When it comes to unforgettable honeymoons and dreamy getaways, Sandals Resorts is the name synonymous with luxury, romance, and adults-only indulgence. With stunning locations across the Caribbean, each property offers a unique vibe—whether you're seeking total relaxation, adventure, or a lively social scene.


As a Sandals Certified Specialist, I help couples find the perfect match based on their travel style, preferences, and budget. This guide breaks down the best Sandals Resorts for couples or honeymooners, organized by island, resort perks, and even a few "insider tips" from my real client bookings.

If you’re doing a wedding-moon with family present, this Beaches resort is a favorite for group trips or multi-gen honeymoons. Plenty of romantic spots while still being family-friendly.


#TravelMore Tip: with only 2 Beaches resorts (one in Jamaica, the other in Turks), these book up a year in advance, sometimes further out. Work with me to get your room booked and a low deposit paid to secure the reservation with final payments not due until 45-60 days prior to travel.


Extra Perks You Didn't Know About ✨


  • Free scuba diving + motorized water sports at most Sandals

  • Free airport transfers (upgraded cars for certain room levels) - this is a huge perk as it can cost around $200+ for private round trip transportation on the islands.

  • Catering to allergies: Nutritionist or chef will meet with you to plan meals for the week

  • Luxury Included™: No hidden fees, premium alcohol, gourmet food, 24/7 room service in club/butler levels
