Antigua and Barbuda has claimed the top spot on Caribbean Journal's ranking of the best honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean, according to Antigua News Room. The twin-island nation was praised for offering an unmatched range of romantic experiences, from grand all-inclusive resorts to intimate luxury retreats.
Writing for Caribbean Journal, Karen Udler highlighted the nation's legendary 365 beaches as a defining feature, noting that couples could enjoy a different stretch of sand for every day of a year-long stay. The diversity of accommodation, she argued, allows honeymooners to tailor their experience precisely to their mood.
The adults-only all-inclusive sector drew particular praise. Hammock Cove and Hermitage Bay were singled out as leading properties — both all-suite retreats designed almost exclusively with couples in mind. Jumby Bay, accessible only by private boat and situated on its own island, was cited as raising the stakes even further, offering guests an escape from the pace of everyday life.
St. James's Club, anchoring the southeastern coast, was noted as an appealing option for more active pairs seeking a lively atmosphere and a full range of on-site activities, including pickleball.
On the pure luxury end of the spectrum, Hodges Bay on the north shore was recognised for its sleek, contemporary style — complemented by an on-site Katsuya restaurant — while Carlisle Bay was described as one of the region's most quietly sophisticated retreats.
Together, the properties cement Antigua and Barbuda's reputation as a destination capable of delivering a honeymoon experience to suit virtually any couple, from the celebratory to the blissfully secluded.
