selectvenue From the Namib Desert to the Amalfi Coast, we’ve got you covered.
Are you looking for the greatest honeymoon spots or hotels? There is no one-size-fits-all romantic trip for couples, but there are several wonderful five-star resorts across the world known for their romantic, once-in-a-lifetime appeal.
Consider a Mexican resort with a “department of romance” that will arrange for you to sleep under the stars, or a bucolic Vermont farm that will feed your sweetheart a pondside picnic. Then there are places where romance appears to be built into the scenery, such as the Amalfi Coast.
The greatest places to stay on your honeymoon, whether you’re looking for a quick weekend vacation or a far-flung excursion, are listed below.
Namibia, in addition to Sossusvlei
It takes at least three flights to get to andBeyond Sossusvlei, a lonely retreat deep in the Namibian desert. The Namib Desert Those who are prepared to make the long journey, however, will be rewarded with a landscape that feels more like Mars than Earth, the world’s second-darkest night sky, and an adventure that will stay with you for a lifetime. Spend the morning e-biking around the property’s 31,419-acre private sandy reserve, or enjoy a hot air balloon ride as the sun rises. Then, as the afternoon heat rises, cool off in your stone-and-glass studio’s infinity pool. When you’re ready to go on another adventure, have one of the property’s rangers take you out for a cocktail hour deep in the dunes, or trek the dunes… and then have a cocktail hour.

Le Toiny is ideal for individuals looking for quiet, romantic glamour while yet experiencing the social island that is St. Barths. The entire property is surrounded by wild and difficult terrain—to get to the beach club, guests must board an open-air white safari jeep that will cross several steep dirt turns before arriving at the sumptuous, tucked away resort noted for its lobster salad and Minuty. The apartments are light, airy, and unmistakably luxurious—each has its own private plunge pool with ocean views.
Amalfi Coast’s Belmond Hotel Caruso
There are plenty of romantic locations to stay on the Amalfi Coast, which is a dreamy, la dolce vita vacation. However, we’ll limit ourselves to just one: the Belmond Hotel Caruso. quite high in the Ravello’s hills, its relative isolation from the busy towns below, provide for a more private, tucked away experience. Wander through the property’s lush grounds, go shopping in the charming village of Ravello, take one of the complimentary boat trips, and, most importantly, eat some pasta.
Rosewood Los Cabos, Las Ventanas al Paraso
“The weight of centuries in the substantial stone ramparts rubs up against the most up-to-date modern conveniences.” Chloe Schama, the editor of Vogue, wrote about Castello di Reschio, a 1,000-year-old castle-turned-hotel situated high in Italy’s Umbrian Hills. The interiors are ornamented with beautiful stucco work, stone-carved firepalces, antique artworks, and trompe l’oeil ceilings, as well as a strong dedication to sustainability (the majority of the product comes from the estate’s own gardens, vineyards, and beehives).
Costa Rica’s Nayara Tented Camp
Nayara Tented Camp, a magnificent hideaway abutting Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano National Park, is an ideal romantic respite for eco-adventurers. Tents are surrounded by guarumo trees and the brilliantly flashing toucans and howler monkeys who live there, and their individual plunge pools are replenished by water.
The Rosewood Las Ventanas in Los Cabos is so romantic that it’s a favourite getaway for PDA-obsessed Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. What about the lengthy one? The five-star resort includes a wide beach, eight separate pools, and a bar dedicated only to tequila and ceviche. It receives over 350 days of sunshine per year. There’s also a Department of Romance on-site that specialises in making honeymoons memorable. (Can you think of any other activities they’ve organised? Sleeping under the stars, a personalised message in a bottle, and a tequila masterclass for two are all options.)
Vermont’s Twin Farms
Looking for a closer-to-home mini-vacation? Visit Twin Farms, a quaint Vermont lodge that oozes New England charm. Their 10 homes, spread across 300 acres, all have their own distinct style: one, for example, has paintings by Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, David Bates, and Frank Stella, while another embraces Japanese minimalism. Is it included in every stay? Sandwiches at their private ski mountain summit, charcuterie by their on-site pond, or canapés on one of their many hiking routes.
