The 20 Best Honeymoon Hotels in the Caribbean

Hermitage Bay

The Caribbean tops the list of honeymoon destinations year after year, naturally! Because its white sands and azure seas are a regular daydream for many, and a honeymoon is one of the best excuses you’ll ever have to go somewhere you’ve always dreamed of visiting. Which is why our Hotel Gurus have painstakingly researched the region’s most romantic hotels to find the very best honeymoon hotels in the Caribbean. If you want to be treated like royalty they’ve found the best luxury honeymoon hotels; if you’re looking for a private island to escape to they have idyllic recommendations, and they’ve got great value Caribbean honeymoon hotel picks too. It’s almost worth renewing your vows for...

For Barefoot Luxury Honeymoons

Peter Island

  • Peter Island is a private island resort in the British Virgin Islands, offering about as much Caribbean paradise and peace as anyone could want. There are 55 rooms, villas and suites, but there’s a whole island to explore — with a choice of beaches — so plenty of space to be alone. Most rooms have glorious sea views, and all are stylishly decorated. Because you’re on your own private island the facilities are impressive, with lots to do if you want to, and a spa if you’re here to relax.
  • Parrot Cay is another private island hotel, this time in the Turks and Caicos group. Its rooms, suites and villas are lined up along an immaculate white, sandy beach, and they all have private balconies, and some private pools too. But there’s plenty of space to find your own privacy, whatever room you opt for. The spa has won awards, and the restaurant has top reviews.

For All Out Luxury Honeymoons

Cap Maison

  • Cap Maison is a magical luxury hotel in an incredible spot above Smuggler’s Cove, St. Lucia. Built with a sort of Spanish Mission vibe, the collection of 49 huge rooms, suites and villas are arranged in a mini town, and have shuttered windows and huge verandahs. There’s incredible views wherever you look — from the pools, gym, bars, restaurant and gardens — and plenty of tucked away corners to be alone.
  • Belmond La Samanna is a super stylish hotel resort on the French side of St. Martin. If you’re fussy about details then this is the Caribbean honeymoon destination for you, with un-faultable decor and huge bathrooms, a beautiful pool, three fantastic restaurants, an impressive spa and an idyllic private beach.
  • The nine suite Quintessence Hotel is a tropical mansion overlooking the white sand of Long Bay, Anguilla. Spacious and stylish, this is the sort of place where everything has been carefully chosen, and nothing is too much trouble, from the acclaimed restaurant to the chic spa.

For Beach Lovers

Calabash Hotel

  • The Calabash Hotel on Grenada, is a Five Star tropical paradise offering to fulfil your honeymoon daydreams. Its 30 suites are just back from a palm-fringed, sandy beach, and have views from private balconies, and plunge pools, and elegant decor. There’s an award-winning Gary Rhodes restaurant, and a top of the range spa.
  • Treasure Beach is a chic collection of 35 rooms and villas edging right up against the sand of Paynes Bay, Barbados. The decor is chic and unfussy, there’s an excellent international restaurant, and, most importantly, a prevailing air of peace…
  • Point Grace on idyllic Grace Bay, at the tip of the largest island in the Turks and Caicos group, is a dreamy white hotel with stunning rooms and suites with perfect Caribbean views. Arranged around a central, landscaped pool, these 28 rooms also overlook a path leading from the pool to the beach. There are two restaurants and a Thalasso spa to keep you feeling honeymoon pampered.

Romantic Honeymoon Escapes

Fond Doux Plantation

  • Surrounded by the lush jungles of Soufriere, the secluded cottages of Fond Doux Plantation feel remote but still luxurious. This is old fashioned plantation-style luxury, with dark mahogany four-poster beds, private verandahs and tropical flowers, but with modern additions like private plunge pools, a spa offering volcanic mud wraps and an organic restaurant.

For Traditional Caribbean Romance

Jamaica Inn

  • Jamaica Inn is so perfectly positioned that you step out of the hotel directly onto a beautiful tropical beach of pale yellow sand, bright turquoise water and palm trees a-swaying. Its 51 rooms and suites have large shuttered windows overlooking either the beach or the lush tropical gardens, and white linen on four-poster beds. There’s a choice of formal or informal dining, plus a pool, spa and gym.
  • Harbour Island’s The Landing is a stylish, 13 room hotel converted from a 19th Century plantation house. Plenty of charming details remain, but the decor now has a contemporary edge. The best rooms have water views. The menu and wine list are world class.
  • The Villas at Stonehaven is a collection of just 14 villas overlooking Tobago’s Buccoo Reef. All the villas have their own kitchenettes, living areas, patios with plunge pools, and gorgeous four-poster beds draped in white muslin. There’s a communal pool, with a barbecue terrace, and there’s a restaurant onsite too.

For All Inclusive Honeymoons

Hermitage Bay

  • Secluded and superlatively beautiful, Hermitage Bay is a small resort running along one of Antigua’s lesser known white sandy beaches. Surrounded by tropical gardens the 30 huge suites feature private terraces, outdoor rain showers, day beds and shuttered windows. In you venture out there’s a spa, gym and gorgeous infinity pool, plus an excellent restaurant and laid-back bar.

Bijou Honeymoon Hotels

The Caves

  • The Caves offers Five Stars worth of quirky character, in 13 colourful cottages memorably positioned on a low cliff directly above the ocean in Negril. Each cottage has a different colour scheme and layout, but they’re all airy, fun and unique, with huge beds and bathrooms — some have a small kitchen too. There’s a pool and spa, ladder access to the sea, and the bar occupies a sea cave looking out over the water.
  • If you’re looking for small and secluded, consider The Great House, a superlative hotel converted from a beautiful, historic mansion hidden away in verdant tropical gardens in St. Peters, Antigua. There are only eight rooms, all individually and impeccably designed, plus a beautiful spa and fabulous restaurant.

For Great Value Honeymoons

Tensing Pen

  • Tensing Pen will fulfil many Caribbean Honeymoon fantasies with its secluded thatched cabins with their muslin-draped four-poster beds, huge bathrooms and outdoor showers. Arranged on a rocky stretch of coast, you’re right up against the ocean, as is the superb modern Jamaican restaurant, the bar and the pool and yoga space.
  • Nestled amongst palm trees just a hop and a skip from the beach, the Firefly Bequia Plantation is an historic plantation house turned six room hotel on Bequia. The main building houses the restaurant, a bar and large pool, and accommodation is in the grounds, in cottages and villas, catering to families or couples.

For Caribbean Weddings

The Trident

  • The Trident is a spacious, 13 room beachside hotel. The rooms, suites and villas are spacious, with large bathrooms and generously proportioned terraces with plunge pools. The gardens are expansive, and the beautiful infinity pool in its central courtyard is a stand-out feature. There are two restaurants to choose from, and the Trident Castle makes the perfect backdrop to your special day.

For Boutique Romance

Casa Bonita

  • Casa Bonita is a 12 villa escape up in the verdant green hills above La Cienga in the Dominican Republic. The villas have four-poster beds, private verandahs, and plunge pools with water views; and there are excellent shared facilities too, including a breathtaking infinity pool and an excellent organic restaurant. There are miles of white sandy beach just nearby.
  • Strawberry Hill is another small, boutique hotel set in lush surrounds, this time on a hilltop in the Blue Mountains, overlooking Kingston, Jamaica. The eleven rooms (set in individual cottages) are beautifully decorated with a colonial air, complete with Jamaican antiques and high verandahs. There’s an infinity pool with epic views and yoga terrace with a view too, plus a relaxed bar, and excellent Jamaican restaurant.
