Amalfi Coast, Italy
The Amalfi Coast is on every couple’s bucket-list. And it’s easy to see why. The idyllic stretch of coastline is famous for its picture-perfect villas, secluded beaches, lemon groves, and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea. Home to gorgeous towns like Ravello, Sorrento, and Naples, the Amalfi Coast charms travelers with its slower pace of life, making it a no-stress destination. The region boasts dozens of spectacular cliffside resorts such as Borgo Santandrea, where you can stay in comfort and enjoy your honeymoon to the max. The best months to visit the Amalfi Coast are May and September.
Santorini, Greece
The Greek Islands are among the most popular destinations to spend your honeymoon. Especially Santorini, which has been attracting newlyweds from all over the world. You sure have seen Santorini's iconic chalk-white buildings with cobalt-blue domes on your Instagram feed numerous times. Now, it’s your turn to experience beauty! Stay at one of Santorini’s unique cave-style hotels like Divine Cave Experience, enjoy local wines, swim in the Aegean Sea, wander the streets of provincial villages, and catch the mesmerizing sunset that paints everything around pink and honey-gold. It's best to plan your Santorini honeymoon for spring, autumn, or early summer. This time of the year, the Greek Islands are less crowded.
Mallorca, Spain
Mallorca is the A-listers’ favorite place to relax, so don’t be surprised if you accidentally stumble across Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, or Brad Pitt. Here at Mallorca, you will find the world's best retreats. Among them are the Can Ferrereta and Es Racó d'Artà, design-savvy hotels ideal for a tranquil stay. This paradise island also boasts more than two hundred beaches, some in glorious seclusion.
