With the final two episodes of The Bachelor’s new season set on the beautiful Caribbean island of Antigua, there’s plenty of opportunity for guests to recreate a romantic Caribbean break themed around the popular hit TV show.
Guests can feel like a celebrity at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa, the filming location for the finale – where romance is always the top priority. Couples can follow in the footsteps of The Bachelor’s celebrity host, Mark Wright and the eligible Bachelor himself, Alex, whilst basking in the Caribbean sun, swimming in turquoise waters and experiencing an unparalleled level of luxury at the Five-Star Luxury Included (all-inclusive) resort.
Set on a stunning stretch of Dickenson Bay - known for its tranquil waters and white sand, couples can have their very own romantic date night and enjoy a private candlelit dining experience* under the stars at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa, just like the setting filmed for Alex and one of the female finalists’ dates at the 5* couples-only resort.
Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa is consistently voted ‘The Caribbean’s Most Romantic Resort’ year on year, and couples can enjoy the same level of romance during their stay as the Bachelor did. Options include staying in a luxurious Love Nest Butler Suite® which was featured in the series - the Mediterranean One Bedroom Butler Villa with Private Pool Sanctuary was the location used for one of the Bachelor’s final dates, featuring stunning views of Dickenson Bay from a private patio complete with its very own private pool sanctuary and whirlpool.

For another taste of luxury, couples could opt to stay in The Bachelor’s very own Love Nest Butler Suite®, the gorgeous Caribbean Beach Front Butler Rondoval which offers direct access to the beach, a soaring 20-foot conical ceiling and the services of a personal butler, complete with 24-hour room service. Alternatively, guests can simply choose to relax in the tranquil surroundings of the resort’s Reflection Pool, which was used as one of the settings filmed at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa.

When it comes to fine dining, guests can also sample delectable dishes at Sandals Grande Antigua’s wide selection of restaurants including trendy Soy, the resort’s own sushi restaurant which featured in The Bachelor. With intimate dining booths, romantic lighting and delicious Japanese cuisine, this is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner for two, as Alex discovered on one of his dates.
Just like celebrity host Mark Wright, guests can choose to hop aboard a Sandals’ sail boat and set off around the island for the chance to snorkel amongst clear blue waters and view the tropical Caribbean island from a far, including Antigua’s best and most famous beach, Dickenson Bay. Mark also visited popular tourist spot, Shirley Heights during his stay at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa – an idyllic location for a sundowner cocktail with spectacular views over both English and Falmouth Harbours.
Those who are looking to get out and explore a little more of Antigua can do so easily with Island Routes Caribbean Adventure Tours. With Island Routes, guests of Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa can visit a number of different spots around the island where scenes from The Bachelor were filmed, including swimming with stingray at Stingray City and trying a hands-on Caribbean cooking class at Nicole’s Table.
Alternatively, those visiting the island on holiday can even head down to watch the unbeatable sunset and walk along the powdery white sand at Fort James beach, another filming location used for this season of The Bachelor.
*Candlelight dinners are not included as part of the Sandals Resorts Luxury-Included programme and are charged at a supplement of $199 USD.
