1. Hammock Cove Resort in Antigua

Perfect For: Luxury, romantic, adults-only getaway.
Type: Adults-Only, All-Inclusive

Hammock Cove is incredibly romantic with all the luxury touches ideal for a romantic getaway. With only 42 villas, this boutique resort is perfect for couples looking to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with one another in paradise. The food is phenomenal and the rooms are so nice you’ll never want to leave! I mean, look at those views from your own private plunge pool. If you have to have a perfect, pristine beach, my recommendation is to head to Sandals Grande Antigua instead. But if you are looking for the best food, truly top-shelf liquor, and luxury accommodations, Hammock Cove Resort & Spa is the spot for you. Click here to learn more about Hammock Cove Resort.

2. Cocos Hotel – One of the Great Resorts in Antigua

Perfect For: Couples looking for a rustic, romantic feel.
Type: Couples-Only, Adults-Only, All-Inclusive

Cocos Hotel is an adults-only resort, specifically for couples looking for a more rustic, private, romantic vacation. The resort itself is perched on a cliffside, so all rooms have gorgeous private views of the ocean, but it does take climbing some hills to get to your room. It is on the sunset side of the island, too, so if you’re one who loves a good view, Cocos Hotel is for you. There are only 35 quaint wooden cottages, so this boutique resort is as private as it gets.
