A couple’s honeymoon should be the most romantic trip of their life as they celebrate their love together. What better place, then, than on a Caribbean vacation. The surroundings are impeccably romantic: calm blue seas, warm tropical nights, beautiful sunny days, incredible scenery. The Caribbean could be perfectly designed for honeymoon couples and offers everything you could want from this type of trip.

Many hotels in the Caribbean are designed specifically for newlywed couples. These resorts do not accept family bookings and as such provide the perfect romantic setting for your trip. Rooms are often designed with romance in mind, giving that extra touch to make your honeymoon special and make you feel like you’re living in luxury. With a little research, you can easily find a quiet, uncrowded resort suitable for a secluded trip with your new spouse. Islands like Anguilla and Antigua offer quiet beaches, perfect for lazy, relaxing and romantic days and nights on the beach.

Some couples will want to do something else on their honeymoon and spend it in activities, such as snorkeling, diving, and surfing. In this case, an island like Aruba or the British Virgin Islands (the sailing capital of the world) will be perfect for you. Here, you’ll be surrounded by the same stunning natural beauty as the rest of the Caribbean, but you’ll be able to indulge in your favorite water activities or try a new sport for the first time with the guidance of an experienced instructor.

Other couples go all out for their honeymoon and take a different kind of Caribbean vacation: the cruise. Such a cruise will typically cover a large portion of the Caribbean, both East and West, and can be enjoyed at whatever level of luxury suits you and how much you want to spend. Cruise ships often specialize in honeymoons and will provide romantic rooms filled with rose petals and special spa treatments for couples, such as massages. These are perfect for the couple who wants to relax and take it easy, while still seeing as much of the Caribbean as possible. This could be the best option for a honeymoon couple, and there are many tour operators that specialize in organizing these types of trips, so it couldn’t be easier to organize.

It’s no wonder so many couples choose Caribbean vacations as their honeymoon. With such a romantic setting and such a wide variety of options, the Caribbean is the natural place to get your marriage off to the perfect start.
