“Love and Wanderlust” are perfectly paired for a romantic getaway, honeymoon, or destination wedding in Antigua and Barbuda. This twin-island nation abounds in activities where couples can bond, from sunset sails and yacht charters to hands-on Caribbean cooking classes at Nicole’s Table and horseback riding on Sunset Beach (and in the surf!) with Sunfire Horseback Riding Academy.

A sunset dinner at Sheer Rocks sets the table for an evening of romance, while the VIP day-trip experience at Nobu Barbuda includes private cabanas, beach massages, and a six-course Omakase sushi and paired drinks experience on Princess Diana Beach. In Antigua and Barbuda, couples don’t even have to leave their hotel to get that kind of serious pampering: Sheer Rocks, for example, is located at the Cocobay Resort, and this destination has a menu of romantic resorts rivaling any other island in the Caribbean. Here are some of our favorites.
