Top Romantic Getaways in the Caribbean

Turks and Caicos

This is one of the top 10 Caribbean islands where miles of white sand beaches, turquoise waters teeming with coral reefs and indulgence collide. Those looking for romance will find it on the elegant resorts of Providenciales, which offers great food and culture.

Then there’s South Caicos where Sailrock Resort lets you pick your poison. You can stay at the resort with fine dining, stay in a private beachfront villa, or head to an private villa on the private peninsula which sits on some of the most beautiful secluded white shores.

St. Lucia

Visit this romantic island getaway to lose all sense of time in luxurious accommodations. St. Lucia has some of the Caribbean’s most spectacular and picturesque scenery that you can’t help but be overwhelmed by – the main reason it’s been considered the best romantic getaway for honeymooners for a while now.

A great option for couples who love experiencing a bit of everything, you two can indulge in water sports, snorkeling, hike to the volcanic Pitons peaks or relax on beautiful beaches. One of the best inclusive resorts for couples is Jade Mountain Resort, an adults-only resort that bans technology and caters to your every whim.

Jamaica
