Sofia Richie Grainge, Hotel Cipriani
When a hotel becomes as famous as its guests, you know it’s honeymoon-worthy. Think private Tahitian islands that lure in presidential figures and Oscar winners, legendary Riviera hotels that transform into celebrity playgrounds during film festivals, and Amalfi terraces that feel like film sets (and come with the cast list to match). We rounded up 15 of the world’s most star-approved hotels, each offering the privacy, indulgence, and cinematic settings that make them honeymoon-worthy. After all, if these spots are good enough for Taylor Swift’s Lake Como getaway, Sophia Richie’s Anguilla retreat, or Jeff Bezos’s Sicilian escape, they’re definitely honeymoon worthy.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo
An Art Nouveau palace perched on Lake Como, Grand Hotel Tremezzo is as cinematic as it gets. Honeymooners can swim in a pool that floats on the lake, retreat to a rooftop suite with a private whirlpool terrace, or wander through five acres of botanical gardens. Inside, frescoed ceilings and period furnishings meet modern comforts, while the T Spa offers a hammam suite, infinity pool, and salt relaxation room with panoramic views. Aperitivos are served at golden hour, often with live music drifting across the water. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce recently stayed here, joining a long list of stars who come for Como’s signature blend of glamour and romance.
La Residencia
Set in the village of Deià in Mallorca’s Tramuntana mountains, La Residencia, Belmond Hotel pairs honey-stone villas with olive groves, rose-filled terraces, and views stretching to the Mediterranean. Inside, rooms and suites feel like chic countryside retreats, with beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, and antique furnishings — some even with private pools or rooftop terraces. The hotel has two pools, a celebrated art collection, and a spa designed for long, lazy afternoons. For dining, El Olivo is a destination in itself, serving Mediterranean cuisine on a candlelit terrace. Dua Lipa has been spotted here this past summer, confirming its status as the Balearic escape where celebrities — and honeymooners — come for understated romance.
Le Sirenuse
Few hotels are as synonymous with the Amalfi Coast as Le Sirenuse. Perched above Positano, its whitewashed façade hides interiors filled with antiques, hand-painted tiles, and striking contemporary art — a mix that feels both timeless and stylish. Terraces drip with bougainvillea, the pool sparkles against cliffside views, and the Michelin-starred La Sponda restaurant glows by candlelight after dark. Practically every celebrity has passed through at some point — from Kylie Jenner to Reese Witherspoon — cementing its status as the Amalfi address. For honeymooners, it’s the dream of la dolce vita come to life.

Aman Tokyo
Minimalist and serene, Aman Tokyo feels like a sanctuary above the city. Set on the top floors of the Otemachi Tower, it combines clean-lined Japanese design with soaring views of Mount Fuji and the Imperial Palace Gardens. Suites feature deep soaking tubs, washi-paper screens, and floor-to-ceiling windows that make the skyline part of the décor, while the 30,000-square-foot spa — one of the largest in Tokyo — comes with a 98-foot pool suspended above the city. Practically every celebrity passing through Tokyo stays here, drawn to its privacy and sense of calm. For honeymooners, it’s the rare hotel that captures the energy of the city without sacrificing Zen-like romance.
Cap Juluca
With whitewashed villas strung along one of the Caribbean’s most perfect crescents of sand, Cap Juluca, Belmond Hotel is a study in beachside romance. Suites and villas open directly onto the beach, with private terraces framed by turquoise waters and all the privacy honeymooners could want. Belmond’s flawless service adds to the allure, from poolside cocktails to fine dining under the stars. Jennifer Aniston has been a repeat guest, and even Jackie Kennedy once stayed here — proof that this Anguilla icon has long been a celebrity favorite for couples craving low-key luxury.
GoldenEye Resort
GoldenEye began as Ian Fleming’s Jamaican retreat, where he penned every James Bond novel, and today it’s a resort steeped in both literary and celebrity legend. Villas and lagoon cottages are tucked into tropical gardens and along private beaches, each with outdoor showers and direct water access for a stay that feels secluded yet cinematic. Guests can kayak through the lagoon, lounge on Button Beach, or sip rum cocktails at the Bizot Bar. Kate Moss, Dua Lipa and Beyoncé have all vacationed here, but the vibe stays blissfully low-key — the kind of barefoot luxury that feels designed for a honeymoon.
San Domenico Palace
Dramatically perched above Taormina with sea views that stop you in your tracks, San Domenico Palace is Sicily’s ultimate showstopper. The hotel was once a 14th-century convent, and today its cloistered courtyards and frescoed halls sit alongside sleek Four Seasons design. Rooms spill onto terraces overlooking Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, while the infinity pool seems to hover over the coastline. Michelin-starred dining at Principe Cerami makes every evening feel like an event. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez reportedly honeymooned here recently, and its starring role in The White Lotus has only added to its mythic status.

La Mamounia
La Mamounia is so storied it’s practically part of Marrakech’s mythology, a palatial retreat where history, glamour, and fantasy collide. Winston Churchill called it “the most lovely spot in the whole world,” Yves Saint Laurent found inspiration in its gardens, Paul McCartney joined the ranks not long after, and more recently the Kardashians have made appearances too. Opulent in every sense, the Moorish-style hotel is framed by royal gardens, with jewel-box riad suites, four acclaimed restaurants, and service so exceptional it’s consistently ranked among the world’s best. For honeymooners, it’s easy to see why this icon remains a favorite.
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc
A legend of the French Riviera, Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc has been the backdrop of Antibes glamour for over a century. Its saltwater infinity pool is carved into the rocks, a champagne bar perches above the sea, and pine-draped gardens lead to private cabanas scattered along the shoreline. Rooms and suites mix Belle Époque elegance with Riviera ease, while secluded villas offer their own pools and terraces. With four restaurants, tennis courts, and a guest book spanning Old Hollywood icons to today’s A-list, from Sofia Richie Grainge to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, it remains the Riviera’s ultimate honeymoon address.

The Brando
The Brando, located on a private island once owned by Marlon Brando, is a Tahitian hideaway that blends eco-sustainability with five-star indulgence. Just 35 villas and one private residence dot the atoll of Tetiaroa, each with its own plunge pool, outdoor bathtub, and sweeping lagoon views. Barack and Michelle Obama vacationed here post-White House, Leonardo DiCaprio returns often, and Margot Robbie has joined the roster too. A once-in-a-lifetime South Pacific escape that feels entirely your own.
JOALI Maldives
The Maldives is practically synonymous with honeymoons, and JOALI takes the fantasy a step further with its design-led, wellness-first approach. Villas come with private pools, open-air living spaces, and outdoor baths overlooking the lagoon, while the island itself is dotted with immersive art installations and a spa focused on restorative rituals. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Millie Bobby Brown, and Stanley Tucci (just to name a few) have all vacationed here, proof of its star power. For honeymooners, it’s equal parts serene retreat and architectural daydream — the kind of place that makes you wonder if real life should always look this good.

Las Ventanas al Paraíso
At Las Ventanas al Paraíso in Cabo, even the smallest room stretches over 900 square feet — proof that luxury here is non-negotiable. Kourtney Kardashian and other A-listers have made it their Baja escape, drawn by beachfront suites, private infinity pools, and butlers who manage everything from unpacking to margarita service. With year-round sunshine and desert-meets-ocean scenery, it’s the kind of resort that feels like a permanent honeymoon, no matter when you visit.
Amanpuri
The original Aman resort and still one of the brand’s crown jewels, Amanpuri sits on a private stretch of Pansea Beach in Phuket. Its Thai temple–inspired pavilions are tucked among coconut palms, while sprawling villas with private pools open directly onto the Andaman Sea. The resort’s design, by Ed Tuttle, set the standard for understated luxury — serene, secluded, and impossibly chic. Celebrities from Beyoncé and Madonna to Leonardo DiCaprio and Bill Gates have all stayed here, drawn by the privacy and discreet service. For honeymooners, Amanpuri delivers a rare blend of tropical escape and timeless design, the kind that never goes out of style.
One&Only Reethi Rah
On its own private island in the Maldives’ North Malé Atoll, One&Only Reethi Rah is the definition of honeymoon excess. Villas stretch across 12 beaches and overwater decks, each with private pools and enough seclusion to feel like your own slice of paradise. Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge honeymooned here, while David and Victoria Beckham and Idris Elba have been among its famous guests. With eight restaurants, a world-class spa, and sunsets that feel cinematic every night, it’s little wonder this resort has become one of the Maldives’ most star-studded escapes.
Belmond Hotel Cipriani
Floating on Giudecca Island, this Venetian grande dame, The Hotel Cipriani, pairs sweeping lagoon views with the city’s largest outdoor pool, Michelin-starred dining at Oro, and lush private gardens that feel worlds away from the bustle of San Marco. Suites open to balconies over the water, some with marble bathrooms and gilded details, while a private launch ferries guests straight into Venice’s heart. With tennis courts, spa treatments, and Belmond’s legendary service, it balances spectacle and discretion in equal measure. George and Amal Clooney put it firmly in the spotlight, but it has long been the lagoon’s most coveted celebrity hideaway.
