| The Caribbean's 'Emerald Isle', is a verdant, teardrop-shaped island which made headlines in 1997 when its volcano destroyed the then-capital, Plymouth. The island has seen its fair share of glitz: stars Stevie Wonder and Sting came here to record and to party with the jet set. Stay at the Gingerbread Hill (www.volcano-island.com, doubles from £25). Eat local dishes like chicken with rice and pigeon peas at Tina's (00 1 664 491 3538). Gourmet Gardens (00 1 664 491 7859) serves hearty European dishes.
