5 Best Caribbean Destinations To Celebrate Valentine’s Day

February 14 is coming soon and if you are looking for somewhere romantic to spend Valentine’s Day, here are five Caribbean destinations that fit the bill. Think quiet idyllic beaches, azure waters, waving palm trees and some of the best places to dine in a tropical paradise. Here are five top suggestions for a Valentine’s Day break in the gorgeous Caribbean.
1. Take your Valentine to St. Martin/Sint Maarten

Here two nationalities share one island, with French and Dutch cultures existing side-by-side, making it a fascinating destination for dining. Meanwhile, there are idyllic beaches throughout with secluded coves. Alternatively, for those couples looking for a Valentine’s Day party, there is vibrant nightlife here on both sides plus some of the best fusion cuisine. For those who feel like shopping, there are duty-free shops selling jewelry and liquor.
2. Romance in Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas

Nestling off mainland Great Abaco in the Bahamas, Green Turtle Cay gets its name from the many sea turtles that inhabit its waters. Meanwhile, the only way to get here is by boat from the mainland and there is no airport on the island. For this reason, it makes for a great romantic destination for Valentine’s Day. Here, you can enjoy the beaches, and explore a charming village with New England-style architecture, all by golf cart or bicycle. Considered one of the Abaco Out Islands, it is only three miles long and half a mile wide, but with plenty of space for a romantic couple to enjoy.
3. Valentine’s Day in Grenada

This small Caribbean country has a main island, also dubbed Grenada and is surrounded by smaller islands. Known as the “Spice Isle” for its many nutmeg plantations, this is a beautiful island to explore together. Meanwhile, Grenada shares 45 beaches, many with secluded coves perfect for a private day in the sun. Couples can also enjoy exploring the hilly hiking trails, with gorgeous views all around. For more company, head to Grand Anse Beach, with its many resorts and bars.
4. Valentine’s Day in Anguilla

The British Overseas Territory of Anguilla lies in the Eastern Caribbean, with high-end resorts, upscale cuisine and powder-soft sandy beaches. As there are fewer cruise ships visiting the island, this makes for a sense of peace and quiet. Meanwhile, some of the secluded coves can only be reached by boat, such as Little Bay, making for perfect, romantic seclusion. For those wanting some adventure, protected areas like Big Spring Cave are fascinating to visit, with its prehistoric petroglyphs. Alternatively, couples can visit East End Pond, a beautiful wildlife conservation site.
5. Romance in St. Lucia

With its lush green valleys and mountains, quaint fishing villages and hidden beaches, St. Lucia offers some of the best scenery in the Caribbean. For Valentine’s Day treat, the island has several intimate and luxurious resorts, as well as a lively nightlife, with plenty of live music. During the day, explore the volcanic beaches, reef-diving sites, or the interior rainforest with its beautiful waterfalls.
Whether looking for romantic and peaceful seclusion, or a lively party, enjoy Valentine’s Day together in one of these Caribbean destinations.
