This is the Best Caribbean Island for a Honeymoon, According to CJ Readers 

What are the ingredients to the perfect Caribbean honeymoon? There’s some combination of solitude, luxury and natural beauty, for starters. Then a mix of adventure and romance. A thriving culinary scene doesn’t hurt, either. And it naturally starts with the perfect honeymoon resort. 

For Caribbean Journal readers, when it comes to the ultimate Caribbean honeymoon, one island stands out: Antigua, which was voted as the top Caribbean honeymoon destination in this year’s CJ Caribbean Travelers’ Choice Awards. 

The destination beat out 10 other top Caribbean honeymoon spots in a field of almost 36,000 total votes. 

Of course, it’s not a surprise that CJ readers chose Antigua. 

The island specializes in the kinds of boutique, luxury, adults-only all-inclusive resorts that are tailor-made for the perfect post-wedding getaway. 

Whether you’re at the outstanding Hammock Cove, where you find a collection of plunge-pool villas and world-class food; or the lovely Keyonna Beach Resort, with its on-the-beach Bali beds, garden pools and locally-focused fare; or the stunning toes-in-the-sand rooms at the Galley Bay resort, the island doesn’t lack for great honeymoon options. 

Or perhaps you’re looking for the history charm of the Admiral’s Inn right inside Nelson’s Dockyard; or the timeless glamour of the luxurious Curtain Bluff resort. Maybe you’re seeking the satin-turquoise sea views you can find at the hillside Cocobay resort. 

And then there’s the more active vacation. Looking for a state-of-the-art fitness center and pickleball courts right near the ocean? St James’ Club is for you. Or if it’s a blend of beach, cocktail and sports maybe the adults-only Pineapple Beach Club is your speed.

And then there’s Antigua’s buzzing culinary scene, buoyed by its now-popular annual Restaurant Week and a welcome mix of local hotspots and fine-dining eateries, whether you’re enjoying the best mahi mahi you’ve ever tasted at Catherine’s Cafe or a gourmet French meal at Le Bistro.

The beauty box is easily checked: 365 beaches, green hills, vibrant blue water and a dynamic undersea world, too.

Wherever you choose, you can be confident of this: with the approval of CJ readers, a Caribbean honeymoon is perfectly at home in Antigua and Barbuda.
