Total Vacations also specializes in higher-end product with a selection of boutique hotels and luxury villas, many situated within walking distance to restaurants, cafés, shopping and nightlife.

“Through the product we offer in all of our destinations, we enable and encourage our customers to truly experience each place, to get a true taste of the local culture, customs and flare,” said Sara Pulla, Director of Marketing and Product, Total Vacations.

“We also offer our customers the convenience of two- and three-centre holidays where they can experience more than one destination.”

Examples of this include St. Maarten combined with Anguilla and St. Barth’s or Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
