The Most Affordable Sandals Resorts for a Honeymoon
Planning a honeymoon can be both exciting and daunting, especially when trying to balance luxury and affordability. Even though Sandals Resorts aren’t necessarily cheap, it is more than possible to find affordable options that are convenient & let’s be honest - you get what you pay for… So, if you’re dreaming of a romantic getaway that offers top-notch quality, Sandals Resorts might be just what you need. Known for their luxurious all-inclusive packages and stunning locations, Sandals offers several resorts and some even cater to budget-conscious honeymooners. On average, expect the cost of a Sandals vacation to end up somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000 for a 7-night stay, per couple (two adults) - excluding flights. But remember: Airport transfers, unlimited (alcoholic) drinks and meals are included in your stay, so you don't have to worry about carrying your wallet around (and you also don’t have to worry about tipping). Here’s a guide to the most affordable Sandals Resorts and some handy tips to make the most of your honeymoon budget.
Sandals Ochi Beach Resort, Jamaica
Located in the heart of Ocho Rios, Sandals Ochi Beach Resort is a fantastic option for couples looking for an affordable yet lavish honeymoon experience. The resort boasts 16 restaurants, 11 bars, and a vibrant nightlife scene with lively entertainment. You can enjoy complimentary water sports, scuba diving, and golf, making it a great value for your money. My favorite part? The speakeasy!

Sandals South Coast, Jamaica
For couples seeking a blend of adventure and relaxation, Sandals South Coast in Jamaica is an excellent choice. Nestled within a 500-acre nature reserve, this resort features stunning overwater bungalows, but you can also find affordable room options without sacrificing the resort’s unique charm and luxury. My favorite part? It has one of the largest swimming pool I’ve ever seen!

Sandals Regency La Toc, St. Lucia
Who doesn’t love St. Lucia with their half-moon-shaped beach, lush hillsides, and dramatic cliffs. Sandals Regency La Toc offers a taste of the high life with its elegant rooms and breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. While it features some high-end accommodations, it also has more affordable options that still include all the luxury benefits Sandals is known for. What I love about the Sandals in St. Lucia, is that you have access to the other two Sandals resorts for free so you really get three resorts in one - you’ll have plenty to explore and there’s no way you’ll ever get bored.
