The Caribbean's breathtaking beaches, intoxicating culture and tropical allure have beckoned travelers with refined taste and laidback preferences. With a vast array of islands to explore (over 7,000 total), it's no surprise that there are countless world-class Caribbean all-inclusive resorts for couples seeking a dreamy escape. Whether you're looking for a private island for relaxing, the finest cuisine to indulge in, or the most exhilarating water sports, we've rounded up the best Caribbean all-inclusive resorts (and five-star options with all-inclusive packages) for couples.
Jumby Bay Island, Antigua
Perfect for the couple who has already been everywhere, Jumby Bay Island is a pristine private island resort in Antigua that is surprisingly accessible from most parts of the US. If you're looking for a Caribbean getaway that feels even more far flung than it actually is, choose Jumby Bay Island. This Antigua all-inclusive resort whisks you away from the mainland via the property's private catamaran. Everything you could ever want is included in the rate, such as meals, alcoholic beverages, water sports like water skiing and kayaking, a kids club and other activities. We hear that Moët & Chandon is the house Champagne, so it's safe to say guests are in for a real treat.

Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos
For the foodie couple, Pine Cay in the Turks and Caicos must be added to the list. A Relais & Chateaux property on a private island, this is a place where the only thing in sight is white sand, blue skies and even bluer water. As a high-end hotel that is also all-inclusive, this property checks a lot of boxes for most travelers. They call their all-inclusive rates "island-inclusive rates," which include all meals, snorkeling trips, water sports, activities, free Wi-Fi throughout the property and plenty of extras. The best part? You will rarely run into another guest because there are only 12 rooms, and each comes with their own dedicated beach chairs and palapas so no rushing to the beach at 6 a.m. to claim a spot.
