Have you tied the knot recently and had your honeymoon plans put on hold due to lockdown, or are you getting married soon and want to have the most memorable and romantic getaway? We’re here to help!

 

Choosing a honeymoon destination can be quite daunting, especially with so many exotic holidays to pick from. We have shortlisted some of our favourite destinations and hotels, which even offer special gifts for the love birds.

 

Here’s our top five picks for the best honeymoon destinations…

 

Dominican Republic

Whether you picture your honeymoon being filled with adventure and activities, or you just want to put your feet up on a peaceful sun lounger, the Dominican Republic has a little bit of everything. 

 

The year-round weather here makes it a great honeymoon destination, no matter what time of the year you get married so you can be whisked away to paradise straight after you have signed on the dotted line. 

 

There are plenty of romantic excursions and activities that you can book for you and your other half including horseback riding in the mountains or along the beach. You can trot along beside tumbling waterfalls or canter down the beach to the sound of crashing waves. 

 

If utter tranquility is more your style, then kick back on one of the many beautiful beaches along the 50km coastline in front of the glistening turquoise waters. 

 

One of our favourite hotels in the Dominican Republic for honeymooners is:

 

TUI SENSATORI Cap Cana

Opening its doors for the first time in winter 2021, the TUI SENSATORI Cap Cana is sure to be a showstopper. There’ll be a whole village of restaurants, shared with the brand-new hotel next-door, Margaritaville Island Reserve – themed around everywhere from Italy to Asia. Plus, you’ll be able to sign up for a 10-course, multi-sensory meal at Table 10, a perfect experience for couples.

 

All rooms and suites at this resort are kitted out with a 50-inch Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker via the TV, coffee maker, plus complimentary WiFi, to name a few. To make your stay extra special, you can opt for a swim-up suite, or beachfront suite.

 

The hotel also offers a special honeymoon package which includes a 2-for-1 offer on a beachfront sky massage, a chilled bottle of sparkling wine delivered to your room on arrival, decorated room with rose petals, tropical floral arrangement and candles. If that wasn’t enough, you can also enjoy 15% off spa services on site. 

 

Mexico

Mexico is one of the most popular honeymoon destinations and when you take into account its natural beauty, towering palm trees and bright blue waters, it’s hard not to see why!

 

Plenty of the hotels here have in house spas and extensive spa  treatment lists, perfect for a relaxing break where you and your other half can completely switch off and wind down. Resorts also feature a fantastic list of eateries, meaning you can eat your way around the world without having to leave the comfort of the resort.

 

Mexicans are known for their fabulous fiestas, so if you’re looking to dance into the night with your new husband or wife, then you won’t be disappointed by the many lively bars and beach parties. 

 

Our resort recommendation for your perfect Mexican honeymoon would be:

 

TUI BLUE El Dorado Seaside Suites

The adults-only TUI BLUE El Dorado Seaside Suites is all about luxury and is on an ultra-peaceful patch of sand. Named as one of the world’s most romantic hotels by Forbes Magazine, here, luxuries like whirlpool baths in the rooms and gourmet dining come as standard.

 

There’s a choice of 11 bars and 10 restaurants here, with five à la carte eateries included in your stay. The hotel’s dining set-up is Gourmet Inclusive®, which means you can look forward to gourmet cuisine from top international chefs. 

 

If you book a Swim up Jacuzzi Junior Suite or a Premium swim up Jacuzzi Suite for your honeymoon stay, you can take advantage of a beachfront sky massage 2-for-1 offer, bottle of sparkling wine on arrival, 15% spa discount, flowers in room and decorated room with candles and rose petals. 

 

Maldives

The Maldives is filled with picture-perfect landscapes that are worthy of being on a postcard.  If you’re looking for a memorable holiday with your other half to celebrate your nuptials, you should definitely consider this bucket list destination. 

 

There are plenty of stunning luxurious resorts on the islands dotted throughout the Indian Ocean, all of which make perfect honeymoon destinations. Overwater bungalows and private beaches are a common occurrence, meaning you can enjoy ultimate privacy to make your holiday extra special. 

 

When it comes to keeping busy while you’re away, we recommend you take a look below the surface and explore the hidden depths of the Maldives. In this particular patch of the Indian Ocean, there are more than 180 species of coral reef, making the perfect diving opportunity. 

 

If you’re looking for a Maldivian paradise, why not check out:

 

Riu Atoll

The Riu Atoll can be found on the private island of Maafushi, with sugar-cube-shaped suites suspended on stilts over the shallow lagoon. There’s a big pool with a swim-up bar and a powdery beach right on your doorstep.

 

If you’re looking for a bit of action, the Riu Atoll hires out snorkelling equipment and kayaks at the watersports centre. There are daily fitness workouts too, including paddle yoga and aero yoga – where you’re suspended as you stretch. 

 

Honeymooners will receive a bottle of wine or champagne, early check in and late check out, room decoration and a surprise gift.

 

Jamaica

A combination of rich culture and stunning scenery, Jamaica is a place that’ll have your senses tingling. The blend of spicy cuisine, steel pan drums and bold colours is enough to pique anyone’s interest. 

 

While you can have an amazing break relaxing on one of the country’s 50+ beaches, it’s the thrill of exploring that really makes this a memorable honeymoon destination. You and your other half can enjoy everything from Bob Marley tours to jammin’ nightlife, and can tuck into jerk-flavoured delights washed down with colourful cocktails bursting with rum.

 

For a more intimate experience, why not enjoy exploring the Blue Mountain range and take a dip in a natural pool or sample fruit fresh from the tree? Your guide will take you to the most exciting places and give you some expert knowledge during your adventure. 

 

Relax during your jammin’ Jamaican honeymoon at:

 

Riu Palace Jamaica Hotel

The Riu Palace Jamaica Hotel feels like your very own corner of paradise – with luxury sun beds, in-water loungers and an abundance of bars and restaurants, the hotel certainly makes it hard to leave! 

 

This adults-only hotel comes with a pool that’s practically on the beach – and the swim-up bar means you’re never far from a tropical cocktail. As well as the buffet restaurant, there are four à la cartes including gourmet fusion and a steakhouse. For a little extra, you can even have a romantic dinner on the beach. 

 

If you choose the Riu Palace Jamaica Hotel for your honeymoon, you’ll receive a bottle of rum and a fruit basket upon arrival.

 

St Lucia

St Lucia is an island of diversity – you can enjoy rainforests or sandy shores, or relax on a volcanic black beach or super soft white sands. The waters are jaw-droppingly clear, making it a great place to spot sea creatures.

 

Reduit Beach has been named as one of St Lucia’s best beaches and is also one of the more lively, where you’ll find quite a few bars. If you’re hoping to enjoy lots of cocktails and boogie on down with your loved one, you will have so many places to enjoy here. 

 

Around the island you’ll find steakhouses, seafood restaurants and lots of places serving spicy Caribbean classics plus mac and cheese – something of a traditional dish in St Lucia. As the island’s geared up for honeymooners, there are plenty of top class places to eat offering romantic settings, such as The Cliff at Cap with sensational cliff top sea views. 

 

For your luxurious honeymoon to St Lucia, we recommend:
