Couples Sans Souci

Set along the shores of Ocho Rios, Jamaica, Couples Sans Souci pairs Caribbean diving with the intimate, couples-focused spirit that has defined the Couples Resorts name for decades. It traces its roots to founder Abe Issa, who opened Jamaica's first year-round resort—Tower Isle Hotel—in 1949 and, in 1978, pioneered the all-inclusive concept for couples on the island, blending luxury, romance and value under one roof.

Diving in Ocho Rios

As a PADI Resort, the dive centre offers PADI scuba diving in the waters off Ocho Rios, making it a natural fit for couples who want to share time beneath the surface. Whether you're new to the sport or looking to log dives together, the PADI framework provides a familiar path to explore the local underwater world.

Still very much a family business—today led by Abe's son Lee and other members of the Issa family—Couples Resorts owns and operates five all-inclusive boutique resorts across the Caribbean, four in Jamaica and one in Barbados, each carrying that same genuine, casual-yet-chic Jamaican character.
