Our Top 5 Tips for travelling
the Caribbean as a Couple!
Made your decision, which is it, the Bahamas? Jamaica? Curacao? No matter your choice, we have some top tips to help elevate your couple’s experience, take charge of your holiday and make the most of the glorious Caribbean.
- 01. Island Hopping
- 02. Rum Paradise
- 03. Choosing Seasons
- 04. Caribbean Essentials
- 05. Unplugging Paradise
01. Island Hopping
Island Hopping across the many destinations throughout the Caribbean has been made possible recently through ferries and planes, something the locals or your resort reception can give you more information about.
Believe it or not, there’s always more to see and more to do in the Caribbean. You’ll never bore, but you will tire, so carefully pick what suits you best as a couple!
02. Rum Paradise
If you’re not a fan of rum, you might struggle to find your drink of choice among the Caribbean islands. Originating in Barbados, rum is the favorite and most-served alcohol in the region.
So get ready for your fair share of Rum Runners, Daiquiris and Pina Coladas… and getting caught in the rain?
03. Choosing Seasons
The tropical region of the Caribbean only features two seasons, dry and wet. When booking, it’s essential to consider this, as the wet season can be stormy, running into the hurricane season between June and November.
Aim to book your fabulous trip between December and April to ensure you get the best weather for your getaway!
04. Caribbean Essentials
A few items we deem 100% essential in your luggage are cotton clothes, sunscreen, lip balm, hats and mosquito repellent.
As you can imagine, the sun is hot and intense (one of the main reasons people travel here is to top up that tan, right?), and you need to over-prepare to keep your other half cool and safe.
05. Unplugging Paradise
Our fifth and final tip is to take a step back, take in your surroundings, and disconnect from emails and texts. I promise they’ll be waiting for you when you get home!
This approach is the only way to ensure you and your partner absorb as much of the Caribbean as possible.

Yes! The Caribbean is a romantic holiday. It is often described as the template for an anniversary holiday, providing beautiful scenery, secluded quality time and adventure. Arguably the perfect place to take the person you love.

Plan ahead of your visit, request a bottle of champagne and book a couples massage to start your Caribbean holiday, or request a room service meal and set up a romantic date overlooking the Caribbean Sea from your balcony.
