Best Caribbean honeymoon destinations 2019How do these rankings work?
1. Antigua
If you’ve never been you’ll soon see that Antigua is exactly what you would imagine paradise to look like. Ringed with coral reefs, it’s home to endless sandy beaches – many of which you’ll be able to enjoy as the only two people there.
It’s also a great place for the sailing and boating communities and a wonderful place to unwind with a few of their famous rum punch cocktails while watching a sunset.
2. St. Lucia
St Lucia is one of the most picturesque Caribbean honeymoon destinations. It’s the perfect place to come for a luxury holiday to lose all sense of time. Stay in some of the best high end resorts where your every whim is catered to and you’ll find yourself blissfully sipping on cocktails with your feet in the sand.
3. Guadeloupe
Guadeloupe is the new hot spot in the Caribbean that’s even more beautiful than many of the nearby islands. The island nation is made up of two large islands and three smaller ones, all absolutely beautiful.
It’s not as popular with tourists, so still has a rustic vibe and is less pricey than neighbouring St Barths – a win-win. It’s perfect for sun-seekers on a budget.
4. Cuba
Cuba is the largest of the Caribbean Islands and is a real melting pot of culture, great music and passionate people. Being closed-off to many visitors for such a long time gave the island a unique and laid back culture.
Havana is a place where time stands still and where you’ll enjoy the best cigar, rum and salsa dancing in the world. Perfect for a romantic honeymoon!
5. Tobago
Not as well known as its sister island Trinidad, but Tobago is actually said to be the island upon which the book Robinson Crusoe was based. The island is a rich tapestry of steep mountains, dense tropical forests and lush beeches.
There’s a great choice of luxury all-inclusive resorts, with the bonus of being on an unspoilt paradise island. Tobago is a must-visit for honeymooners looking for some peace and quiet.
6. St. Barths
This tiny island is all about the French-classiness it exudes, alongside the world class hotels and resorts on the island. A haven for the rich and famous at Christmas and New Year, it makes for great people watching and the perfect place to chill on your honeymoon.
It’s a classic honeymoon spot for good reason – this is a beautiful island that’s full of life.
7. St Vincent and the Grenadines
St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) are a great Caribbean honeymoon destination that’s not too touristy, or too expensive. Made up of 32 islands and cays, only nine of them inhabited, there’s some beautiful private resorts and snorkelling spots.
Explore the Caribbean Sea’s coral reefs, go island hopping and unwind in upscale boutique resorts. It’s absolute heaven here.
