From resorts with a big dose of local flair to luxurious overwater bungalows on a secluded private island, couples have their fair share of choices when it comes to Caribbean island getaways.

Romance, for you, may mean lying out on the beach, having your next great snorkeling adventure, or being completely pampered. Either way, booking a couples stay at one of the best romantic island getaways below will always be a great idea.

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. To experience sheer opulence, head to Amanyara to stay in villas shaded by a protected wildlife park.

Others will find romance on Parrot Cay, an uber-luxe private island resort with Bali-inspired villas, seclusion, and a focus on wellness. You get the beauty of Turks and Caicos and the island vibes without feeling like you’re in a resort.

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

Full of life and beauty, Negril is a great honeymoon destination and romantic getaway. Look past the crowded resorts to The Caves, the closest thing to a private island that there is. It has 12 private cottages constructed atop stunning limestone cliffs and turquoise wooden paneling. An adults-only resort, couples can enjoy indulgent pampering while overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Montego Bay’s Half Moon has attracted rich and famous, including Queen Elizabeth. Three restaurants, a huge gym, multiple pools, and a variety of amenities are set across lush gardens and two stunning beaches. Rooms include views of the ocean, garden, or pool along with a private balcony and villas provide guests with their own butler and cook.

Aruba

Eco-friendly couples may prefer the romance offered at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, the region’s first carbon-neutral hotel. It’s a great place to relax with your significant other, but for a real treat, try a private cabana – you’ll experience an unforgettable oceanfront meal.

St. Barts

Couples who enjoy the glamourous side of life will enjoy St. Barts, the perfect Caribbean island to retreat. The powerful mix of Caribbean charm, all-encompassing natural beauty, and European influence keep honeymooners, couples, celebrities, and royalty coming to St. Barts every year; there’s a reason St. Barts and luxury go hand in hand. Want a romantic setting with less pomp? Try the Tom Beach Hotel, an intimate boutique experience.

The town of Samana has humpback whales and Cayo Levantado, an astonishingly gorgeous isle with chalk-white sand beaches lined with palm trees. Plus it’s exclusively for adults.

Punta Cana has more than standard resorts. Zoetry Agua Punta Cana is a tropical retreat for couples in need of rest and relaxation. A slowed down pace and different vibe than party hotels in the area, there’s massages, and a spa hydrotherapy circuit. There’s also a snorkeling, a private beach and if you book a suite, it comes with a private butler.
