Barbuda: Barefoot and Beautiful
Pink Sands, Solitude, and Caribbean Simplicity
If your ideal honeymoon includes walking hand in hand on pink-sand beaches, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, and spending your days in quiet solitude, then Barbuda may be your perfect match. Located just north of Antigua, this island remains blissfully underdeveloped, making it a true escape for couples who value privacy and raw natural beauty.
While nearby Antigua has the luxury resorts, Barbuda holds the magic of seclusion. There are no traffic lights, almost no crowds, and the coastline seems to stretch on forever with only you and your partner in sight.
The beaches here are wide, flat, and stretch for miles—and often, you’ll have them all to yourself. The 10-mile-long Princess Diana Beach is as romantic and serene as it gets.
Barbuda is home to the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, one of the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Explore the mangroves by boat and watch thousands of exotic birds in flight—a magical, only-in-Barbuda experience.
Here, everything slows down. There are no mega-resorts or packed beach clubs—just quiet, breezy cottages and the sound of the sea. It’s Caribbean simplicity at its most romantic.
