By Lara Grant From OYSTER.COM

Looking to take a romantic getaway? A Caribbean vacation is undeniably sexy: Beautiful blue and turquoise waters; relaxing white-sand beaches perfect for strolling hand-in-hand; sunny weather that requires little clothing for covering up… From Jamaica to St. Lucia, various islands have resorts that are clearly geared towards couples. Considering amenities such as upscale spas with couples’ treatment rooms, comfy beds with scattered rose petals, and whirlpool tubs overlooking the ocean, the sexiness factor is readily apparent. Add in all-inclusive rates for dining and drinks, and you’ve got a romance-filled vacation where you won’t even need to leave the property. Including both rowdy, party-oriented hotels and intimate, quiet retreats, here are the 10 sexiest all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean.

Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa

Sandals is the epitome of a couples-only Caribbean mega-resort. With 11 restaurants, 373 luxurious rooms, and six pools, it’s expansive, and has ample to keep guests busy. The grounds of the resort are perfectly manicured and dotted with carved fountains and hidden gazebos, all set in lush, green gardens with many flowers in bloom. Other romantic touches include a set of fire pits with lounge chairs, lit up at night, and double hammocks along the beachfront area. There is scheduled entertainment every night that includes live music, dancers, karaoke, and events such as wine tastings and cocktail parties. This popular, upscale all-inclusive — with elegant rooms, to boot — is definitely dedicated to creating memorable, romantic getaways.

The Caves, Jamaica

Composed of 11 colorful gingerbread cottages, this uniquely stylish adults-only eco-boutique hotel is tucked away beside lush garden paths and dramatic seaside cliffs — where sunning spots are divided among private platforms. Doing away with in-room TVs, The Caves ups the romance in the form of outdoor showers, private candlelit dinners inside a cave, fresh cuisine, private whirlpool sessions, and some of the friendliest, most attentive service in Jamaica. Its adults-only policy and all-inclusive rates make it a particularly hassle-free choice for vacationing couples.

Parrot Cay and COMO Shambhala Retreat, Turks and Caicos

Accessed via a 30-minute boat ride from Providenciales, this 1,000-acre all-inclusive resort on a private island is the definition of tranquility. With an incredible infinity-edge pool, waterfront Balinese-style villas, doting service, and more than three miles of pristine beaches, it’s easily one of the most luxurious and romantic options in the Caribbean. The world-renowned COMO Shambhala Spa has nine treatment rooms that include a Japanese soaking tub, and additional spa features include a separate infinity-edge pool, his and hers whirlpools and steam rooms, a yoga pavilion, a Pilates studio, and a boutique — all with breathtaking views of the sea.

Waves Barbados

Thanks to competitive pricing, lovely rooms, and great on-site amenities, this 70-room boutique hotel will attract people who never thought they’d choose an all-inclusive package. With three restaurants, cabanas on the terrace, and a late-night lounge, Waves has a contemporary appeal especially for couples. Spacious rooms are modern and bright, and most have glass balconies (oceanfront rooms are worth the higher pricing for the sunsets alone), while modern bathrooms spawn envy with door-less showers and eco-friendly toiletries. The quiet beach along Prospect Bay feels private, and the calm waves are perfect for swimming and kayaking. A spa and adults-only pool, located across the street, are extra perks.

Fowl Cay Resort, Bahamas

Crowded beaches are unheard of at this private island resort where a maximum of 28 guests at a time have free range of 50 acres and three beaches. Personal boats for daily excursions, on-call service, spacious villas, and a host of all-inclusive activities make Fowl Cay a standout gem in the Exumas. A major component of each villa is the expansive kitchen, which is fully stocked with food and beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) that is replenished daily by your 24-hour island host.

Rendezvous Resort, St Lucia

Founded in 1966, Rendevous is an established upscale, all-inclusive resort that caters specifically to couples. Set on the shores of the white-sand Malabar Beach close to St. Lucia’s capital city, the 100-room resort is both intimate and grand. At Rendevous, it’s all about romance:.The Seaside Pool offers a swim-up bar and views of the ocean, but the more intimate pool by the spa is a clearer reflection of the resort’s overall vibe; sleek, white lounge chairs rest in the water, and bright blue modern lounge chairs are set in pairs (comfortably spaced from the others) around the pool’s edges. Hidden by a row of greenery behind the pool is the Lazy River, a meandering series of streams with private spots for couples to hide out in pod-like day beds.

Hedonism II, Jamaica

Designed for adventurous couples who want to add a bit of spice to their vacations, the all-inclusive Hedonism II is a popular mid-range nudist resort tucked into a quiet, private section of Negril’s Seven Mile Beach. With a wide variety of activities and entertainment, this adults-only resort encourages guests to explore their wild side and indulge themselves. There are both “prude” and “nude” sections of the resort to accommodate different comfort levels, and property highlights include the nude beach, waterslide, and a variety of pools and whirlpools on both sides.

Sandals LaSource Grenada

This 225-room luxurious all-inclusive, couples-only resort is one of the newest additions to the Sandals brand. It’s spread over a sprawling 17-acre property on the southwestern tip of the island, but all the main property features are centrally located, so it’s not difficult to find your way around. With five pools, a lovely spa and fitness center, numerous activities, and 10 restaurants, the resort ensures that couples won’t be at a loss for things to do. It’s romantic touches such as fire pits, gazebos, and swinging chairs on a pier looking out over the water that make the property distinctly Sandals.

Zoetry Agua Punta Cana

The Zoetry Agua is one of the most luxurious and tranquil all-inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic. Catering towards couples, the resort boasts an uncrowded white-sand beach, sleek, spacious suites, a pristine pool, and one of the Dominican Republic’s top spas. Included amenities — such as yoga classes, laundry services, top-shelf liquor, and even horseback riding sessions (one per guest) — are plentiful. A difficult-to-reach location and no kids’ club make it an ideal choice for those seeking a romantic and relaxing getaway.
