This Valentine's Day, jet off to Jamaica and spend the most romantic day of the year on the island of 'One Love'. With more direct flights than ever before, Jamaica makes the perfect place for sweethearts looking to discover one of the world's most romantic destinations. Whether couples are looking to get away from it all by experiencing the ultimate in luxury, or wish to experience some of the island's stunning natural wonders, the island will capture the hearts of all visitors this February.
Unforgettable Valentine's Day Experiences
Spend Valentine's Day on a Horseback Riding Excursion
Lovers looking for an unforgettable adventure can throw away the saddle and ride bareback on horses through the inviting waters of the Caribbean Sea. This incredible experience takes riders through thelapping sapphire waves as the horses gently swim, allowing riders to see the island from a whole new perspective. The ride also allows visitors to get off the beaten track as they follow some of Jamaica's stunning rural, country trails. To bring the romantic excursion to a close, couples can head back to land and take in the spectacular Jamaican sunset whilst sipping a chilled glass of champagne. The exclusive Sunset Horseback Ride N' Swim Valentine's offer is available at Chukka Sandy Bay and other Chukka Caribbean locations and costs £52 per person when booked online. For more information, visit Chukka Caribbean.
Pay a Visit to Jamaica's Natural Wonders
Jamaica has many awe-inspiring features, one of which is its natural wonders. Couples can choose to explore the stunning Blue Lagoon in Port Antonio, an enchanting spot fed by fresh water from a mineral spring. A romantic boat ride will reveal the breathtaking waters with its changing turquoise shades, and vistas made famous by the movie The Blue Lagoon, featuring Brooke Shields.
Jamaica's stunning Blue Mountains, which gain their name from the mist that covers them and makes them appear a wonderful shade of blue, is the perfect destination for adventurous couples. Early-risers can indulge in a moon-lit trek to the peak at 7,402 feet guided by torch light and the moon until the sun begins to creep through the canopies. The Blue Mountains offer views from the highest point in Jamaica, giving a bird's eye view of Buff Bay and Port Antonio's Navy Island to the North, and Kingston, Portmore and the St Thomas coast to the south. Couples may even be able to spot the shadowy outline of Cuba, 90 miles to the north on a clear day.
No romantic trip to Jamaica would be complete without walking hand in hand along one of the island's white sand beaches. The island offers countless miles of sandy stretches, crystal clear waters and secret coves, with the world-famous Seven Mile Beach in Negril topping many visitor's lists.
