Sandals® Resorts: Your Honeymoon, Island Style

By Lauren Ertl | December 5, 2024

At Sandals Resorts, take your vows from aisle to isle with a honeymoon as smooth and effortless as a Caribbean breeze. No flights to catch. No bags to repack. Just you, your love, and the rhythm of the islands.

Start your mornings stargazing from a Tufa Terrace Skypool Suite at Sandals Dunn’s River, with two private soaking tubs giving you front-row seats to paradise. Or steal away to the new Vincy Overwater Villa at Sandals Saint Vincent, where the waves serenade you to sleep. From butler-served breakfast in bed to champagne at sunset or a moonlit soak, every moment is unforgettable.

A couple stands in a river, in front of cascading waterfalls, surrounded by lush green foliage.

Taste the Islands

Flavors that linger. Moments to savor. From sizzling Latin fusion to the creamy indulgence of hand-rolled sushi, every dish is crafted to celebrate love. Snack at food trucks, sip freshly roasted coffee, or indulge your sweet tooth with island-made donuts.

And when it’s time to toast, raise a fine wine, a craft cocktail, or a local brew—all included, of course.

A couple stands in a pool, facing each other and smiling. In the background are palm trees and wooden buildings.

Adventure Meets Bliss

Wake up and dive in. Snorkel vibrant reefs, or venture off property and take a Catamaran cruise out to sea. Prefer something low-key? Lounge by the infinity pool or sink into a cabana with a good book while we bring the drinks.

By day’s end, let the island lead you: sail at sunset, climb Dunn’s River Falls, or simply listen to the breeze together.

A couple in white robes sit on a couch, holding glasses of champagne and smiling. Wall has decorative fish art.

Wellness, Island Style

Feel every care melt away with treatments inspired by Caribbean traditions and perfected by spa experts. Drift into relaxation with a couples massage or awaken your senses with aromatherapy.

Every honeymoon calls for a beachside massage, and at Sandals, we make it a reality.

A couple stands on a boat at sunset, embracing near the railing and looking at each other.

Your Honeymoon, Your Way

Your first days as newlyweds should be magical and effortless. At Sandals Resorts, we make it happen—with the best of the Caribbean, adventure, and romance, all curated for two. From the moment you arrive, the Caribbean is yours to uncover.

What No One Tells You About Wedding Planning in So What No One Tells You About Wedding Planning in Southern Italy… 

Plan Amalfi ceremonies earlier as the cliffs steal the light fast.

Shoot Alberobello portraits at sunrise to avoid tourists.

Southern Italy weddings run slow. Build out a relaxed timeline for the day. 

Expect wind, heat, or sudden storms. Have shade and a backup plan! 

Best months to plan your wedding for May–June & Sept–Oct for light and fewer crowds.

✨ Why have one wedding day when you can have a w ✨ Why have one wedding day when you can have a whole experience? ✨

Multi-day destination weddings are the new “I do” — because when your guests travel across oceans, you want to make it worth the trip. 🌎

Think: welcome parties, group adventures, beachside brunches, and endless moments that actually let you connect. 💛

It’s not just a wedding anymore — it’s a mini-vacation with everyone you love.

Okay, can we just start with how adorable this is? Okay, can we just start with how adorable this is? Victoria and Derrick first connected on Twitter… over a song. Yep, “The Matrimony” by Wale, to be exact. If that’s not the sweetest, modern meet-cute, I don’t know what is. 

Fast forward to their very own matrimony planning, and the couple opted for a Guanacaste, Costa Rica destination wedding. The reason was simple: it’s where the jungle meets the ocean!
