St Kitts and Nevis has temporarily suspended British Airways flights from the United Kingdom, the country announced. 

The move will take affect from Dec. 26 through at least Jan. 2, 2021, according to tourism officials.. 

It comes in light of the new strain of coronavirus reported primarily in the United Kingdom. 

St Kitts and Nevis has also announced that it will be requiring all travelers from the United Kingdom to quarantine at their hotel and not “vacation in place” for the duration of their stay. 

The other option is a mandatory 14-day quarantine, officials said.

Music, art, people, history and of course immense natural beauty help define the magic of Jamaica, and the Caribbean island’s small boutique resorts allow visitors to connect with it all without having to make any concessions to comfort.

Here are seven of Jamaica’s best boutique resorts for immersing in Jamaican culture up close and personal.

Tensing Pen, Negril It’s hard to find a literal definition of a “tensing pen,” but I like the notion that this Negril resort takes your tension, confines it to a little cage, and tosses it off the nearby cliffs into the Caribbean. Often described as “rustic” due to its construction from blocks of local stone and thatched-roofed buildings, Tensing Pen is hardly a place where guests need to rough it. Inside the walls of the hotels’ rooms and cottages you’ll find bamboo and mahogany furniture that blend as well with the garden setting as the hotel walls do with Negril’s famous cliffs. Likewise, trails lined with lush foliage wander from the rooms to a freeform pool, open-air restaurant, a spa, and spots where you can test your courage with a cliff dive into the inviting waters below.

The Turks and Caicos Collection has reopened its all-inclusive Alexandra Resort on Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales. 

The 90-room, family-friendly property, has reopened with a host of new health and safety protocols “to maintain the safest level of cleanliness and hygiene for guests and staff,” the company said in a statement. 

The resort is part of the collection’s four-hotel portfolio in Turks and Caicos, along with the Blue Haven Resort, the adults-only Beach House and the newest addition to its portfolio, the private-island Ambergris Cay resort. 

Turks and Caicos has been open for tourism since July.
