Discover the most romantic honeymoon experiences in the Caribbean, from private beachfront dinners and sunset catamaran cruises to luxury hotels.
The Caribbean is a picture-perfect destination for a gay honeymoon. With its sun-drenched beaches, crystal clear waters, and world-class resorts, the Caribbean is a big draw for romantic trips.
The Caribbean is home to some of the world’s most romantic beaches. Grace Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos is a picture-perfect beach with pristine waters and upscale beachfront resorts. In Anguilla, Shoal Bay’s pink-tinged sands and blue waters provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic trip. Meanwhile, Eagle Beach in Aruba is a favorite for honeymooners, with its soft sands, sunsets, and beachfront dining.
While LGBTQ+ attitudes can vary across the islands, there are plenty of destinations that are welcoming, inclusive, and perfectly tailored to honeymooners of any gender.
Choosing the Right Island
Not all Caribbean islands are equally LGBTQ+-friendly, so selecting the right destination is key. Islands like St. Barts, Puerto Rico, and Curacao are among the most inclusive. For ultimate luxury, St. Barts combines French sophistication with Caribbean beauty and world-class luxury hotels. Puerto Rico, as a U.S. territory, has a thriving LGBTQ+ scene in San Juan’s Condado district. Meanwhile, Curacao, a Dutch overseas territory, has colorful buildings, perfect beaches and excellent hotels. For an even more luxurious experience, Mustique is the playground of royalty and celebrities, and it has a decedent and ultra-exclusive social scene.

Unforgettable Luxury Honeymoon Experiences in the Caribbean
Staying in the Caribbean provides many unique honeymoon experiences.

In destinations like St. Lucia or Anguilla, you can indulge in intimate beachfront dinners prepared by private chefs, where candlelight flickers against the backdrop of white sands and waves.
For a more immersive experience, consider exploring the natural beauty of islands like Dominica or St. Lucia, where luxury eco-resorts provide exclusive couples’ spa treatments surrounded by rainforests and volcanic landscapes. Take a helicopter ride over the Pitons of St. Lucia, or enjoy a private guided tour of Barbados’ historic rum distilleries, capped off with a tasting of rare blends.
If you’re craving cultural experiences, wander through the colonial streets of San Juan, visit historic plantation houses in Barbados, or dance the night away to the rhythms of salsa and reggae.
Dining and Nightlife
The Caribbean is a great destination for food lovers, and a honeymoon is the perfect excuse to indulge. Savor freshly caught seafood, sip handcrafted cocktails on the beach, and explore local delicacies like Creole dishes in St. Lucia.
For nightlife, islands like Puerto Rico and Curacao have LGBTQ+ scenes with inclusive bars, clubs, and beach parties.
