Share a Sunset
Relax, pop a bottle of wine and set yourself on a beach while you wait for the sun to set over the ocean. If you’re nearest beach faces east, try waking up early one morning to catch a sunrise. Or, hey you’re on an island, you can do both in one day.
Set Sail
Hire a private boat or take a group charter to explore Jamaica’s coast by water. These romantic experiences often include drinks and sometimes dinner. Nighttime trips focus primarily on cruising while daytime trips focus on sightseeing and even can incorporate things like swimming and snorkeling.
Explore a Pristine Waterfall
Jamaica has several natural falls that are popular destinations to enjoy. Climb the cascading Dunn’s Falls, soak in the hot tubs at Mayfield Falls, float under the YS Falls or explore the remote Reach Falls.
Go Snorkeling
Explore the underwater world together with a snorkel trip to one of the many reefs that dot the northern coast. You could also try your hand at scuba diving if you want to learn a new skill together. Either way, who doesn’t love a whole day in a bathing suit with your significant other.
Walk the Beach Together
Enjoy each others company as you stroll hand in hand along one of Jamaica’s beautiful beaches. Spend time spotting shells, wading in the waters or sunning yourself in the sand.
Get a Couples Massage
Enjoy a couples massage together in one of the many spas in Jamaica. You don’t have to be staying in a resort to enjoy this activity either. There are many message parlors in towns and along the beaches. You’ll even find people set up with massage tables on some of the most popular beaches.
Enjoy Island Time
Jamaica lives up to “Island Time” – that is there is no such thing as on time in Jamaica. So fully embrace this cultural difference and ditch the watch for a day. Sleep in, lounge on the beach and in general have “no worries” while you let you cares slip away as you relax with the one you love.
Horseback riding
Take a romantic horseback ride along the beach with your special person. You can even find specially trained horses at several resorts that will swim in the ocean with you on their back.
Candlelit Dinner by the Sea
Arrange a romantic dinner at your resort or a seaside restaurant. Many restaurants and resorts even have private seating areas so you can enjoy a private dinner while the ocean washes to shore next to you. Make sure to book this in advance as the private dining experiences are often booked up in advance.
Take in the View From Lover’s Leap
Locals tell the tale of two runaway slaves who plunged to their deaths together from the cliffs at Lover’s Leap rather than being separated. It’s a super depressing tale of undying love. However, today you can see the lighthouse, take in the views from the cliffs and even see some live music certain days of the week.
Go Buff on the Beach
Enjoy the beach as god intended on one of Jamaica’s nude beaches. You’ll find these behind the walls of private resorts but even if you are not staying at a resort with a nude beach, you can pay a small fee to stay for the day. However, know that nudity on these beaches isn’t just allowed, it’s required.
Get Married, Engaged or Renew Your Vows
Jamaican beaches are the perfect place for a romantic moment that you will remember forever. Sunset, waves rolling in and sand between your toes are perfect for you if you want to elope or take a special night to renew you vows. For those of you visiting who aren’t married, this is a great spot to pop the question as well. Just don’t forget to pack your own ring.
As you can see there are plenty of romantic things to do in Jamaica for couples. This is an amazing place to explore both on and off the beach. If you’re still looking for additional ideas to fill your Jamaica vacation, check out our full list of fun things to do in Jamaica.
