Sunscreen? Packed. Fiancé? Secured. Pinterest board? Overflowing. Tropical weddings and honeymoons are having a full-blown main character moment. Think coastal cool, color-soaked aesthetics, and a dress code that says “effortless, not extra.” From Zanzibar's dreamiest beaches to jungle-meets-ocean escapes, these nine destinations are trending hard for 2025 — and honestly, we get the hype.
Zanzibar
If your ‘dream honeymoon’ board is filled with turquoise waters, vibrant cultural surroundings, and a spirit of adventure, Zanzibar is ready to make it real. The Tanzanian archipelago tops Pinterest searches for a reason: here, every moment feels curated for wonder, from spice-scented markets to serene beaches where the only thing more dazzling than the view is the way it makes you feel. Plan your trip for the dry season, June to October, for the best weather.

Goa
The tiny state on India’s west coast, Goa, has long captured the imagination of travelers — and now, it’s becoming a go-to for honeymooners craving something a little off-script. It's barefoot luxury blends with laid-back charm, and the atmosphere carries a rhythm of it's own. Here, lazy days meet vibrant nights, historic churches sit beside palm forests, and every sunset feels like an invitation to stay a little longer.

Cape Town
Cape Town stuns from the start, unfolding like a film set made for romance and adventure. Cradled between mountains and the ocean, it offers honeymooners (and soon-to-weds) a rare fusion of natural wonder and cultural depth. One day, you’ll be hiking through dramatic cliffs or taking a romantic drive along Chapman’s Peak; the next, you’re sipping local wine in a centuries-old vineyard or dining with a view. Cape Town is bold, beautiful, and endlessly romantic — just like the best kind of love story.
