welcome to mojo travels and today we're
counting down our picks for the top ten
resort countries in the Caribbean for
couples are you a fan of our videos be
sure to subscribe to mojo travels and
ring the bell to be notified about our
latest videos for this list we're
looking at some of the most beautiful
Caribbean destinations that are world
renowned for their pristine beaches
laid-back attitude welcoming atmosphere
and luxurious resorts
please note for the sake of highlighting
the very best options out there we're
including both independent countries and
destinations that fall into the category
of overseas territories or protectorates
of larger nations number 10 Cuba given
that Cuba is located in the northern
part of the region people often seem to
forget that this country is still
technically a part of the Caribbean
occupying 42,000 426 square miles of
land and home to just over 11 million
people it's a nation with a decidedly
unique history and political position
most notably its tense relationship with
the United States when relaxing at one
of its many well-respected beachfront
hotels and resorts however tense won't
be in your vocabulary and with countless
beaches to choose from including such
notable spots as Varadero los caius coco
and louder go than food you're truly
spoiled for choice couples who like a
side of culture with their sand and Sun
will also appreciate a day trip to
historic Havana or videos if it weren't
so difficult for Americans to visit Cuba
likely would have ranked higher number 9
Cayman Islands though technically a
British overseas territory the Cayman
Islands have more than enough name
recognition to have earned a spot on our
list consisting of three core islands
that add up to just about 102 square
miles of land the Cayman Islands are
known for two things its history as a
tax haven and its world-class beach
resorts but there's nothing romantic
about gray area financial dealings so
let's focus on the latter
Grand Cayman the largest of the three
islands is home to the iconic Seven Mile
Beach where you'll find some of the
area's most renowned hotels and resorts
not to mention breathtaking ocean vistas
and a stretch of sand to rival any found
around the world more adventurous
couples will also be happy to know that
all three islands boast incredible
opportunities for snorkeling and scuba
diving number eight Dominican Republic
located on the island of Hispaniola
which it shares with Haiti the Dominican
Republic has long been a go-to
destination for Sun seeking lovers in
fact it's the single most visited
country in the Caribbean attracting
visitors on mass not only with its
beaches but also its ever-popular
year-round golf courses diverse
landscapes and historic sites with all
that being said there's no denying that
crystal-clear waters and hundreds of
miles of pristine coastline serve as the
primary draw whether you're the sort of
couple that wants to sip drinks under a
palapa or frolic in the water and mingle
with other guests at a Caribbean
playground there's a resort that will be
only too happy to accommodate the only
reason the Dominican doesn't rank higher
it does tend to get crowded so pick your
resort wisely number seven Saint Kitts
and Nevis small in size and with a
distinctly undiscovered vibe to it this
Caribbean nation made up of two islands
is the perfect place for couples looking
to beat the crowds the scenery
characterized by lush towering green
mountains is utterly breathtaking and
will make you feel as if you've been
transported back in time located in the
southern Caribbean these twin islands
strike a unique balance feeling at once
understated and luxurious nature reigns
supreme and the colourful little towns
and cities are extremely welcoming
should you and your significant other
decide to engage with local culture go
visit a local restaurant or bar or do
some shopping but at the beachfront
resorts you'll receive a pampering fit
for royalty Walley beach and frigate a
bay are two standout areas and home to
some of the country's most popular
retreats number six Antigua and Barbuda
though people generally
tend to talk about Antigua the sovereign
state it belongs takes the second half
of its name from its lesser-known island
to the north the nation also encompasses
a number of smaller islands including
great bird and redonda among others
tourism is the most significant driver
of Antigua and Barbuda --zz economy
representing over 50 percent of its
gross domestic product this is the sort
of destination where a couple can really
find a private slice of paradise there
are larger resorts for those who prefer
a sense of familiarity but the country's
hundreds of little coves had plenty of
smaller establishments and boutique
hotels where you can treat yourself to a
wholly unique more secluded and
personalised romantic getaway you'll
come for the rum and the sunsets and
you'll stay for the incredible locals
and charming culture number 5 Jamaica
unlike our previous two entries this is
a Caribbean destination that requires
very little introduction and yet while
Jamaica is among the most iconic
destinations in the region it's also
arguably among the most culturally
distinct in no small part thanks to the
prevalence of reggae music and the
philosophy of Irie meaning good pleasing
nice or cool and from beautiful beaches
to overwater bungalows there's no
shortage of resort destinations to
choose from where you will most likely
be feeling pretty Irie yourself Jamaica
was rightfully deemed the top Caribbean
destination by TripAdvisor in 2019 a
word of caution however Jamaica is one
of the more popular family destinations
in the Caribbean so if you're looking
for peace and quiet consider booking
into an adult only resort number 4
Grenada the sovereign state in the West
Indies consists of the island of Grenada
and six other small islands tourism is
one of the major driving forces of the
local economy home to approximately 112
thousand people Grenada welcomes many
times that number of visitors every year
this nation is blessed in many ways it
produces many sought-after spices
including nutmeg and there is also a
wide and bountiful selection of local
fruits so you know you'll be eating well
but perhaps granada's greatest treasure
is its beaches Ranade island alone is
2:45 of them one could take a romantic
trip to Granada once a year for every
year of your marriage and still be
discovering new stretches of sand to
wander best of all Granada is big on
ecotourism meaning that you can make
this romantic getaway an environmentally
friendly one
number three Saint barthélemy officially
known as the territorial collectivity of
Saint barthélemy most people simply
refer to this overseas collectivity of
France as st. Barths this tiny little
island occupies just under 10 square
miles of land in the Caribbean Sea but
it sure packs a whole lot of beauty and
luxury into that modest footprint where
else can you enjoy breathtaking beaches
crystal-clear waters
five-star resorts and gourmet French
cuisine all in one place it's quite
frankly a dream vacation destination
between the picturesque landscape of
cliffs green hills turquoise waters and
abundance of flowers you'll likely never
want to leave st. Barths is by no means
cheap there's a reason why it's most
closely associated with the rich and
famous but for a once-in-a-lifetime
luxury romantic getaway you can't do
much better number 2 st. Lucia located
in the Eastern Caribbean Sea this island
nation occupies 238 square miles of land
and is home to approximately 165,000
residents its beauty is world renowned
to the point that it has historically
been referred to as Helen of the West
Indies a comparison to the legendary
Beauty attributed to Helen of Troy if
that's not enough to sell you on a
romantic vacation for two at one of the
islands many resorts we're not sure what
will but here goes nothing despite its
stunning coastline rolling hills and
international popularity st. Lucia
remains notably down-to-earth the people
are welcoming and the atmosphere is a
perpetually relaxed one and the island
offers up numerous extremely luxurious
accommodations intimate beautiful and
utterly unique st. Lucia is an idyllic
getaway
number one Barbados beautiful diverse
but less cost prohibitive than some of
our previous entries Barbados claims our
top spot by being just an incredibly
well
good choice this lovely island nation is
known first and foremost for its beaches
the sand ranges from white to golden
yellow but it's always incredibly soft
while the bright blue and turquoise
waters are impossible to resist if you
and your significant other like to go
beyond a resort you'll also love the
local nightlife and the capitol bridge
towns historic district a unesco world
heritage site makes for a great day trip

boutique hotels with options at every
price point wherever you choose to say
