Pastel-colored sunsets, slow crashing waves against the shore, moonlit walks under the swaying palm trees, ocean view accommodations and all-inclusive dining… it doesn’t get more romantic than the Caribbean. Year-round, couples from all over the world celebrate their love and affection for each other on the soft sands of the Caribbean–whether it’s for an anniversary, destination wedding, honeymoon, babymoon or just because… there’s no place like the Caribbean for romance.
Now, where should you run off into the sunset? Truthfully, you can't go wrong, but here are six romantic Caribbean destinations that are sure to make your heart skip a beat.
Antigua
Picture yourself, hand-in-hand with your other half, strolling tropical, palm-lined beaches with the ocean as your backdrop. If your ideal, romantic beach vacay includes picturesque views, tons of island-wide activities, history and vibrant culture to experience, then Antigua is definitely the place for you! Sip on refreshing cocktails on top of Shirley Heights, take a sunset cruise to see the Pillars of Hercules or have a picnic on the beach at Half Moon Bay... need we say more?
St. Lucia
There's just no getting enough of St. Lucia's natural beauty–from the famous Pitons to breathtaking Sugar Beach. Indulge with your loved one on waterfront dining, world-class massage treatments on the beach, chic bars and much MORE! St. Lucia is perfect for honeymooning and intimate destination weddings.
Turks & Caicos
There isn't much about Turks & Caicos that isn't romantic! Miles of unspoiled, white sand beaches, breathtaking sunsets, deserted islands to explore, scooter rides around the island... doesn't this sound like a dream?
Cayman Islands
Surrounded by sugary-soft sand, turquoise water, hundreds of starfish and welcoming locals, the Cayman Islands is the perfect destination to jet off to with your love, just because or for a romantic honeymoon. Visit starfish point, stroll down Grand Cayman's famous Seven Mile Beach, ride horses along the beach and in the Caribbean Sea, dine at world-class restaurants and much, much MORE!
Puerto Rico
Everything about the beautiful island of Puerto Rico emits old-town charm and vibrant culture. Wander through the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, sip the most delicious coffee at local street cafés while you people watch, take in the views and history from the San Juan National Historic Site (home to two, five-century-old forts), or even take some salsa classes. The options are endless for romance in Puerto Rico.
Barbados
One of the most romantic destinations in the Caribbean is, hands down, the stunning island of Barbados. Its clear, blue skies, lush hills and aquamarine water offer the perfect setting for a romantic escape in the Caribbean. From lounging on the beach at Bottom Bay to snorkeling in Carlisle Bay or strolling through the gardens at Codrington College, a trip to Barbados is a total dream!
