Close your eyes. Picture waking up to sunlight dancing across sapphire waters, the scent of sea salt and jasmine in the air, and your beloved wrapped in soft sheets beside you. Now open them…because your dream honeymoon on the Red Sea awaits — and she’s giving luxury, mystery, and main character energy.

To say I am low-key obsessed with the Red Sea would be a lie. I am high-key obsessed. Is that a thing? I have been dreaming of going since joining Instagram many moons ago. It isn’t just a body of water; it’s a vibe. A whole personality, if I’m honest. Stretching between northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, it’s home to ancient history, technicolor coral reefs, and resorts so divine they make your Pinterest board cry tears of joy. And at present, it is the destination scrolling through influencer dreams. Every travel vlogger has been or is heading to the Red Sea.

So let’s spill the (hibiscus) tea on the most incredible honeymoon resorts that will make your hearts skip beats and your Instagram pop off.

🐚 Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve – Saudi Arabia

For: The Couple Who Dreams in Star Maps and Stays for the Spa

OMG, this resort is stunning! Floating in the dreamy crystalline waters of the Red Sea’s Blue Hole Lagoon, Nujuma isn’t just a resort—it’s a celestial experience. Think overwater villas that resemble moonshells and stargazing with your sweetheart beneath desert skies. With private pools, curated experiences (camel trek, anyone?), and all the VIP vibes, this honeymoon writes itself into legend.

🏝️ The St. Regis Red Sea Resort – Saudi Arabia

For: The Luxe Lovers Who Want Their Honeymoon Scripted Like a Romance Film

St Regis is the resort that entranced me. It is the kind of place where every detail whispers “bespoke.” Nestled on Ummahat Island, it’s equally serene and stylish—with butler service that redefines pampering. The coral-rich waters are perfect for snorkeling hand-in-hand, and the sunsets are so golden that they make proposals feel like déjà vu.

🐠 Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh – Egypt

For: The Glamorous Dive-Barbie Meets Jacques Cousteau Couple

Why am I suddenly all about the Red Sea? YouTube keeps repeating the ad for the Four Seasons every time I watch. The ad signifies it was time to shine my light on the area! You haven’t truly snorkeled until you’ve dipped into the vibrant underwater city off the coast of Sharm El Sheikh. The Four Seasons brings that perfect blend of 5-star pampering and natural splendor. You’ll get decadent dining, cascading pools, and some of the best reef access in the region.

🌊 The Oberoi Beach Resort Sahl Hasheesh – Egypt

For: The Couple Who Craves Chic, Classic, and Utterly Cinematic

Say “I do” to this masterpiece on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. The Oberoi is the Audrey Hepburn of resorts—timeless, elegant, and always turning heads. Marble bathrooms? Check. Private pool suites? Yes, please. Candlelit beach dinners with views of an impossibly turquoise sea? Swoon.

🌅 The Chedi El Gouna – Egypt

For: The Boho-Chic Babes with a Taste for Design and Tranquility

The Chedi is tucked into the artsy beach town of El Gouna, where minimalism meets magic. This place isn’t trying too hard—it’s already that girl. Desert-meets-ocean aesthetics, sleek suites, and a dreamy, slow-living rhythm make it ideal for lovers who want to unplug from the world and plug into each other. My only issue with the Chedi is that I am pretty sure I am not cool enough to get to stay there.

🫧 Shebara, Red Sea – Saudi Arabia

For: The Off-Grid, On-Trend Duo Who Craves Privacy and Postcard Views

Suppose I was asked to describe Shebara in one word; that word would be breathtaking. Shebara’s solar-powered sanctuary feels like it was custom-built for honeymooners who want their little corner of paradise. With futuristic overwater villas, untouched coral gardens, and that soul-stirring silence only remote islands can offer—it’s honeymoon heaven for the wild-at-heart and luxury-obsessed.

✨ Don’t Miss Snorkeling with kaleidoscopic fish then sipping mocktails on your private deck as the sky turns fire-orange.

🏜️ Desert Rock – Saudi Arabia

For: The Desert Dreamers Who Want to Feel Like Royalty in a Canyon

Carved into the ancient sandstone cliffs of the Red Sea’s western edge, Desert Rock is a surreal escape where architectural wizardry meets raw, majestic nature. It’s one of those “how-is-this-real” places. Perfect for couples who want to hike, stargaze, and make out in a cave spa (yes, that’s a thing).

✨ Don’t Miss Romantic alfresco dinners under the stars with canyon views that make you gasp and then giggle.

🌿 Six Senses Southern Dunes – The Red Sea Project, Saudi Arabia

For: The Sustainability Stans with Champagne Taste

Sustainability, but make it sultry. Six Senses is known for doing eco-luxury so well, and their Southern Dunes escape redefines desert romance. Think raw nature, dune silence, and villas so luxe you’ll want to move in. It’s all about slow living with soul—and the romance is hotter than the Arabian sun.

✨ Don’t Miss Moonlit camel rides and couples’ sound healing under the stars.

💎 Stella Di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa – Egypt

For: The Glamorous Lovebirds Who Want It All, All at Once

She’s giving opulence. She’s giving ocean views. She’s giving, “This is exactly what we needed.” With a private beach, ultra-pampering spa treatments, and seafood so fresh it flirts back, Stella Di Mare serves honeymoon magic on a silver (lobster-filled) platter.

✨ Don’t Miss The rooftop bar for bubbly and panoramic sunset kisses.

The Red Sea isn’t just a destination. It’s where love stories find their rhythm, ancient wonders meet modern luxury, and your honeymoon becomes the kind of memory you tell your grandkids about with a twinkle in your eye.
