The ‘Heritage of the Leeward Islands’ tour with dates exclusively for solo travellers, starts in Antigua, with a six-night, all-inclusive stay at the St James's Club (4Q), which features a free bar up to 12 hours a day.

Set in 100 acres of landscaped grounds and next to two white sandy beaches, guests can relax and enjoy the facilities which include six swimming pools, tennis courts and a fitness centre.

The hotel operates a shuttle to the capital of St John's from Monday to Thursday, plus there’s an included half-day tour of St John's to see the cathedral, Nelson's Dockyard National Park which includes Shirley Heights military complex and Clarence House, built for Prince William Henry (later William IV).

Further optional tours include swimming with Southern Stingrays at Sting Ray City, a snorkelling trip or taking a catamaran to Barbuda to visit the bird sanctuary.

The second part of the holiday starts with a short flight to St Kitts for a seven-night stay at the St Kitts Marriott Resort (4Q).

St Kitts has a fascinating history and an included tour features Brimstone Hill Fortress, built more than 300 years ago when the island was under British rule, and Romney Manor gardens for a Caribbean picnic lunch.

Optional tours include the St Kitts Scenic Railway for a ride through the former sugar plantations or a jeep ride through the countryside and rainforest before lunch at Ottley’s Plantation Inn.

A full day’s excursion to Nevis is also on the itinerary so guests take a ferry to the island to discover the peaceful vibe, restored plantation houses and white sandy beaches.

Guests can extend the holiday with a seven-night pre-tour extension at the St James's Club, Antigua, or a seven-night post-tour extension at the exclusive Nisbet Plantation Beach Club (4Q) in Nevis.
