For the ultimate in over-the-top romance and service, many of the archipelago's most beautiful islands have been transformed into private island resorts—remote paradises with lavish villas and beaches you can have all to yourself.
Peter Island
The 1,800-acre private resort Peter Island has 52 suites and five beaches. Honeymoon Beach, where a champagne picnic under a thatched umbrella awaits, is an absolute must-visit. West Indian honey scrubs in the spa, yacht charters, wine tastings and the sophisticated Caribbean eatery Tradewinds complete the pampering experience (room rates start at $610 a night and include meals; peterisland.com).
Guana Island
The eco-sensitive Guana Island is a wildlife preserve filled with red-legged tortoises, bananaquits and sphere-toed geckos. Hike amid wild orchids, frolic on any of seven beaches and explore caves on this 850-acre island. After sundowners on the Queen's Terrace, tuck into dishes such as conch chowder and poached grouper in a Creole sauce. The island resort's 16 cottages have no TVs or phones, so you can completely unplug (room rates start at $695 a night and include all meals, some activities and round-trip airport transfers; guana.com).
Scrub Island
Recently opened, the resort not only boasts fab strands, but also a lagoon-style pool with a waterfall and swim-up bar. Book day trips to uninhabited cays from its full-service marina. Guest rooms come with teak furniture, stone floors and sea-facing verandas (room rates start at $299 a night; scrubisland.com).
