Why Jamaica?

Jamaica has long been one of the most popular Caribbean destinations, and for good reason. First, despite how popular it is, because Jamaica is one of the larger Caribbean Islands, it still never feels crowded; in fact, there are stretches of beach that you may even have all to yourself. 

Second, Jamaica is beautifully diverse in a multitude of ways: Jamaica is home to some of the most serene and secluded beaches in the world, and at the same time, has a lively culture full of music, art and culinary delights. So, whether you’re in the mood to get away from it all and just relax on a picture-perfect beach, or you’re ready to find adventure within the rich culture and traditions of Jamaica, or some combination of everything, Jamaica has everything you could want on a perfect Caribbean Vacation!

But it’s not just a Caribbean Vacation we’re talking about for this month’s Inspiring Itinerary! It’s February! The month of Valentine’s Day! Time for that Romantic Getaway, and to warm up in the middle of Winter! 

Uh-oh, did Valentine’s Day sneak up on you again? Did you forget to plan something for your sweetheart? Not to worry! A Perfect Romantic Escape to Jamaica, complete with a stay at one of the island’s most exclusive All-Inclusive Resorts can still make the Perfect Gift! 

Who needs a little blue box when your sweetheart can open the promise of a romance-filled getaway? Or even, depending how spontaneous you and your sweetie are, be whisked away right then on Valentine’s Day (yes, it’s very last minute at this point, but miracles may still be able to happen, depending on your budget)! 

Your Favorite Love of the Magic Vacations Travel Advisor is ready to help you plan your Best Valentine’s Day Gift yet. And with the following Inspiring Itinerary to Jamaica, you and your sweetheart can enjoy the luxurious and romantic escape you deserve!

Let’s Go!

Day 1 

Jamaica’s popularity makes it an easy destination to travel to, with multiple airports and many flights available from locations all over the United States. And if you’re thinking that a bustling airport is not the most romantic way to start your vacation, you’re probably right, which is why you’ll be whisked away to a private lounge upon arrival, and you’ll be treated to high end service throughout the airport until you reach your private transfer to your Award Winning Luxury All-Inclusive Resort. 

This is just the beginning, since your Overwater Bungalow, with views of blue sky and even bluer sea, awaits you and your sweetheart! While Overwater Bungalows are now almost a staple feature on many islands in the Pacific, they are a rare and coveted luxury in the Caribbean, and definitely worth the splurge for your Romantic Escape. After your day of travel, what could be better than settling into your Overwater Bungalow, with the horizon stretching out in front of you, as you relax into Vacation Mode? Depending on your mood and energy level, you can order dinner right to your bungalow for your first night in, or choose from one of the Resort’s nine incredible Restaurant options. 

Day 2

Time to explore everything your gorgeous All-Inclusive Resort has to offer! One of the first things you’ll notice about your Resort is the Water, Water, Everywhere! From your own Bungalow, to the Overwater Restaurant, to the Overwater Bar, to the Overwater Wedding Chapel (more on this later, wink wink), to the swim up bars, to the two miles of golden sand beach stretched out in front of the Resort, the serenity of the famously blue Caribbean water is the natural focus, and instead of trying to compete with it, your Resort uses it as inspiration and features it in every way possible. 

With a myriad of water-themed activities, such as sailing, kayaking, water skiing, scuba diving, and so many more options, you and your sweetheart can choose what suits both of you best! Maybe, once upon a time, you learned to sail together and you want to relive those fond memories, or maybe you literally fell head over heels for each other when you first tried stand-up paddle boarding and wound up in the water more than on the paddle board, and want to rekindle those first flames. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to scuba dive, but never had the opportunity until now, so you take today to learn something new together! 

Whatever your choice, connecting with your sweetheart over familiar memories or learning something new will reinvigorate your relationship for sure! And once you’ve explored your Resort, and taken part in your activity of choice, you can relax on the beach or by the pool before heading to dinner at your preferred Restaurant!

Day 3 

While there’s plenty to do on property at your Resort, not to mention, of course, the views for days that can be gazed upon endlessly, one of the best parts of being in Jamaica is getting to experience the culture of the island. So today, you’ll be headed out to explore one of the beautiful waterfalls that the Caribbean is known for, as well as touring one of Jamaica’s most well-known distilleries, too!

Be sure to dress for the water, because your visit to YS Falls will include hiking around the seven levels of falls, until you reach the top pool for a refreshing dip among the lush garden surroundings. Soak up the healing elements of the falls as you and your sweetheart share this restorative experience together before moving on to your next stop, the Appleton Rum Estate. Here you’ll tour the famous Jamaican distillery, learning how perfect Rum is made, and then of course, you’ll get to sample a flight of blends before you leave! 

Once back at your Resort, you’ll have time to relax by one of the swim-up bars, or on your own bungalow deck overlooking the horizon before getting ready for dinner at your restaurant of choice for the evening. 

Day 4 

Now that you’ve reconnected with your sweetheart by doing an activity you love together, and exploring a new place together, today it’s time to relax together. Slip into Self-Care mode with side-by-side massages, and indulge in treatments that make you feel like your best self. Perhaps his and hers (or his and his/hers and hers) facials, or manicures and pedicures are in order to not only have you feeling your best on this Romantic Getaway, but also looking your best, too. 

Once your treatments are complete, allow the relaxing effects to linger as you lounge by the pool or on the beach, before getting ready for dinner at your preferred Restaurant. 

Day 5 

That Overwater Wedding Chapel I mentioned earlier? Today is the day you get to experience it up close and personal as you renew your Wedding Vows with your sweetheart! Setting this up will take a bit of advance planning, but your favorite Love of the Magic Vacations Travel Advisor can take care of everything for you, so that you can surprise your sweetheart with this incredibly meaningful expression of love. 

Your day at the Spa yesterday already has you looking and feeling your best, so you are free to spend your time today reminiscing with your sweetheart about your favorite love story: the one between the two of you! And depending what kind of vows you each want to say, you can take some time to write out some thoughts to share, though with no pressure for perfection, since it was a surprise after all. 

Then, with the horizon as your backdrop, and surrounded by the ocean in the Overwater Wedding Chapel, you’ll get to make promises to your sweetheart all over again, and celebrate your love in one of the most unique and breathtaking ways! Once your ceremony concludes, you get to celebrate with a private candlelit dinner under the stars, either on the beach or in an Overwater Gazebo perfect for two!

And when you return to your own Overwater Bungalow for the night, you’ll be greeted with a flower-petaled bed and champagne to keep the celebration going. 

Day 6 

No Wedding, or even Vow Renewal, is complete without a Honeymoon! So today will be yours to enjoy in the comfort of your bungalow, starting with Mimosas and breakfast in bed! Allow yourselves the whole day to languish in the love you share, and enjoy the connection you’ve strengthened both over the years, and over the last week together in this Caribbean Paradise. For dinner, you can order in to your bungalow, or have one last night out at your favorite Resort Restaurant.

Day 7

The bittersweet sting of the last day of vacation never gets easier; as always, you’re grateful for the time you’ve had, but sad that it’s already over. Hopefully this week’s celebration of love between you and your sweetheart made this Romantic Escape one neither of you will soon forget, as you head back into the throws of everyday life. Just remember, whenever you and your sweetheart need some extra connection, and some dedicated time and attention to each other, a piece of Caribbean Paradise, or French Polynesian Paradise, or Hawaiian Paradise, or even Parisian, Norwegian, or Icelandic Paradise is there waiting for you! And your Love of the Magic Vacations Travel Advisor can help you pick which piece of Paradise is perfect for you and your sweetheart next!
