What is it about Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort that brings the romance factor a step above the rest? First and foremost, it’s an adults-only resort, so you won’t be interrupted by screaming children while you’re enjoying the peace and quiet of each other’s company. And with only 104 boutique rooms, you won’t be in crowded company. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort isn’t only reserved for heterosexual couples and is proudly an LGBTQIA+-friendly resort. It also caters to large groups, making it a note that only one table in their restaurant can accommodate a group of six and the rest are for parties of two.
Speaking of the on-site restaurant, you and your loved one can dine from one of the resort’s four cabanas, with seating at 6:00 p.m. (sunset seating) and 8:30 p.m. (moonlight seating). Since Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is not an all-inclusive resort like many on the island, this service costs $195.74 per couple. That’s not the only curated romantic experience the resort offers. There are also couples massages, sunset catamaran tours, stargazing with a nightcap, white-glove Champagne service, and a “honeymoon like a celebrity arrival” package.
