If you are planning a romantic trip, then you might instantly think of the Caribbean. And who can blame you, when those white sand beaches and palm-fronded huts have become synonymous with newlyweds. Does anything beat kicking back with your bodies entwined in a hammock and a cocktail in hand?
For many couples, the answer is actually yes. You see, while a sunshine-drenched, beach-heavy Caribbean trip certainly isn’t to be sniffed at, many couples just will not vibe with this kind of stay. In fact, dare we say that truly adventurous couples might find this kind of thing boring after a few hours?
Luckily, some Caribbean locations can add a little more depth, or at least a little more adventure, to make this romantic escape an unforgettable trip. Keep reading as we consider them.
# 1 – Mexico
If you and your partner love history, then it is well worth considering Mexico for your next romantic trip together. If you book a location on the Caribbean coastal side, then you can also technically classify this as a Caribbean escape.
Locations like Tulum have especially gained popularity in recent years. While you can certainly enjoy plenty of palm trees and cocktails when you choose accommodation like these La Zebra Tulum couples resorts, you can also enjoy some of the most impressive Mayan history here, including the iconic El Castillo, which neither of you will forget in a hurry.
And Tulum is not the only choice. Other options include Isla Mujeres for sporty couples who love snorkeling, or Puerto Morelos for a taste of authentic Mexican life.
# 2 – Jamaica
Jamaica is broadly considered to be a fantastic romantic Caribbean destination, but you do not need to stay stuck canoodling on beaches here, either.
If you fancy a little more excitement, and you both love nature, then you may prefer to head to spots like Falmouth, an 18th-century Georgian town on the North coast that’s most famous for its luminous lagoon, a glowing marvel that is sure to see you growing closer as you admire it together.
Other top destinations might include Ocho Rios for thrill-seeking couples keen to get out of the sheets and give cliff diving a shot together, or even Cockpit Country if you like the idea of sharing heart-to-hearts as you trek rugged terrain.
# 3 – Belize
Perhaps you just love the idea of a romantic trip that is not quite so on display. We are not saying Belize is a typically quiet country – it is a Caribbean hotspot like any other on this list. But with plenty of deep jungles and secluded hidden gems, a trip here could be a great way to really get intimate.
It is especially worth considering destinations like Caye Caulker, a small car-free island with a ‘go slow’ vibe that can be fantastic for couples trying to reconnect, or just those who prefer a less showy, much deeper kind of romance.
Fed up with Caribbean stays that look like they are made for the movies? Get a taste of real love by booking your next romantic trip in one of these top destinations.
