Destination: Jamaica
If your fantasy involves pirates, then The Caves is the place for you. There's no beach, instead guests plunge directly into blue waters. The most romantic dinner -- a table for 2 inside a cave, lit by twinkling lights with the night stars reflected on the water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want it all? Beach, golf, tennis, horseback riding and children's programs, then Half Moon is your perfect landing spot. There's a killer spa and morning yoga too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A jet will fly you straight to Montego Bay in less than 4 hours from the East Coast.
I love a Dark & Stormy -- that's rum & tingly ginger beer for the uninitiated -- but as much as it's one of the landmark drinks of Jamaica, it conjures up only sunny days for me. If your idea of romance is a lovely beach at sunset, fine rum or a Red Stripe, great food and a laid-back vibe, Jamaica waits for you.
There's history, culture and sustainability too. The luxe Goldeneye was once the home of Ian Fleming and he penned a number of his sexy James Bond thrillers here. If you're lucky enough to take over the Fleming Villa, you can even sit at his desk. There's a recording studio too, and Sting retreated here to write, "Every Breath You Take." Think cottages perched over beach or lagoon, with sexy outdoor showers and beds with a view.
