The legendary Half Moon is so famous that even Prince Harry has stayed there. While Jamaican honeymoons are more than just beautiful beaches, the two-mile crescent-shaped beach is perfection and it’s hard to imagine he could have missed the 68,000-square-foot spa, complete with a lagoon pool, yoga pavilion, and overwater treatment rooms that give couples the pleasure of a little aquatic eye candy with their pampering therapies.

The 210 glamorous rooms and suites plus 27 villas almost all have views of the striking Caribbean and are separated into three distinct areas. Eclipse at Half Moon, the newest, is best for couples, with expansive outdoor living spaces and some outdoor showers, too. The property-within-a-property boasts the refined Italian Delmare, Lester’s Bar, and Sugar Mill, which has a unique twist on traditional Jamaican cuisine. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Jamaican honeymoon without water sports, wellness experiences, an infinity pool, and one-of-a-kind excitement like swimming with horses, plus access to an 18-hole championship golf course.

If James Bond were to go on a honeymoon it might look a little something like GoldenEye, since this exclusive Caribbean retreat on Jamaica’s north coast is where author Ian Fleming penned his 13 iconic novels. The 52-acre property is where literati and glitterati have holidayed over decades, making it an iconic place to spend a week snorkeling on Fleming’s favorite reef, paddleboarding from private docks, and throwing back cocktails as the sun sets at Firefly, rumored to be Captain Morgan’s lookout.

There’s an epic spa called The Field, immersed in a jungle-y environment beside a bright blue lagoon, with new standalone spa huts and a yoga deck plus healthy bites and elixirs from owner and music producer Chris Blackwell’s private farm. The cuisine on property hits high marks, too, with its perfect blend of Caribbean flavors and tropical ingredients. When it’s time to cozy up in bed, there’s a five-bedroom villa plus a collection of beachy chic cottages in stumbling distance to the lagoon or sand.

On a breathtaking 110-acre peninsula west of Montego Bay sits a little slice of paradise, which has played host to A-list actors and world leaders. A major draw? The 36 crisp, nautical-chic, Ralph Lauren-designed guest rooms give way to seriously stunning seascapes from large windows. There is also a collection of rooms, suites, and larger private villas with private pools from which to choose.

Start with a rum punch and take your time with decisions such as whether to play tennis, hang around on the white-sand beach, or maybe float in the warm sea while tropical fish swim by. Work up a sweat in a pedal boat a deux, sail in the Hobie Cat, and learn to scuba dive. There are couples' massages to indulge in and candlelight dinners to cap off picture-perfect sunsets. Speaking of, the culinary offerings are a seriously great reason to get out of bed. The James Beard-winning executive chef oversees several options morning to night that encompasses moonlit dinners, a wood-fired grill, and barefoot evenings of Jamaican fare surrounded by torches.
