Santorini, Greece
Santorini, the Greek island located in the Aegean Sea, is probably one of the most romantic places in the world with its whitewashed cave houses built into cliffs, cobalt blue domed cathedrals, and its black and red sand beaches, not to mention the beautiful sunsets over the Aegean, bathing the sea and the sky in shades of orange and pink.
You may be experiencing Santorini more than ever before in a painting. Your digs should not disappoint – stay in a luxury cave villa perched high on the cliffside with panoramic views of the Caldera and the scattered volcanic islands glimmering in the Aegean sea. Book a couples’ spa treatment in a volcanic rock-cut spa, and schedule a private sunset sail with champagne.
Go down to Oia every night to see the sunset from the ruins of the castle, and then walk 300 steps down to the bay of Ammoudi where you can head out to dinner on the dock of one of the fish tavernas on the seafront, eating that day’s catch and watching the stars. And spend your nights with your beloved, wrapped in each other’s arms in your private plunge pool in your villa.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
If you imagine a tropical island with sky-blue water, white sand, palm trees, and green jagged peaks darting up from the surf, then Bora Bora in the South Pacific is it.
This jewel in the South Pacific is the place to go if you’ve always dreamed of staying in an overwater bungalow. These huts built on wooden stilts with glass flooring offer a perfect view of tropical fish swimming below, and you can relax on your private deck, stepping down the ladder into the lagoon.
Swim with manta rays and blacktip reef sharks on a half-day snorkeling trip; tour the lagoon by jet ski; or stroll around the palm tree-covered islet of Motu Tapu. Have a couples’ massage in your over-water bungalow; or get up close and personal with sharks on a romantic shark feeding experience.
Abundant with probing ideas, this brochure invited you to sit on the sandy beach. Hang on to hindrances When the sky hangs heavy with crimson sunset, duck your toes into your coconut and then tippy-toe to your starlight bungalow – Bora Bora and your other half just can’t be more sutiable to each other.
Venice, Italy
Venice is the classic destination for honeymoons. Mazing hand in hand through the maze of its alleys, discovering secret cafés and finding unexpected piazzas was a joy.
A trip is not complete without taking a gondola ride, gazing at 14th century palazzos floating by in the comfortable darkness and whispering silence along the Grand Canal; visiting the island of Burano with its painted houses and Murano, home to glass-blowing; visiting St Mark’s Square and the Bridge of Sighs at night when summer crowds are past.
Stay in a palazzo hotel full of old world decadence with frescoed walls, four poster beds and views over the gondola-littered canals towards St. Mark’s Campanile. Have long, leisurely lunches of wine and fresh seafood overlooking the waterways, and then snuggle up for a long afternoon tryst. Venice gets to you; there’s no fighting it.
Maui, Hawaii
If you’re after an adventure-filled exotic honeymoon on a subtropical island, travel to Maui: it has wide beaches of fine white sand, massive sea cliffs, green rainforest, and lush five-star resorts and spas.
Stay in Wailea, a collection of papered-over resorts. Hang by the ocean, near teal pools under fronded trees, with a frozen pineapple daiquiri. Drive the Road to Hana – a day-long journey of the best tropics, through the wilds of Maui’s north shore verdant with tropical rainforest and stops at red sand beaches and waterfalls. Hike to see the sunrise atop Haleakala volcano before bike-skiing down through lunar landscapes.
And while exploring Maui’s incredible natural beauty is a great adventure together, there are also world-class romantic spas and resorts should you and your partner decide you’d like to just spend a few days enjoying some rich pampering. Maui is one of those rare destinations where it is possible to have an adventurous honeymoon or be completely pampered for the duration of your trip, and everything in between.

Kyoto, Japan
If you are planning a honeymoon and want something with history and culture, not to mention plenty of gardens and tourist attractions, then Kyoto is for you. Japan’s capital for more than 1,000 years, Kyoto is full of temples and shrines, castles, and other traditional buildings.

Experience Japanese tea ceremony for a true one-on-one immersion. Roam the ancient mossy grounds of temples like Kinkakuji and Ginkakuji that date back centuries.
Stay in a restored Machiya townhouse and enjoy Japanese ryokan hospitality, sleeping on futons and sitting in communal baths (or book into one of the swanky new luxury hotels with private onsen), and end each day at a Michelin-starred kaiseki (a multicourse dining experience, during which the elaborately prepared dishes are served in very small portions). Kyoto knows how to cater to couples on honeymoon with ancient traditions.

The Amalfi Coast offers mouthwatering food and wine, fabulous scenery and the dolce vita lifestyle: stunning cliffs and pastel painted villages frame the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean.
Stay in picturesque Positano or Ravello, and devote your days to meand withdrawn hill towns along cliff-hugging highways and skinny cobbled footpaths, taking one-person-deep ferry boats out to tucked-away coves and sea caves, or whizzing down the rotation-creating switchbacks of the Amalfi Coast highway, stopping at one viewpoint after another.
