Villa holidays in Montserrat in the Caribbean
Montserrat is a volcanic island 30 miles south west of Antigua, part of the Leeward Islands, in the Caribbean. The last major volcanic eruption from the active Soufriere Hills volcano was as recently as 1995, and destroyed much of the south part of the island.
The volcano rumbles on and deposits ash even now. The volcanic activity is monitored and the island has become become the setting for a volcanic adventure holiday where you can experience the sights and smells of a live volcano from a safe distance. Europeans, including many Irish arrived in the 17th century which resulted in Montserrat being called 'the Emerald Isle in the Caribbean'. To this day, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated as a national holiday. As a British overseas territory, its inhabitants are full British citizens. Perhaps an exotic location for a beach wedding in the Caribbean? |
The north part of the island is still very green and beautiful. All beaches, apart from one, have pale gray sand. There are plenty of opportunities for scuba diving, deep sea fishing and sailing.
