With luxury villas and gorgeous classic resorts, the Turks & Caicos is one of the Caribbean’s most appealing destinations. Parrot Cay by COMO, located on its own private island, is exclusive and romantic—a place where luxury is all about pampering, wellness and staying put. Image Courtesy Parrot Cay.
Enchanting and remote, Nicaragua is an ideal escape for couples looking for barefoot luxury coupled with outdoor adventure. Mukul is a stunning, eco-friendly property that’s tropical and sexy but distinctly Nicaraguan, and provides guests with opportunities for local outreach and cultural exploration.

With its vaulted, beamed ceilings, walls of well-thumbed books, fascinating artwork and hand-picked antiques, Twin Farms was clearly once a beloved private home. Today, the 18th-century main house is still the heart of the 300-acre property, which is a serene escape for couples looking to enjoy gourmet cuisine, pampering spa treatments and activities including ice skating in the winter and hiking in the summer. Particularly appropriate for honeymooners, Twin Farms does not allow children under 16. Image Courtesy Twin Farms.
Slightly more off the beaten path from the typical beach destination, Amanera is located on one of the most stunning, remote beaches in the Caribbean. The resort is a castaway paradise, combining sleek, romantic design with an untouched jungle location. Image Courtesy Amanera.
With white sand beaches, turquoise seas, exhilarating eco-adventures and Mayan ruins, the Riviera Maya offers something for everyone. The first luxury resort on the Riviera Maya, Belmond Maroma sits on the area’s best beach and has an authentic, destination-specific vibe. Image Courtesy Belmond Maroma.
With its spectacular beauty—sweeping green valleys, expansive banana plantations and flowering jasmine throughout—St. Lucia is boasts a magical location. Sugar Beach evokes a dreamy, almost spiritual atmosphere, and is ideal for nature-loving couples seeking an active getaway. Image Courtesy Sugar Beach.
Off the coast of Canada, Vancouver Island is a ruggedly beautiful and secluded spot from which to immerse oneself in nature without leaving behind luxury. At Clayoquot, outdoorsy, foodie couples who love adventure will be in heaven; its sheer remoteness makes it unbelievably romantic. Particularly special is the hotel’s Cloud Camp tent, an ultra-luxe accommodation perched 4,500 feet above sea level and the perfect spot to disconnect. Image Courtesy Clayoquot Wilderness Resort.
A mecca for passionate oenophiles and design scouts, Napa Valley is also home to some of the country’s most innovative cooking. Add gorgeous hotels, charming towns and stunning scenery to the mix, and you can see why a few days in the wine country is like a little slice of heaven. Image Courtesy Visit Napa Valley.
Preserved by ancient fortifications built by the Spanish, Cartagena de Indias, commonly called Cartagena, is a stunning time capsule on the shores of the Caribbean. World class music, film and literature festivals (Nobel Prize winning Colombian author Gabriel Garcia Marquez kept a home here), talented chefs and chic hotels and shops are luring those in search of seaside culture.

Perhaps the most stylish beach locale the world over, St. Barth’s has a rhythm of its own that mixes French glamour with a laid-back tropical ease. From its world-class hotels to its pristine, undeveloped shores, the island is dynamic destination for couples who want to mix nightlife and shopping with downtime.
