Look No Further! These Are Montego Bay’s Best All-Inclusive Adults-Only Resorts

Nothing beats jetting off to a tropical destination for a couple’s vacation – especially when that destination is a picturesque Caribbean locale like Jamaica. It’s even better when you’re headed for an all-inclusive getaway where you’ll only need to figure out what to eat and when to drink once you arrive. Well, that and what you want to do first: bask in your luxurious abode or get out and explore the beautiful Caribbean island you’ve landed on.

Jamaica is ideal for couples’ vacations, especially in areas like Montego Bay where you can find some of the best all-inclusive adults-only resorts on the island. For example, Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Royal Caribbean, two gorgeous all-inclusive adults-only resorts in Montego Bay, Jamaica, provide an excellent opportunity for you to rekindle your romance in an intimate setting and enjoy a romantic couple’s vacation in paradise. The benefits of the all-inclusive experience and the adults-only concept include privacy and fewer interruptions (no kids running around!), which helps ensure that every single moment of your getaway is memorable.

Of course, there are lots more reasons why an all-inclusive adults-only vacation (particularly at a Sandals all-inclusive resort) may be right for you, so keep reading to find out!

What makes Sandals stand out for couples’ all-inclusive vacations?

Opportunities for romance, privacy, and intimacy

If ever there were the perfect reason to book an all-inclusive vacation, it would be for the kind of uninterrupted privacy that often comes with vacations of this type. Sandals caters strictly to adults, so the entire resort is yours to stay and play. You’ll interact with other couples during your stay, all with the same objective – making the most of a tropical vacation with an emphasis on romance!

Kid-free zone

Kids are amazing, but not necessarily when you’re trying to sink into a romantic vacation. As Sandals is an all-inclusive couples-only resort, your entire experience will be just about you and your other half… minus any screaming, tantrum-throwing kids you might have otherwise encountered!
Couples with kids (who’d prefer not to leave them behind) can find their own slice of paradise at a Beaches Resort, which focuses on family vacations and features certified nannies! There are two Beaches resorts in Jamaica: Beaches Negril and Beaches Ocho Rios.

Gourmet dining

The only thing that can top all-inclusive dining is Sandals' all-inclusive dining, which comes with lots of global cuisine served at the restaurants! Sandals makes it possible to enjoy a plethora of dining options in Montego Bay – Sandals Montego Bay has unlimited gourmet dining at 12 restaurants, while Sandals Royal Caribbean has 9 incredible dining options. To make things even more exciting, guests of Sandals Montego Bay have dining access to Sandals Royal Caribbean and vice versa (that’s 21 total dining options no matter which resort you choose)!

Stocked premium bars with premium spirits

Mediocre isn’t a word you’ll need to get familiar with ahead of your Sandals vacation in Montego Bay. This is something you will notice in the liquor department – Sandals makes a point of only serving premium brands of alcohol! Around the resort at the Sandals all-inclusive bars, and in every room (where you’ll find a stocked mini-bar), you can indulge in this tasty inclusion!

All accommodations are optimized for adult luxury and made for romance

Sandals' accommodation choices are truly “as unique as your love”, and you can discover this for yourself during a vacation of a lifetime in Montego Bay. The all-inclusive accommodations at Sandals were designed with romance in mind and you’ll find lots of options whatever your preference.

From the amazing rooms and inclusions to the friendly staff and welcoming ambiance, guests at Sandals can step unapologetically into a vacation where luxury is always included.

Secluded spots and fire pits for romantic rendezvous

There’s plenty of room at Sandals for you to feel like you’re on your own little island paradise. Find the nooks and crannies in your resort that can be your little world of romance, away from it all.

Settle in next to a fire pit that’s right beside the ocean and take in the stunning views, while keeping your toes warm as the temperature drops ever so slightly when evening comes around in Jamaica. You and yours can use this time to get to know each other on a deeper level, while you bask in the perfect and peaceful ambiance of the Caribbean.

Private candlelight dinners (optional)

Candlelight dinners are super romantic, but how can you really know until you’ve tried it out for yourself? These events might not necessarily be at the top of your priority list while at home, but while vacationing at an all-inclusive adults-only resort like Sandals, you should definitely consider sitting down to an all-inclusive candlelight dinner and reigniting your love.

Bonus! Top 5 places to visit while in Montego Bay

Ahead of your trip, look up some of the incredible things to do in Jamaica, in particular things to do in and near Montego Bay. The beaches are pretty stunning on this part of the island as well, so you can definitely take some time to sprawl out on a couple of the best beaches in Montego Bay. As you continue to put together your vacation itinerary, here are some other fun things you can get up to while in Jamaica:

1. Go river rafting on the Martha Brae

River rafting down the Martha Brae River is a sure thrill and not something you’ll want to miss out on while in Jamaica. Couples will love this tour as it literally takes you away from all the action and into a world where things slow down. You can really just enjoy the moment. The river is breathtaking and the guides are entertaining, which makes for the perfect excursion. As part of this tour, you’ll spend some time at the Rafter’s Village where you can find souvenir shops, a swimming pool, restrooms, a bar, and a tranquil picnic area.

2. White Witch Golf Course

Take your love of golf to the White Witch Golf Course while in Jamaica! As one of the best golf courses in Jamaica, this 18-hole course was designed by well-respected course architects Robert von Hagge and Rick Baril and is located within the 200-acre Rose Hall Estate. More seasoned golfers will appreciate the rolling terrain here, but even novices and spectators will love the stunning ocean views from certain vantage points at this location.

Expert tip: In Ocho Rios, Jamaica (just 90 minutes from Montego Bay), guests at Sandals Ochi and Sandals Royal Plantation can have the all-inclusive adults-only experience they desire, plus an awesome golf adventure! With complimentary green fees and free transportation to Sandals Golf & Country Club, you’ll truly have the best of both worlds.

3. Croydon Plantation

The Croydon Plantation is among the top attractions in Montego Bay if you’re looking for a dose of nature. You may also be able to learn a thing or two at this plantation about the history of Jamaica, and about coffee and pineapples, which are both grown at this site in the Catadupa Mountains of St. James. Some tours end with a delicious jerk chicken meal, which is more than enough reason to sign up for a tour!

4. Rose Hall Great House

Always wanted to explore a haunted house? You may get an opportunity to do just that in Jamaica by visiting the Rose Hall Great House. Many believe this estate, which dates back to the colonial era, is haunted by the ghost of Annee Palmer, also known as the ‘White Witch’. The locals sometimes refer to this property as the House of Horrors of Jamaica and have many scary tales to tell about the ‘White Witch’ herself. This doesn’t scare people out of going on tours here though – in fact, this tour has become so popular that, nowadays, there are trained actors on the property who get in on the fun by spooking anyone who lets their guard down!

5. Doctor’s Cave Beach

Montego Bay has, to its credit, some of the most incredible beaches in Jamaica. Doctor’s Cave Beach is one of the most talked about, and it has an intriguing history that will draw you in just as quickly as the alluring shades of blue water. For one thing, there was a time when many people believed that the water on this beach had healing properties – such that, you could be healed of whatever ailment you were suffering from simply dipping into it. Whether or not that is true, a dip at Doctor’s Cave Beach, named after its former owner who was a British osteopath, is still super refreshing!

Expert tip: There’s a restaurant, bar, washrooms, and a coffee shop on Doctor’s Cave Beach, so you’ll be all set to spend the day on these shores!
