About Tobago

Tucked just off Venezuela’s coast, Tobago is your go-to for a chilled Caribbean escape, where lush rainforests meet pristine beaches. This laid-back island offers everything from cosy, budget-friendly guesthouses in Scarborough to swish, all-inclusive resorts and boutique villa-hotels near Crown Point, perfect for beach lovers and divers. Families flock to the calm waters of Store Bay, while couples seeking seclusion adore Speyside’s hidden retreats. Wherever you stay, expect sweeping sea views and that signature Tobago charm.

Some of our Tobago collections:

Tobago is full of character, blending a rich history with stunning natural beauty. A great place to start is Fort King George in Scarborough, where a knowledgeable guide can bring the island’s past to life as you wander through its old walls and the Tobago Museum. If you’re a nature lover, the Tobago Forest Reserve is a must—this is the oldest protected rainforest in the Caribbean, where lush valleys, mountain trails, and colourful birdlife make for unforgettable hikes. You can also meet native wildlife at Corbin Local Wildlife Park or take a short boat trip to Little Tobago, a sanctuary for rare birds and an ideal spot for a peaceful hike.

Of course, Tobago’s beaches are irresistible. Picture-perfect Pigeon Point, hidden Pirate’s Bay, and sweeping Stonehaven Bay all promise golden sands and calm, turquoise waters perfect for swimming, kayaking, or snorkelling. Families love the shallow, crystal-clear Nylon Pool, and keen divers will find plenty of reefs to explore with the help of local dive schools. Away from the shoreline, you can explore the island on horseback, cycle through its scenic trails, or unwind with a round of golf. And when the day winds down, there’s nothing better than wandering through laid-back fishing villages, sipping Caribbean rum in a beach bar, and soaking up the easy-going island vibe.
