An easy, all inclusive choice for couples who want the planning handled and the celebration on the beach.
The private offshore island is the signature, a short ferry from the main resort with its own beaches and dining.
It is being refurbished and reopens under a new name, so confirm the date, the spaces and the packages first.

A beach resort, a private island and easy planning.
Style and setting
Sandals Royal Caribbean is an adults only, all inclusive resort on the coast near Montego Bay, on the north shore of Jamaica. Its signature is a private offshore island, a short ferry ride from the main resort, with white sand beaches, cabanas, a freshwater pool and its own dining. The style is relaxed beach resort rather than estate or villa, built around couples and an easy, inclusive stay.
Capacity and spaces
As a resort, Sandals hosts weddings of varying sizes across beach, garden and the offshore island settings rather than from a single ballroom. Numbers depend on the chosen space and the package. The private island in particular offers a memorable ceremony spot. Because spaces and names may change with the refurbishment, confirm the current options and capacities with the resort.
Dining and the celebration
The all inclusive model covers dining across the resort, including restaurants on the private island reached by ferry. A wedding here typically pairs a beach or island ceremony with a reception dinner and the wider resort experience for guests across a multi night stay. Discuss the package inclusions and any upgrades directly with the resort.
What it costs
Sandals sells weddings as packages layered onto an all inclusive stay, so the cost is driven by the room category, the number of nights and the wedding package chosen rather than a single venue hire fee. A destination wedding here is a considerable spend once the stay, the package and guest rooms are combined. Treat figures as indicative and request current package pricing directly from the resort.
