Caribbean honeymoon resorts worth falling in love with

If you’re heading to the Caribbean for your honeymoon, you’ve already made a smart decision. Now comes the fun part—choosing the right resort to match your vibe.

Whether you’re dreaming of a five-course dinner under the stars, private plunge pools, or waking up to rainforest views, these handpicked resorts deliver unforgettable romance with standout details. And yes, a couple of Sandals properties made the list for good reason.

1. Sandals Grande St. Lucian – Saint Lucia

This sprawling resort sits on a slender peninsula in Gros Islet, flanked by Rodney Bay’s calm turquoise waters and the dramatic Atlantic coastline. Sandals Grande St. Lucian is known for its overwater bungalows—each with a glass floor panel, soaking tub for two, and a private butler on call. Dining is serious business here, with 12 restaurants offering everything from upscale Indian to a beachside British pub. For something unique, hop on the included shuttle boat to Pigeon Island National Park and hike to a scenic lookout—then return to your private infinity-edge plunge pool for a sunset soak.

2. Jade Mountain – Saint Lucia

This one’s for couples who want to feel like they’re floating in a dream. Perched high above Anse Chastanet Beach, Jade Mountain’s open-concept “sanctuaries” have only three walls—your fourth is the sweeping Piton mountains and the sea. Each suite comes with a private infinity pool, custom woodwork, and no TV or Wi-Fi distractions. The architecture is bold, almost otherworldly, with suspended bridges connecting rooms to the main lodge. The on-site restaurant, helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Allen Susser, focuses on tropical flavors with a gourmet twist. You can even enjoy a private dinner on your rooftop or schedule a couple’s massage overlooking the jungle.

3. Sandals South Coast – Jamaica

Set on a 500-acre nature preserve along Jamaica’s wild south coast, this adults-only, all-beachfront resort blends seclusion with signature Sandals luxury. The showstopper here? A cluster of overwater bungalows arranged in the shape of a heart—yes, literally. It’s the ultimate honeymoon photo op, but also a symbol of the kind of romance this place is built around. Each bungalow comes with a soaking tub, glass floor panels, a private deck with a hammock for two, and butler service. The resort also boasts the Caribbean’s longest river pool, an overwater bar with fire pits, and an open-air chapel perched above the sea for couples who might be thinking of renewing vows—or whispering new ones.

4. Secret Bay – Dominica

Secret Bay, Portsmouth (updated prices 2025)

Tucked into a lush clifftop forest, Secret Bay is a collection of just 10 ultra-private villas with names like “Zabuco” and “Ylang Ylang.” Each one has its own plunge pool, gourmet kitchen, and expansive deck with sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. There’s no formal restaurant—instead, a dedicated concierge arranges customized meals prepared by a private chef and delivered to your villa, or served at the open-air Zing Zing restaurant. Love a good adventure? The resort can coordinate canyoning, snorkeling in Champagne Reef, or a trip to Dominica’s famous Boiling Lake. It’s luxury for couples who crave a deep connection—with nature and with each other.

5. Hermitage Bay – Antigua

Hermitage Bay — IslandLuxe Resorts

This serene, all-inclusive resort is located on Antigua’s west coast, fronting a calm, secluded bay lined with powdery white sand. The 30 suites are spread across the beach and hillside—opt for a hillside pool suite for panoramic ocean views, outdoor rain showers, and wraparound decks. Hermitage Bay leans heavily into wellness, offering daily yoga, meditation, and a spa menu inspired by ancient healing practices. The restaurant changes its gourmet menu daily, incorporating ingredients from its organic garden. Come evening, live steel pan music or a solo guitarist sets the mood for barefoot dancing on the beach.

6. Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel – Anguilla

Belmond Cap Juluca | Luxury Anguilla Resort

Cap Juluca sits on the stunning Maundays Bay, with its blindingly white sands and impossibly clear water. The resort’s design channels a whitewashed Greco-Moroccan aesthetic—think domed ceilings, arched doorways, and mosaic tilework. Every beachfront villa suite includes a private terrace just steps from the sea, and many have their own pools. The service is legendary here—beach butlers spritz your face with rosewater and bring chilled fruit as you lounge under umbrellas. For dinner, Pimms restaurant is a must, with Caribbean-meets-French cuisine and candlelit tables right on the water. Want to level it up? Book the “Julucan Dreams” package with romantic sunset cruises and couples spa treatments.

Your honeymoon sets the tone for newlywed life—and the Caribbean makes it ridiculously easy to get it right. Whether you’re sipping champagne in a cliffside infinity pool or kayaking through quiet mangroves, these resorts offer more than romance—they deliver once-in-a-lifetime moments. So go ahead, splurge a little. You’ve earned it.
