The celebration’s about to begin

About Before your trip

The celebration’s about to begin. Carnival takes many forms, but it’s always an experience to remember—especially when you have a special place where you can catch your breath between the festivities, like Cannelle’s cliffside villa in Guadeloupe or Udo’s Moorish-style castle on Tenerife. With equally special spots in Rio de Janeiro, Venice, and New Orleans, just to name a few, the possibilities are endless.
