If you are able to afford it, go honeymoon in Barbados. That is exactly what Tiger Woods did in 2004 when he wanted to marry girlfriend Elin Nordegren beyond the prying eyes of paparazzi.

For the couples who are willing to pay for their privacy, Barbados is the ideal place. The island has some of the eastern Caribbean’s most acclaimed hotels and restaurants, remaining at the same time far enough off the beaten track. The isolated getaway tourist spots like the coconut-palm fringed Bottom Bay on Barbados’ west coast are ideal for the couples who want to be isolated, but not too isolated; who desire privacy, but comfortable, luxurious kind of privacy.

The Sandy Lane resort for example. It will offer you most friendly service without the minimum of intrusion. The staff in the hotel will fill your room with the flowers of your choice, arrange custom dinners on the terrace of your suite or on the beach; but you will never see them when you don’t want to see them.

The lush Colony Club in St. James parish on the west coast of Barbados will provide for you luxury poolside rooms, with French windows opening onto the inviting pool and the fresh water swimming lagoons.

There are many such resorts, hotels and restaurants in Barbados that are alluring enough to draw the well to do couples to their intimate privacy and rich luxury.
