You’ve said “I do”—now it’s time to set off on your first big adventure together. Whether you're craving a toes-in-the-sand escape, a countryside retreat, or a city full of charm, this list is full of beautiful places to rest, explore, and celebrate your new chapter. Think dreamy stays, unforgettable meals, and meaningful moments made just for two.

1. Santorini, Greece
Perched on volcanic cliffs and washed in golden sunsets, Santorini is a postcard come to life. Stay at Canaves Oia for private plunge pools and caldera views, then wind down your days with Mediterranean meals and wine on a sailing tour through the Aegean.

2. Bora Bora, French Polynesia
The overwater bungalow moment? It lives here. Four Seasons Bora Bora is the stuff of honeymoon dreams—with glass floors, ocean breezes, and world-class snorkeling right at your doorstep.

3. Maldives
For couples who want seclusion with a splash of barefoot luxury, Soneva Fushi offers villas tucked into tropical greenery. Enjoy garden-to-table dining, a private beach dinner, or a dolphin cruise at golden hour.

4. Maui, Hawaii
If you’re looking for lush, laid-back, and romantic with just enough adventure, Hotel Wailea is a peaceful, adults-only escape. Dine under the stars, drive the Road to Hana, or catch sunrise on Haleakalā.

5. Phuket, Thailand
Blending Thai hospitality with coastal charm, The Surin Phuket offers quiet beaches and jungle-wrapped cottages. Island-hop by longtail boat, indulge in beachside spa time, and enjoy fresh seafood with your toes in the sand.

6. Venice, Italy
Take a gondola down the Grand Canal, get lost in narrow alleyways, and soak up centuries of romance. Stay at Gritti Palace, where luxury meets history—and enjoy candlelit dinners at Club del Doge with the water just outside your window.

7. Kyoto, Japan
Peaceful temples, bamboo groves, and serene riverside walks make Kyoto a quiet and meaningful honeymoon destination. The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto blends traditional style with modern luxury, perfect for slowing down and soaking it all in.

8. Tuscany, Italy
Rolling hills, wine country views, and a slower pace—Tuscany feels like a storybook. Castello di Casole, a restored Italian castle, is a dream base for day trips, local eats, and a few glasses of Chianti in the countryside.

9. Paris, France
Timeless and chic, Paris is romance at its finest. Cozy up with pastries in Montmartre, stroll along the Seine, and retreat to Le Meurice, just steps from the Louvre. A river cruise at sunset is a must.

10. Queenstown, New Zealand
For couples who want both luxury and thrill, Queenstown brings the views and the adventure. Stay at Matakauri Lodge for mountains and lake views, then mix in wine tasting, hiking, or even bungee jumping (if you dare).
