WHAT SANDALS RESORT IS BEST FOR A HONEYMOON?
Selecting the best Sandals Resort for your honeymoon is a big deal. We get it, and for that reason, we are sharing the top five Sandals Resorts for a honeymoon. All Sandals Resorts are super romantic escapes designed for lovers, but a few stand out as the best Sandals Resorts for honeymoons:
1. SANDALS GRANDE ST LUCIAN For Honeymoons | St. Lucia
Sandals Grande St. Lucian is one resort we recommend for more active honeymooners. This resort is perfect for those who appreciate being immersed in beautiful surroundings at an adults-only, all-inclusive resort but aren’t necessarily wanting to lie on the beach all day, every day. The calm water of Rodney Bay makes for excellent watersports. You’ll find kayaks, wakeboarding, windsurfing, paddleboarding, kneeboarding, and more all included! This property sits adjacent to Pigeon Island National Park, one of our favorite places to go hiking in St. Lucia. The hike from the park entrance to the top of historic Fort Rodney takes under an hour. The views are spectacular!
BEST HONEYMOON ROOM AT SANDALS GRANDE ST. LUCIAN:
Over-the-Water Honeymoon Butler Bungalow
Picturesque and exotic, Sandals Grande St. Lucian gives you a taste of the South Pacific without having to fly halfway around the world. What’s the best way to take in this beauty? A private helicopter transfer from the airport. The views are to-die-for! Booking your honeymoon in an overwater bungalow is the ultimate honeymoon indulgence. Coming in close to the price point of what you’ll find in Bora Bora or Fiji, but a much better value because all your food, drinks, and butler service are included!
IS SANDALS GRANDE ST. LUCIAN ROMANTIC:
We rank Sandals Grande St. Lucia as an 8 on the romance scale. The combination of elevated beauty and one of the most indulgent room categories in the Caribbean makes it a winner! Want more information about Sandals Resorts? Click here!

2. SANDALS GRENADA for Honeymoons | Grenada
Sandals Grenada is one of the chicest and well-designed resorts in the Caribbean. Design savvy clients will love to spend their honeymoon here. The island’s lush and dramatic landscape provides the perfect backdrop to this modern high-style design hotel. Grenada is the road less traveled in the Caribbean. The island gives honeymooners a feel of exotic escape when they stay at this adults-only all-inclusive resort!
BEST HONEYMOON ROOM AT SANDALS GRENADA:
Italian Oceanview Penthouse One Br. SkyPool Butler Suite w/Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub
The SkyPool Butler Suites are one of our favorite rooms for honeymooners across the entire Sandals brand! Why? Because most honeymooners spend more time relaxing in their rooms on their honeymoon, than on any other type of vacation. That said, you will want a fantastic space! These SkyPool Butler Suites include stunning pools that blend into the horizon. All of our clients have the same feedback – they spend more time soaking in their SkyPool than they thought they would. These rooms also come with butler service aka your own dedicated honeymoon helper. After planning a wedding for months, maybe years, you will be in dire need of relaxation. Having a butler take care of all of your dinner reservations and special requests is priceless.
IS SANDALS GRENADA ROMANTIC:
We rank Sandals Grenada an 8 in romance. The winning combination for us at this hotel is the off-the-beaten-path and natural vibe of the entire island paired with award-winning modern hotel design. Want more information about Sandals Resorts? Click here!
WHAT IS GRENADA LIKE?
We always suggest a Grenada vacation to clients looking for that perfect mix of eco-adventure, beautiful beaches, and incredible cuisine because… read more.

3. SANDALS SOUTH COAST for Honeymoons | Jamaica
Sandals South Coast is fresh off a multi-million dollar renovation and expansion. Isn’t life best lived over the water? Sandals South Coast has this all figured out! This beachfront resort has a long stretch of white sand and turquoise waters. The resort is spread over 50 acres and offers a range of accommodation options, including many beachfront rooms & suites. The resort offers overwater bungalows, an overwater chapel, and an overwater bar complete with overwater hammocks.
MOST HONEYMOON ROOM AT SANDALS SOUTH COAST:
Over the Water Butler Honeymoon Bungalow
We are sticking with the overwater bungalows as the best option here for romance, but we have a feeling the new rondoval rooms in the South Seas section will come in as a strong second! The overwater bungalows at Sandals South Coast all have beautiful ocean views and are designed and built at angles that provide almost continuous privacy. We’ve had Sandals honeymoon clients in these bungalows that hardly left their suite!
IS SANDALS SOUTH COAST ROMANTIC:
We rank Sandals South Coast in Jamaica with a romance rank of 9. This 500-acre resort has plenty of room for privacy, which is one of the top things honeymooners want! The resort is also inspired by water, with so many room categories having crave-worthy water features. We love that! Want more information about Sandals Resorts? Click here!

4. SANDALS ROYAL PLANTATION for Honeymoons | Jamaica
Sandals Royal Plantation is a historic property with legendary customer service. This boutique-sized hotel only has 74 rooms, and ALL include butler service. Sandals Royal Plantation is the best Sandals honeymoon hotel for people who seek charm and appreciate an old-world vibe to their vacation. This hotel is also closer to the sea than all other Sandals hotels. You will find a handful of incredibly charming, private nooks to sit seaside and enjoy a cocktail. When you stay at Sandals Royal Plantation in Jamaica, you are only a few minutes from Sandals Ochi, and you have full access to all of their resort amenities and restaurants.
MOST ROMANTIC ROOM AT SANDALS ROYAL PLANTATION:
Royal Oceanfront One Bedroom Butler Suite
Every room at Sandals Royal Plantation has an ocean view and includes butler service so picking the most romantic room here is difficult because of so many excellent options. We’ve spent the most time in the Royal Oceanfront One Bedroom Butler Suites, so maybe that’s why it stands out as our favorite romantic room at this hotel. Located on the quiet East Beach, the balcony’s views are spectacular… and so are the views from the bathroom! We love being able to open the mahogany shuttered windows and soak in an open-air bubble bath drawn by our butler.
IS SANDALS ROYAL PLANTATION ROMANTIC:
We rank this hotel as a 9 on the romance factor primarily because of the size. Many of our clients looking for the best Sandals Resort for a honeymoon, want smaller hotels. They are often exhausted by the time they make it on their honeymoon. The thought of an extra-large resort is not appealing. When you stay at Sandals Royal Plantation in Jamaica, you get the best of both worlds. A charming host hotel, and access to a larger hotel offering, even more, romance and fun.

The room comes with a private pool, hot tub, outdoor shower, expansive living room, and comfy king-size bed. A quick call on your butler phone and any food or beverage wish can come true!
IS SANDALS ANTIGUA ROMANTIC:
We are in agreement with the World Travel Awards and rank Sandals Grande Antigua as a 10 on the romance factor scale.

INSIDER TIPS – THE BEST SANDALS RESORT FOR HONEYMOONS
We share our honest opinions with you, even if they aren’t favorable. We want you to make an informed decision on where to stay in the Caribbean. Every hotel has a few quirks that should be considered in the honeymoon planning process, so you’ll see us mention these from time to time.
As far as honeymoons go, we should mention that swim-up suites are actually not on our list of honeymoon favorites. This is for two reasons: 1) the privacy factor – our honeymoon clients want privacy above all else. All swim-up rooms are on the ground floor, and except for very few room categories across the Sandals brand, most swim-up rooms leave your room open to people swimming and/or walking by. 2) the view – because these rooms are on the ground floor, you often have an obstructed view of the ocean. The number one reason people visit the Caribbean is because of the scenic ocean views. Most honeymooners we know have that vision cemented in mind. They want to wake up next to their new life partner and enjoy coffee on a balcony overlooking the sea!
WHY ARE SANDALS RESORTS GOOD FOR HONEYMOONS?
Because these adults-only resorts make for an easy travel experience. After months, sometimes years, of planning your wedding, it’s nice to go on a honeymoon that requires minimal decision-making. At Sandals, everything is included – from staff gratuities to scuba diving and everything in between. You can put away your wallet when you arrive and not worry about any financial decisions the entire time. Unlike other all-inclusive resorts, Sandals does not have a tiered inclusion plan – everyone gets top-shelf liquor, and all restaurants are open to all guests. Another fun fact that sets Sandals Resorts apart is that tipping is strictly prohibited for all staff except the butlers. The service you receive is genuine and not delivered on the expectation of a gratuity. Want more information on what is included at Sandals Resorts? Click here!
AND NOW THE FUN PART – FREE HONEYMOON AT SANDALS RESORTS!
If you decide on a Sandals Resort for your Caribbean honeymoon, don’t forget to sign up for the free honeymoon perks! Currently, the perks offered for honeymoons at Sandals Resorts are:
- A chilled bottle of sparkling wine waiting for you in your room.
- A special turndown service that includes flower petals on the first evening of your honeymoon.
- A decadent breakfast-in-bed delivered with fresh flowers on the morning of your choice.
**Of course, a few restrictions apply – but save this link to the honeymoon perks and remember to sign up after you book your honeymoon.
WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST SANDALS RESORT FOR A HONEYMOON?
No one really wants a “cheap vacation.” What people really want is the best value. When looking for an adults-only all-inclusive resort, Sandals Resorts are the best value. We’ve shared all the top Sandals resorts for honeymoons, but they might be over budget for some. If you are looking for the cheapest Sandals Resort for a honeymoon, we suggest Sandals Halcyon in St. Lucia because it has incredible value. At Sandals Resorts, you get to stay at one and play at more. On the island of St. Lucia, that means you can stay at one of their resorts and enjoy the other three by taking advantage of their free shuttle. Even though Sandals Halcyon is a small property, your dining options expand to include 27 restaurants! Click here to quote your honeymoon at Sandals Halcyon!
WHEN SHOULD YOU BOOK SANDALS RESORTS FOR YOUR HONEYMOON?
When it comes to booking a honeymoon at Sandals Resorts, timing is everything. The best time to book your Sandals honeymoon is as soon as you set a wedding date. By booking early, you increase your chances of securing the room type you desire. Sandals Resorts has a lot of room categories, but that doesn’t mean they have a lot of the same room. If you see a room style you like, it’s highly likely other couples have their eyes on it, too. Don’t wait; start planning your dream honeymoon at Sandals Resorts today!
