Three Port Days
Shop by Category

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Welcome to Puerto Plata, the jewel of the Dominican Republic's famed Amber Coast. This stunning port city, cradled between the Atlantic Ocean and the verdant slopes of Mount Isabel de Torres, offers the perfect blend of Caribbean relaxation and cultural discovery. From Victorian architecture painted in vibrant tropical hues to the world-renowned Amber Museum, Puerto Plata captures the authentic spirit of island life.

St. Thomas is the crown jewel of the U.S. Virgin Islands, welcoming you with cobblestone streets, pastel-colored Danish colonial architecture, and some of the Caribbean's most spectacular beaches. Enjoy duty-free shopping along historic Main Street, visit the world-famous Magens Bay beach, and take in breathtaking views from Mountain Top. Best of all, it's U.S. territory—so your phone works just like home!

St. Kitts is a Caribbean treasure where British colonial heritage meets lush rainforest and volcanic peaks rise dramatically from impossibly blue waters. Explore the magnificent Brimstone Hill Fortress—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—or experience the delightful St. Kitts Scenic Railway, the last railway in the West Indies, as it winds through sugar cane fields and charming villages.
