Every honeymoon is a love story. And like all great love stories, the setting matters enormously. After 25 years of crafting honeymoons for couples from around the world, our advisors at Marquis Vacations have a clear sense of which destinations are delivering the most extraordinary experiences right now.

The Maldives: Timeless and Unmatched

The Maldives has held its place at the pinnacle of honeymoon travel for decades, and 2026 is no exception. Overwater villas with glass floors, private plunge pools, and direct lagoon access remain the gold standard for romantic travel.

Santorini: The Classic That Never Disappoints

The caldera views from Oia and Imerovigli are among the most romantic vistas on the planet. Our advisors recommend visiting in late May or early September. A private catamaran sunset cruise around the caldera is non-negotiable.

Amalfi Coast: La Dolce Vita in Full Color

The combination of dramatic coastal scenery, exceptional Italian cuisine, and the unhurried pace of life along the Tyrrhenian Sea makes it one of the most sensory-rich honeymoon experiences available.

Bora Bora: French Polynesia's Crown Jewel

Bora Bora's iconic silhouette — the dramatic volcanic peak of Mount Otemanu rising above a lagoon of impossible blues and greens — is one of the most recognizable images in travel. And the reality lives up entirely to the photograph.

St. Lucia: Caribbean Romance with Depth

St. Lucia offers dramatic natural beauty combined with genuine cultural richness. For couples who want more than a beach — who want adventure, culture, and romance in equal measure — St. Lucia is our top Caribbean recommendation for 2026.
