The Caribbean is made up of many captivating sun-kissed countries, but ask those of us who are fond of the region and you'll find we all have a few personal favorites.

Keep tabs on your top vacation spot or find a new island of intrigue with these six websites covering news, activities, culture and lifestyle in the Caribbean.

CaribJournal.com

Caribbean Journal is an excellent source for news, travel information, photos and videos on all things Caribbean, and even covers nearby beach hot spots like the Bahamas and Cancun.

Browse news and content by destination or by a list of topics, including culture, nature, cruise planning and Caribbean cooking, among others. There's even a separate "rum" section for connoisseurs of the region's most beloved liquor. Those who can't resist the allure of all-inclusive getaways can read the publication's news and reviews of these resorts, including adults-only properties.

UncommonCaribbean.com

Brothers Steve and Patrick Bennett created Uncommon Caribbean to show a deeper, more dynamic side to the region in contrast to the superficial version most outsiders have been shown in traditional media.

Learn what Carnival is like in various Caribbean countries, or delve into the islands' many opportunities for ecotourism. Explore the musical side of the Caribbean, especially the lesser-known aspects, such as scratch band music of the U.S. Virgin Islands or tambour drumming in Martinique.

RealLife.ky

With a focus on upscale architecture and design, RealLife's digital magazine issues highlight some of the Caribbean's most enchanting properties and destinations, taking you on a virtual vacation with swoon-worthy photography of luxe interiors and inviting beach scenes. Current issues are available for browsing, and additional news on travel, lifestyle and people can be found at the RealLife site. But readers beware — you can easily dream away a few hours flipping through this sleek publication.
