Caribbean Wins Big at World Travel Awards — Saint Lucia Hosts a Night of Glitter, Glory & Island Flex
The Big Night
Forget Hollywood — the real red carpet rolled out in Saint Lucia, where the Caribbean wins big at World Travel Awards 2025. Turning Sandals Grande into a full-blown Caribbean victory lap.
It was all glitz, music, and regional swagger as islands across the region claimed top spots in global travel’s most glamorous showdown.
Caribbean Clean Sweep
The islands showed up and showed off:
- Saint Lucia crowned Caribbean’s Leading Honeymoon Destination and Adventure Destination.
- Jamaica swept Leading Destination, Leading Cruise Destination, and Leading Tourist Board.
- Turks & Caicos took Leading Beach Destination.
- Bahamas named Leading Luxury Island Destination.
By the end of the night, it was clear: the Caribbean doesn’t just sell paradise — it wins awards for it.
Saint Lucia Shines Bright
As host, Saint Lucia played it flawlessly: fireworks, live music, rum cocktails, and that unbeatable Piton backdrop.
Local resorts didn’t leave empty-handed either:
- Sugar Beach — Caribbean’s Leading Luxury Resort
- Jade Mountain — Luxury Honeymoon Resort
- Caille Blanc Villa & Hotel — Leading Boutique Hotel
- Anse Chastanet Resort — Saint Lucia’s Leading Wedding Resort
If romance had a postal address, it’d be Saint Lucia.
Up in the Air
Even the skies got a Caribbean touch-up:
- Bahamasair won Caribbean’s Leading Airline (yes, seriously).
- Jamaica’s Sangster International took Leading Airport.
- interCaribbean Airways earned Leading Cabin Crew.
Clearly, service with a smile still wins.
Beyond the Islands
Outside the Caribbean, Seattle grabbed North America’s Leading City Destination, Delta Air Lines claimed Leading Airline, and Four Seasons Lanai took Luxury Resort. But let’s be honest — the Caribbean stole the spotlight.
Bottom Line
From Saint Lucia’s honeymoon magic to Jamaica’s cruise kingdom and Turks’ white-sand bragging rights, the Caribbean proved it doesn’t just attract tourists — it defines travel goals.
The rest of the world can keep their snow and skylines. We’ve got the trophies, the tan, and the tunes.
