Caribbean honeymoon ideas
Barbados is a favourite Caribbean honeymoon destination, and with good cause. I recommend The Atlantis, a chic boutique beach hotel is on the rugged and beautiful Atlantic coast. Combine it with a few nights at Little Good Harbour.
Another outstanding island is St Lucia, which combines great beaches with lush countryside, fishing villages and friendly locals. The place to stay is Anse Chastanet which is set on the island’s loveliest bay and has spectacular rooms.
I love the Bahamas, particularly island-hopping in the Out Islands. This can be great value combining Pineapple Fields with the Coral Sands Hotel. Or you can experience all-out luxury at Sandals Emerald Bay in the Bahamas where all the suites overlook the sea and you have your own personal butler. If you enjoy diving, head for the Cayman Islands. Take a look at these diving honeymoons.
Dominican Republic is among the most under-rated Caribbean islands, now easily reached with new British Airways flights to Punta Cana. I recommended Secrets Sanctuary Cap Cana, an adults-only resort set on an amazing white sand beach. Check out the junior suites, suites and villas.
Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island costs a small fortune to rent out, but it also holds Celebration Weeks which are ideal for honeymooners and much more affordable.
Offering a wonderfully romantic hideaway on a private beach, plus stunning suites with a semi-open living area, is Jamaica Inn on the north coast of Jamaica.
Grenada is a stunning island. Honeymooners should check out the romantic and stylish Laluna, owned by the charming Bernardo Bertucci, a former fashion guru in New York. It’s super-stylish, cool and intensely private.
Or escape to Young Island, your own private slice of private island paradise in the Grenadines; they offer the chance to take a three-night cruise through the Grenadines on board their skippered yacht as part of your honeymoon package.
