So, you’re about to enter your happily-ever-after era. You’ve got the big day sorted, and now you just need to decide where you’ll be heading to celebrate your newlywed status. Whether your vision is long-haul luxury or a low-key mini-moon situation closer to home, here’s some inspo for the dreamiest honeymoon destinations. Â
Â
The MaldivesÂ
Best time to go: November to April Â
Name a more iconic honeymoon destination, we’ll wait. The Maldives is made up of thousands of tiny islands in the Indian Ocean. With more beaches than inhabitants, it has a seriously secluded vibe, so you’ll feel like you’re the only people on earth. Live your best loved-up life in an above-water bungalow and embrace the beach-bum lifestyle – walk about barefoot, go snorkelling in the coral reefs and watch the sunsets from the sandbars.Â
Santorini, GreeceÂ
Best time to go: April to November  Â
This Greek Island’s classic whitewashed buildings, clifftop views, and second-to-none sunsets are a recipe for romance. Spend days exploring colourful villages, strolling along the black sand beaches and treating yourselves to Michelin-starred meals. For the real Santorini experience, stay in one of Oia’s blue-domed boutique hotels built into the cliff, or dance ‘til dawn in Thira’s clubs like you’re in Mamma Mia! Â
Amalfi Coast, ItalyÂ
Best time to go: May to SeptemberÂ
With sorbet-coloured towns, Neapolitan Riviera scenery and sweet-smelling lemon groves, the Amalfi Coast is pure honeymoon material. Settle into your post-wedding bliss with a boat trip to Capri, sharing creamy cannolis and strolling along the coastal proms. Stay in UNESCO-listed Amalfi for colourful cliffside buildings and Roman ruins, or pick Positano for top-tier Italian cuisine. It’s perfect if your love language is eating together Lady and the Tramp-style… That’s amore.    Â
The CaribbeanÂ
Best time to go: December to AprilÂ
The Caribbean meets the hot honeymoon brief, serving up laidback island vibes, swish adults-only resorts and sunshine for days. Spice things up in the Dominican Republic with day trips to colourful Santo Domingo and zip-lining through jungle canopies, or pick Jamaica for reggae beats, rum punch and immaculate beaches. Looking for somewhere under-the-radar? Grenada’s a hidden gem. Go on hikes through the rainforest to secret waterfalls, snorkel to see the turtles, and you might even get a whole stretch of sand to yourselves. Â
Phuket, ThailandÂ
Best time to go: December to MayÂ
Heading to the Land of Smiles for your happy-couple moment just makes sense. Thailand’s always a wish-list worthy pick, so where better to spend the happiest time of your life than in one of its prettiest parts – Phuket. Expect jungle-backed beaches, buzzy night markets and super-zen Buddhist temples, and all sorts of stays from secluded villas right on the sand to next-level-luxury resorts. Follow famous footsteps with a boat trip to Phi Phi Island, eat your body weight in pad thai and mango sticky rice, and party the night away in Bangla Road’s bright bars. Â
