The Lesser-Known Caribbean – Honeymoon Without The Crowds

Honeymoon

Consider some of the lesser-known islands for a Caribbean honeymoon with a difference. Here you will find pristine beaches, seclusion and jaw-droppingly stunning accommodation for the ultimate romantic escape. 

Lesser-Known Caribbean

The British Virgin Islands or BVI comprises four main islands and numerous smaller ones, and its calm currents and protected bays combine to make it one of the premier yachting destinations in the world. The destination is still laid-back and largely undeveloped, in spite of its reputation as a mecca for billionaires and celebrities. If your Caribbean honeymoon budget doesn’t quite stretch to the incredible Necker Island, where 7 nights will set you back in the region of €20k, consider a gorgeous eco-resort such as Cooper Island –the only accommodation on the island of the same name, with just ten spacious rooms hidden amidst beautiful gardens, an acclaimed beachside restaurant and on-site rum bar and micro-brewery.

Anguilla remains delightfully under the radar – a beach haven with a gentle pace, which seamlessly fuses old and new. Anguilla boasts 33 beaches, giving you plenty of opportunity for sunbathing or swimming in the sapphire waters. Explore the coral reefs on a memorable diving excursion or sample the fine restaurants, fun bars and gentle pace of life in this ultimate Caribbean honeymoon destination.

The recently restored Belmond Cap Juluca is a hidden treasure, nestled along breath-taking Maundays Bay. Offering the utmost privacy, the toughest decision you’ll have to make is whether to indulge in a soothing spa treatment in your own room or to peel yourself away from your retreat to head out and explore the multiple beaches and islands on your doorstep.
