My Ultimate Magic Moment in the Caribbean

So what is your absolute magical thing to do when having your sweet hard-earned Caribbean vacation?

Scuba diving is probably the first thing that comes to mind, right? Scuba diving is among the top 3 reasons for a Caribbean vacation. Sure, the underwater treasures of the Caribbean will leave you an unforgettable experience. But diving has become a popular thing to do and will not qualify as the magic moment.

Well, how about getting a wonderful spa treatment at one of those super-inclusive resorts?

A great Thai massage that will remind me of how much I actually deserve this Caribbean getaway to start with.

To me that is ultimate relaxing experience. Yes folks, I am looking for magic here. Sparks. Mental exaltation.

Something that can take me to a higher plane. A taste of Utopia. Camelot. Eden. The perfect world. The perfect moment. The more I think about it, the clearer this glimpse of the perfect Caribbean moment becomes. Like a blurred image dissolving right before my own eyes.

A simple yet magical thing to do.

If you happen to be in Curacao, I would recommend Janthiel Beach.

Hit one of those beach beds just before sunset and stay there to watch the sun set. Hold the hand of your significant other and transmit this rare and unique moment of joy.

A few minutes in paradise. All is right in the world. To me that is the ultimate magic moment in the Caribbean…

A “super special” moment, so outstanding that I would go back just to experience this magical moment all over again.
