach, backdropped by the ocean.\" class=\"wp-image-72082\" width=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-7-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-7-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-7-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-7-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image-7.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>A Divi-Divi tree<\/em> <em>on Eagle Beach in Aruba (Photo by Benjamin Rascoe<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aruba.com\/us\/explore\/eagle-beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eagle Beach<\/a>, for example, has won numerous awards and is consistently ranked among the best beaches in the world.
