On the untouched South Coast of beautiful Jamaica is the incredible settlement known as Whitehouse, which not only includes one of the most stunning resorts in the world, but is home to the exclusive and private Whitehouse Beach. Traditionally this area is known for its thriving fishing industry (which makes for some pretty extraordinary meals) but has recently created a romantic resort location for couples. This is especially wonderful for newlyweds, who can only expect the best from Whitehouse.
