Fondly known as the ‘Emerald Isle’ of the Caribbean, this pear-shaped island is a traveller’s paradise for nature lovers, divers, adventurers, families, villa vacationers and honeymooners. The former capital city (the star attraction) Plymouth, is buried in volcanic ash, a transformation that likens this British Overseas Territory to a modern-day Pompeii. In contrast, the rest of the island flourishes with green mountains, world-class nature, hiking trails, deserted dark sand beaches, untouched reefs and a friendly charm reminiscent of the way the Caribbean used to be. Montserrat offers a unique niche of ‘residential tourism’, boasting some exclusive accommodation, all of which provides a serene and comfortable lifestyle with all the amenities for a laid-back, Caribbean island getaway in this wellkept secret.
