WHY: Tobago's one of the more relaxed and affordable Caribbean islands, home to 200 bird species with excellent diving (above) in waters rich with marine life. ON A BUDGET: Hayes & Jarvis (hayesandjarvis.co.uk) has seven nights at four-star Castara Retreats from £1,459pp, departing January 22, including flights from Gatwick. WHY: With its cricket pitches, horse racing and parish churches, green and hilly Barbados is the Caribbean island where Brits feel most at home. BLOW THE BUDGET: Carrier (carrier.co.uk) has seven nights at Coral Reef Club from £3,110pp, departing March 16, including breakfast, transfers and flights from Gatwick.
