While the masses wax romantic with candy and roses, we believe this infamous sweetheart’s day is best spent with the sand between your toes and a rum punch in your hand. Where better than the Caribbean to spend complete seclusion with the one you love? Here are five ideal escapes to consider.

Gustavia Hill, St. Barts

Gustavia Hill is perfect for honeymooners who seek privacy, but enjoy island activity. Its close to restaurants and shopping, yet tucked far enough away to serve as an ideal couples hideout. This villa also boasts a private pool, exterior shower, and daily maid service.

Ballyhoo Cottage, Turks and Caicos

Few things can be more romantic than your own quaint beach cottage. Located on pristine and remote Grace Bay Beach, Ballyhoo Cottage is great for that low-key couples-only vacation youve always imagined. Fill the days with cocktails in your personal beach hammock or kick back in your private swimming pool. Feel like dining out? Ballyhoo is within walking distance of six different restaurants.

Fletchs Cove, Anguilla

The casual lure of Anguilla is perfectly reflected in this rustic and comfortable villa. Its Mexican inspired decor blends beautifully with the island surroundings. Guests enjoy complete seclusion here, too. So much so, you can sunbathe in the nude on the villas pool deck. Just steps away, calm waves lap the secluded beach, and the barrier reef one mile off shore offers great snorkeling opportunities.

If you want to completely get away from it all, get in your 4-Wheeler and trek up to Mooncottage. This lush mountain escape offers expansive vistas of Coral Bay below, as well as Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Norman Island. This forest hideaway includes your own gourmet kitchen and a private pool.
