Tobago Vacation Rentals

Part of the twin-island republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Tobago's unique mix of races from India, Europe, China, Arabia and Native America have resulted in a fascinating mélange of cultures. Soak in the cuisine, nightlife, rainforests and beaches with a vacation home.

Foodie paradise

Tobago's culinary legacy comes from its Creole, Asian, African and European influences. Whether through delicious and cheap street food or fine-dining waterside restaurants, the island offers a unique culinary experience. Ubiquitous snacks include doubles (a flatbread served with chickpea curry) and roti, a flatbread served with meat or vegetable curries.

Most local restaurants serve callaloo, a rich spinach soup. For local desserts, try Snow Cone (fruit-based syrups over shaved ice, topped with condensed milk) and Bene Balls made from molasses, sugar and sesame. Creole dishes such as pulao, callaloo and oxtail, and Tobago's signature dish, Curried Crab and Dumplings, can be found at Store Bay.

Nighttime fun

The island's nightlife goes well beyond dance clubs and beach parties. Live steel-pan bands play the Congo at local clubs and traditional cultural performances are a great way to absorb Tobago's fascinating culture. Local artists put on a great show with their drumming and flaming limbo acts particularly at the Itsy-Bitsy Playhouse in Mt. Pleasant. Roulette, poker, bingo and delicious bar food await visitors to Tobago's casinos.

Wild outdoors

A first-class biking mecca, Tobago is replete with scenic downhill trails and secluded beach trails. You could also consider an off-road jeep safari into the heart of the island and visit Tobago's ancient rivers, waterfalls and plantations.

Equestrians can explore the lush countryside and spectacular coast on a horse. Tobago's calm waters are given to water sports such as windsurfing, diving, kite-boarding, kayaking and stand-up paddling. Watch the giant leatherback turtles arrive by night to lay their eggs at Grafton Beach, Stonehaven Beach or the Great Courland Bay.
