There is something on this list for everyone, regardless of your preferences: adventure seekers, snow bunnies, people who prefer to lie on a beach with a coconut, or foodies looking for the best meal of their lives. We've included some traditional honeymoon locations on this list, like Hawaii, Fiji, and Italy, but we've also noted some less-expected places, like Scandinavia and Montana. Most of the locations from this list can be explored with our Honeymoon Tour Packages.
Find the romantic honeymoon locations on the planet for this year right here.
1. Taormina, Sicily
Sicily offers the best of both worlds—both an island vibe and an Italian vibe. And any admirer of White Lotus will be aware of Taormina's breathtaking beauty and enchantment. If you want some unique enjoyment on your honeymoon then visit this place with our Honeymoon Tour Packages. The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily hangs directly off the toe of Italy's boot and crosses the continents of Europe and Africa. The incredible food isn't the only diverse thing, of course; there's also architecture, art, and historic ruins to discover. While you explore this storied region of the Mediterranean, set up camp in Taormina (we suggest a waterfront suite at the opulent Atlantis Bay).
2. Turks Caicos
Turks and Caicos is a massive collection of 40 islands in the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Bahamas. The coral islands, of which Providenciales is the most popular, are the definition of a tropical getaway because they have fewer residents than many of the island nations nearby, which helps to keep the countless dazzling-white beaches uncrowded. Reserve a stay at the incredibly private Amanyara, a posh resort perched on the edge of an 18,000-acre nature reserve. Private infinity pools, villas with ocean views, a wellness programme that could last at least a week, round-the-clock impeccable service, and unforgettable meals await you.
3. Greenough, Montana
The Green O is an adults-only, all-inclusive, high-design retreat owned by The Resort at Paws Up. While many couples may choose a full-on ranch-style vacation for a honeymoon in Montana, we highly advise you to book accommodations there with our Honeymoon Tour Packages. Guests at The Green O have access to all the outdoor activities (and the astounding 37,000-acre swath of land) that guests of the ranch have because it is conveniently located just down the road from Paws Up. But you and your partner can enjoy the best of both worlds: you can unwind in one of the 12 charming, modern "houses" on the property while dining at the Social Haus, where the establishment's award-winning chef prepares a nightly eight-course meal. There are plenty of activities (like horseback riding, ATV excursions, and cattle driving), fine dining opportunities, and romantic relaxation both inside and outside, whether you're staying for five days or two weeks.
4. Scotland
A honeymoon in the Highlands is a great idea whether or not you are an Outlander or The Crown fanatic. There is something for every taste between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow and the farther-flung wooded wonderlands like the Cairngorms, with lakes (lochs) and verdant alleys (glens) between. Even surfing is available, provided you are wearing a thick wetsuit. World-class golf can be played at The Machrie Hotel Golf Links on the island of Islay, which is also home to nine whisky distilleries. The opulent hotel The Balmoral, with its Michelin-starred Number One restaurant, is a pretty epic home base as far as bases go.
5. Japan
Japan balances its ancient heritage with the modern in its breathtaking cities and maintains a vast network of hikes and walks for those who prefer the outdoors. Japan is known for its natural beauty, sake, sushi, history, and culture. There are cat cafes, shrines, skiing, and a beautiful coastline. While Kyoto has more than a dozen UNESCO World Heritage Sites (plus the brand-new, breathtaking Aman Kyoto), Tokyo is a city that awakens all the senses (consider the opulent ryokan-style Hoshinoya Tokyo).
If you and your partner both are anime lovers then Japan is a great place to plan your honeymoon with our Honeymoon Tour Packages. The nation also has a popular group of tropical coral isles, including Okinawa, where Hoshinoya Taketomi Island offers a glimpse into traditional Japanese island life and the brand-new resort Halekulani Okinawa celebrates immersions in the local culture and natural world.
6. Mexico City, Mexico
The 2018 World Design Capital appeals to aestheticians, art enthusiasts, and couples who place a high value on dining out. With the explosion of its foodie, nightlife, gallery, and museum scenes over the past few years, Mexico City's appeal has only grown exponentially. The secret to enjoying renowned restaurants like Pujol, Sud 777, and Merkavá is to plan ahead (and get reservations). Top luxury hotel chains like St. Regis and Four Seasons have opulent outposts, and the gorgeously boutique Las Alcobas also offers the ideal place to cuddle up after splurging for hours on end.
7. Fiji
Is Fiji a more traditional island for a honeymoon? It's difficult to think of a better experience than hopping between five-star resorts on one of the 300+ islands in the South Pacific, each of which is home to white sand, palm trees, mountains, and blue lagoons. Visit the adults-only Tokoriki Island Resort Fiji for a taste of heaven on earth. This remote location is the pinnacle of romance. In one of the 36 free-standing beachfront villas with impeccable Fijian design and ocean-facing infinity pools, guests can feel right at home in the centre of this South Pacific paradise. This is a great option to book your trip with Honeymoon Tour Packages if you want a relaxing honeymoon. The honeymoon of a lifetime includes nightly champagne and fresh seafood, lots of chances for romance (like dinner on the resort's own jetty), and an award-winning immersive spa.
8. Morocco
Do you and your partner both have a keen interest in the world? If so, a standard beach vacation won't be a good option for you. Consider travelling to a far-off country like Morocco. You can enjoy mouthwatering cuisine, hold hands as you make your way through the maze-like souks, watch storytellers and musicians perform, and take in the breathtaking architecture and design in Marrakech, a mediaeval walled city built during the Berber era. In the stunning city of Fes, you have a choice of staying like a king at the opulent pink Amanjena or going a little more traditional at the swank Riad Fes. Essaouira is the most charming seaside village with camels on the beach and plenty of winding cobblestone paths to explore, and Richard Branson's Kasbah Tamadot is a gorgeous home base for hiking the Atlas Mountains.
9. The Amalfi Coast, Italy
The Amalfi Coast remains at the top of honeymooners' wish lists for a variety of reasons. Positano's steep village streets, Moorish buildings, azure water, and vibrant loungers and umbrellas lining the sandy beaches make for a particularly romantic setting. At the five-star Le Sirenuse, where the recipe for a seductive, affluent getaway is tried and true, glamour is effortless. Italy is a city of glass, art and money, that’s why it is the number one option to visit with our Honeymoon Tour Packages.
10. Tel Aviv, Israel
Tel Aviv is perhaps more unexpected than it should be as a honeymoon destination with its Mediterranean coastline bathed in sunshine and its cosmopolitan status. It has beaches, a thriving nightlife, delicious food—often served at outdoor cafes—a lively waterfront promenade, and the striking White City, a neighbourhood with striking Bauhaus-style buildings from the 1930s. You can watch the sunset from the rooftop cabana of the Carlton Tel Aviv.
11. Rwanda
If going on a honeymoon adventure of a lifetime is what you're after, Rwanda's gorilla trekking trip, complete with stays at utterly divine lodges, should be at the top of your list. Wildlife safaris almost always change people's lives, but seeing gorillas in their natural habitat up close is an entirely different experience. Near the historic rainforest of Volcanoes National Park, Bisate Lodge and Singita Kwitonda Lodge pamper guests and provide more active experiences than a newlywed couple could possibly experience. Magashi Camp in Akagera National Park provides visitors with the opportunity to view lions' feelings of pride and black rhinos. The Retreat at Heaven is a resort-style lodging option in Kigali that also offers enlightening artisanal and cultural tours.
