Discover the perfect honeymoon destination that celebrates your unique love story and creates memories to last a lifetime.

Your honeymoon should be as stress-free and unforgettable as your love story. With countless dreamy destinations across the globe, choosing the perfect spot can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve curated a list of honeymoon getaways tailored to every type of couple—whether you crave adventure, romance, or relaxation. Each destination offers a unique experience, ensuring your first big trip as newlyweds becomes a cherished memory that perfectly reflects who you are together.

Greece

There’s something elemental about the Greek islands — a kind of beauty that feels both timeless and otherworldly. Think whitewashed chapels glowing in the sun, stone paths that wind through olive groves, and skies so blue they blur the line between sea and heaven. Each island has its own rhythm: from the serenity of Spetses to the festive pulse of Mykonos, and the wild charm of Ikaria. But Santorini is where honeymoon dreams go to bloom. Its villages spill down volcanic cliffs in a cascade of blue-domed churches and sun-drenched terraces. From every perch, the view stretches across the caldera to the endless Aegean — and come evening, the sunsets turn the whole island to liquid gold

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Romance drips from every cliffside village along Italy’s Amalfi Coast — a sun-drenched stretch of Mediterranean charm where pastel towns cling to dramatic hills and winding roads open to sea-kissed panoramas. It’s the kind of place where time seems to slow down: fishing boats bob gently in hidden coves, lemon trees perfume the breeze, and even the busiest minds surrender to the rhythm of dolce far niente — the sweetness of doing nothing. While the beaches are inviting and the sea views unending, the real joy lies in exploring at leisure. Hire a vintage convertible and cruise from Salerno to Sorrento, taking in terraced vineyards, grand old villas, and panoramic views that demand frequent stops. Whether you’re sipping espresso in a sleepy piazza or watching the sunset paint Positano in gold, the Amalfi Coast has a way of making every moment feel cinematic.

Mauritius

Mauritius isn’t just a beach destination — it’s an adventure wrapped in luxury. Yes, the sands are as soft and white as postcards promise, and yes, cocktail service by cabana is a given. But there’s more here for the curious traveller. Inland, jungle-clad mountains beckon with hiking trails and rare wildlife, while off the coast, coral reefs invite you to snorkel, dive, or sail across sapphire waters. For those craving something offbeat, nearby Rodrigues and Réunion Islands offer rugged, untamed beauty with a touch of Creole culture. Whether you’re into five-star resorts or barefoot escapes, Mauritius effortlessly blends indulgence with exploration — perfect for couples seeking both rest and adventure.

Paris, France

Paris

There’s a reason they call it the City of Love. Paris doesn’t just seduce — it sweeps you off your feet. Meander through Montmartre’s cobbled lanes, share a bottle of wine under the Eiffel Tower, or simply lose yourselves in the rhythm of café life. Whether you’re museum-hopping or window-shopping, Paris manages to make even the mundane feel magical. What’s more, it’s accessible. For European couples or those looking to stay closer to home, it’s a honeymoon that doesn’t demand long-haul flights — yet delivers on every romantic cliché in the best way possible.

Napa Valley, California, USA

If your love language is wine and wanderlust, head to Napa. This Californian escape blends vineyard elegance with a laid-back countryside feel, offering couples a honeymoon that’s both indulgent and restorative. Rolling hills covered in vines stretch beneath golden skies, while cozy inns and farm-to-table restaurants dot the landscape. Beyond the wine tastings — though there are plenty — discover natural hot springs in Calistoga, art galleries in Yountville, or the charm of St. Helena’s historic downtown. Add in a side trip to San Francisco or the rugged coastlines of Big Sur, and you have a honeymoon that’s as well-rounded as a fine vintage.

Krabi, Thailand

Kick off your honeymoon in style as you are whisked away in a private limousine from Krabi airport to Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. A masterpiece of refined elegance, where your villa becomes your private sanctuary of romance. While candle lit dinner dates are a must on your honeymoon, with the help of your personal butler, surprise your partner with a romantic dinner where you are surrounded by the flickering light of 2,000 candles in the open-air Sala Srichan. Days unfold with tropical adventures, beach walks, jungle hikes, island-hopping, and even Muay Thai lessons. Evenings dissolve into blissful couple’s spa treatments, where the soothing rhythms of the Andaman Sea matches those of with expert massage techniques, leaving the two of you in a blissful state of relaxation.

Hungary

Budapest couple

Hungary as diverse as it is beautiful where cities are steeped in history and countryside full of folklore and charm. Hugging the banks of the Danube River, Budapest is home to the region’s best nightlife and stunning architecture. Beyond the city, the countryside unfolds like a fairytale – think lavender fields of Tihany rolling against the contrast of Lake Balaton, while the Sopron Wine District charms with its castles, cathedrals and cobblestoned streets. Stop for wine tasting and learn about the different types of wines and the region’s wine making traditions, and toast to your love in centuries-old vineyards.

Seychelles

While the temptation to do nothing more than laze under palm trees with locally crafted rum cocktails is very inviting, Seychelles helps find the perfect balance between relaxation and adventure. From snorkelling to diving, couples are spoilt for choice with options to explore the world underwater. The ultimate experience would be floating together in a glass-bottom kayak through the clear waters of Anse Source D’Argent, where granite boulders lend themselves as their quintessential honeymoon backdrop. For those who like a little bit of adventure, hike one of the many trails that lead to breathtaking views of the island and the islands nearby, or soak in the views while ziplining across the forest.

Bhutan

A perfect escape from the wedding whirlwind is getaway to the mighty mountains of Bhutan. With just 21 tented villas, Pemako Punakha in Punakha Valley is a luxurious haven where Bhutanese cultural elegance meets modern luxury. Whether you lounge on your expansive outdoor deck, take a dip in your private heated pool, or simply soak in the views of the valley, every moment is designed to be truly unforgettable. For a slow start to your day, indulge in a floating breakfast in your pool with valley views on the side and end it with intimate candlelit dinners by the calming riverside as you savour local cuisine while being serenaded by the gentle sounds of the river. 

Kenya

From the coast of Mombasa to peak views in Amboseli National Park, from the lakes to the breathtaking plains, Kenya has many identities as wild animals. Flamingo-dotted shores in Lake Nakuru National Park, or the Great Migration in Masai Mara, here, love stories are written against the most stunning natural canvas. The ultimate romantic experience? Hop on a private hot air balloon flight and watch the wild wildlife from up above and get a whole new sense of perspective on Kenya. And if you’re not quite done with Kenya’s wildlife? Snorkel with whale sharks off Diani Beach, windsurf in pristine waters, or sail traditional dhows at sunset.

Ras Al Khaimah, UAE

Looking for an offbeat, short-haul destination for a quick getaway? Consider Ras Al Khaimah, on the UAE’s coastline for your romantic retreat. With 300 meters of pristine white sand, this stunning coral-shaped island is as extraordinary as your love. Wake to floating breakfasts in your private pool villa at Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island, spend days floating at the waterpark, brunch at Ula Beach bar and later in the evening, take your love to new heights at the Neo Sky Bar, the island’s highest rooftop with stunning view.

Maldives

In the secluded embrace of Meemu Atoll in Maldives, is the Medhufushi Island Resort drifting between shimmering waters and powder-soft sands, suspended in a world where only the two of you exist. Find the comforts of home in spacious villas which come with a private sundeck and a traditional Maldivian swing, perfect for the two of you to catch every sunset. Their exclusive lagoon suites offer the ultimate seclusion, as the two spacious over-water suites are accessible only by boat. During the day, explore the waters- snorkelling, kayaking, surfing, jet-skiing – and embrace the rhythm of this island paradise. As the sun sets, the resort comes alive with performances by the resident band, starlit discos by the DJ and more.

Sri Lanka

For a little bit of everything, Teardrop Hotels curates a honeymoon symphony across Sri Lanka’s most enchanting landscapes. Begin at Wallawwa, where you indulge in spa treatments that melt away the wedding stress. Next is Camellia Hills which is nestled among tea plantations up in the hills, where private waterfall picnics and short rides across the mirror like Castlereagh reservoir on a fisherman’s canoe become part of your love story. End your journey at Fort Bazaar, a boutique property tucked within the UNESCO Galle Fort. Wander hand-in-hand through centuries-old streets, share sunset cocktails by the recently added pool, or sail into the sunset on a private cruise off Mirissa’s coast.
