3. The Baths, British Virgin Islands
The Baths is the location of one of the most unique beaches in the Caribbean.

Named one of the best beaches in the Caribbean for 2019, this magical place can be found on the island of Virgin Gorda, which belongs to the British Virgin Islands. Besides swimming in the gorgeous aquamarine pools, you and your spouse can snorkel in the nearby reef, and catch a glimpse of the colorful marine life of the Caribbean Sea.
4. Willemstad, Curacao
Willemstad is colonial charm at its finest! Imagine walking hand in hand with your beloved beside the harbor, passing colorful 17th-century Dutch houses that look as though they were part of a painting.
Nevertheless, they are entirely real– and Willemstad’s historic city center is so special, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site worthy of preservation for generations to come. This lovely Dutch city is the capital of Curacao, an incredible Caribbean island located close to Aruba and Bonaire.
Pick your perfect honeymoon hideaway in Curacao.
5. Shirley Heights, Antigua
Shirley Heights is an astonishing lookout point high above English Harbour on the island of Antigua. Therefore, if you’re looking for the perfect place to contemplate the magnitude of your love to the backdrop of a magnificent Caribbean Sea sunset, this is the place for you.
On Sundays, there are usually steel bands nearby the lookout site that play some relaxing Caribbean tunes. Grab a drink from a nearby vendor and boogie your romantic afternoon away!
6. The Pitons, St. Lucia
When you see mountains like these, you might think of the volcanic peaks of Bali. However, these long dormant volcanoes are much closer to home. The Pitons are incredible picturesque peaks on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. The highest one, Gros Piton, stands 2,530 feet above sea level.
Relaxing on nearby Jalousie beach or Anse Chastanet beach, in the shadow of the Pitons, just might be the perfect way to spend your exotic Caribbean honeymoon.
7. Ambergris Caye, Belize
Ambergris Caye, San Pedro Island, or “La isla bonita” as Madonna called it, is a spectacular island off the coast of Belize. It’s one of the most unique and affordable Caribbean honeymoon locations. You’ll find barrier reefs, a wonderful art gallery, and even some ancient mayan ruins to explore.
In addition, there’s even a secret beach, called–you guessed it— Secret Beach. It has the kind of sugary white sand you thought was only possible in your dreams.
Find your perfect Belize honeymoon villa here. Or, if you’ve ever fantasized about being “stranded” on an island with your significant other, you can actually rent your own private island in Belize.
8. Grace Bay Beach, Turks & Caicos
Just one look at that crystal-clear aquamarine water, and you can see why Grace Bay makes a perfect Caribbean honeymoon location. And what could be more romantic than 12 miles of soft, white sand to stroll upon?
Furthermore, Grace Bay was rated the #1 beach in the entire world by TripAdvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Awards.
Not that you need more reasons to go there, but who wouldn’t want to check “world’s best beach” off their bucket list? If you head to Turks & Caicos for your honeymoon, you’ll have the chance to do exactly that.
9. Anywhere in Anguilla
Anguilla has 33 incredible public beaches, an incredible amount for such a small island. Voted the #1 Caribbean island by Travel & Leisure, it rivals St. Barts for luxury and exclusivity. Celebrities and stars flock there to rent incredible private villas that overlook secretive, secluded beaches.
10. Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
The blue cobblestone streets, the eclectic shops, and the ancient walls of a Spanish fort welcome you to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Colonial charm mixed with lush Caribbean scenery–it’s the perfect potion to get you and your new spouse in a romantic mood. After strolling the streets that rise gently toward the site of the old fort, you’ll come face to face with a giant grassy plain on which residents and visitors alike fly whimsical kites.
