Action and adventure are must-haves for today’s honeymooners. And a chance to experience favorite activities —  golf, kayaking, spa-ing — and new ones, such as scuba and stand-up paddle boarding, are tops for selecting your happily-ever-after resort. The couples-centric all-inclusive Sandals Resorts boast the most robust on-property selection of activities. All offer scuba and golf, in addition to unlimited water-and-land sports. We love the 245-room Sandals Emerald Bay not only for its romantic location on one of the Bahamas’ prettiest islands, but also for the fact that it’s home to one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated golf courses, designed by Greg Norman (room rates start at $362 person, per night and are all inclusive; sandals.com).
