We crisscrossed the planet to find the best honeymoon-perfect resorts, beaches, all-inclusives and more for our first-ever Travel Awards.

Lackadaisical luxury and shoeless sophistication reign at family-owned Jake’s, an enclave of brightly colored, thatched-roofed cottages and villas perched at water’s edge. Touted as the real Jamaica, the affable hotel occupies a rambling beach on the island nation’s less-traveled southern side. The intimate resort helps embed you into local culture with bike rides through the countryside, chef led dinners at local farms, yoga overlooking the sea and one-on-one fishing forays with expert guides. Book into Octopus 3, painted the color of a violet bon bon, with a mosaic-adorned, outdoor bathtub, rooftop deck and outdoor perfect-for-star-watching day bed.
