Inside the Royal Family's Favorite Vacation Destinations

The Cambridges are typical of their group of friends, favoring sun in the Caribbean and snow in the Alps. Yearly, Kate's family spend a week on the Caribbean island of Mustique to celebrate mum Carole's birthday on Jan. 31, and the couple usually stay in Aurora House, which has three bedroom suites, a sea view dining gazebo, and a pool. On the island, they go diving and play tennis before drinks in Basil's Bar or the Cotton House. For skiing, Will and Kate used to go to the Swiss resort of Klosters, where William grew up going with his father, Prince Charles (it's where they were first rumbled as a couple when they were snapped kissing on the slopes), but in recent years they have favored Meribel in France.
