Newport, RI - December 2011 - As January 1st creeps up, millions of resolutions are made for the new year. Here are five exciting pledges that that are easy to keep and a pleasure to plan from the experts at WIMCO, the leading, largest and longest established villa rental company serving St. Barts.

From enjoying a regatta on the glamorous French Caribbean paradise of St. Barts, to exploring the seas beneath the Turks and Caicos on a snorkeling adventure, the Caribbean is the perfect place to enjoy in 2012.

1. Have a Ladies Week in St Barts

Whether hosting a group of grandmother, mother, and daughter, or a tight knit group of friends, St Barts is the perfect spot for a ladies' getaway. Stay at beach side villas in Lorient and enjoy long walks up and down the beach and remember to reserve a poolside spa session at your villa from the Ligne St Barth mobile spa team.

2. March in the Carnival Parade

In February, the waterfront at Gustavia on St Barts blossoms with color as the intimate downtown streets are full of revelers in festive costumes and elaborate floats carrying music and mischief. After enjoying the festivities, you can retreat to your private villa where you can continue to celebrate while watching the sun set over the Caribbean Sea.

In April, join in on the fun of the Le Voile de St Bart Regatta, watch the races from a hilltop retreat or take advantage of the chance to pay for a seat on one of the yachts for a close up view of a day of world class competitive sailing. Stay in a Wimco villa near the harbor with an easy walk into town to take part in the post race festivities and see the fleet at dock.
