There are necessary ingredients to the perfect romantic retreat: a degree of privacy, a hint of seclusion, the right amounts of design and service. But these are not always sufficient. The most romantic getaways in the Caribbean have an extra quality: they manage to cultivate a sense of magic; they take you somewhere else. 

Our favorite romantic retreats in the region range from traditional adults-only getaways to urban outposts and private islands, all offering a palpable personality and an inarticulable feeling of wonder. They enchant you, playing with your senses, indulging your spirit and ensuring that your vacation is never ordinary. They are the perfect places for that special trip with that special someone.
