With Caribbean vacations or destination weddings on the horizon in the fall, soon-to-be wed couples or vacation-minded ones are thinking about their weddings, honeymoons or where to spend their long-dreamed about romantic Caribbean getaway. With its sunny skies, picturesque beaches, endless activities and off-the-grid feeling, a Caribbean island resort is the perfect destination if the couple fits the resort. Here are three wonderful examples:

Caribbean

For the Luxe Couple
The Shore Club in the Turks and Caicos islands is located on beautiful Long Bay Beach and offers a truly deluxe experience. The Shore Club offers a Caribbean atmospheric charm throughout the property. Guests can expect large suites with sweeping ocean views, four expansive pool areas, the naturally inspired Dune Spa, and five globally inspired dining venues and bars, all wrapped up in sea grape surroundings at this very exclusive resort. The property’s private yacht; a romantic dinner on the beach for two; a large, freestanding tub in your room; and an exclusive, adults-only pool overlooking the Caribbean are a few luxury amenities that make for a perfect honeymoon, wedding or luxury vacation.

Jamaica Inn

For the Couple Looking to Unplug  
The Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, offers couples a beautiful family-owned property, with 55 suites spread over 8 acres. Nestled just east of Ocho Rios within a secluded sandy cove, the Morrow family has owned Jamaica Inn for more than 60 years, mastering the art of combining discreet privacy with heartfelt personalized service. The property offers a 700-foot-long private white-sand beach considered one of the best in the Caribbean.

The Jamaica Inn has been somewhat famous ever since Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller chose to honeymoon there in 1957. Its suites, cottages and beachfront villas lie within tropical grounds and offer uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea. There are seven luxury cottages set on their own peninsula, featuring private plunge pools, outdoor showers and direct access to the ocean. A weekly program of activities includes rosé and croquet on the lawn, tours of the lush surrounding gardens, yoga at the ocean pavilion, and non-motorized water sports. Dining at Jamaica Inn is an elegant affair enjoyed alfresco, and features a daily changing menu complete with live music. Guests are also invited to experience the healing touch of nature at Ocean Spa, set within the cliffs of Cutlass Bay, with treatments drawn from plants on the island.

Cove

For the Honeymoon Couple Looking for Activities and Romance
A pencil thin island stretching like a mermaid’s tail, with about 200 miles of coastline, the Bahamian island of Eleuthera is a honeymooner’s dream. Known for its elusive, clear turquoise water, this dreamy getaway has the best of two worlds: a calm Caribbean Sea on one side and  Atlantic Ocean waves on the other, offering the perfect mix of adventure, seclusion and romance.  The ideal activity-packed honeymoon starts at The Cove Eleuthera, where all details and excursions will be handled for you. With two private white-sand beaches looking out on to the warm turquoise waters and an array of amenities (think snorkeling; scuba diving; paddle boarding; kayaking; surfing; and private boat excursions where you can swim with turtles, stingrays and even pigs), this island paradise is the ultimate tropical getaway. New to The Cove is an extraordinary seahorse excursion, where guests can take a snorkel trip to the island’s landlocked lagoon connected invisibly to the ocean called Sweetings Pond, known for the densest population of seahorses in the world. Or schedule an island excursion to visit the island’s top sights like Preacher’s Cave; Queen’s Bath; and the Sapphire Blue Hole, a world-famous inland saltwater lake claimed to be mysteriously bottomless … jump in if you dare.
