Celebrating 14 Years of Love, Luggage & Lifelong Memories

Fourteen years ago, I started Trips to Cherish with one big dream: to help couples plan romantic getaways as unforgettable as their love stories. Since then, I’ve matched thousands of starry-eyed duos with destinations that feel like magic—places where vows echo off cliffs, where champagne toasts come with ocean views, and where romance lingers long after the bags are unpacked.

In celebration of our 14th anniversary, I’m sharing my 14 absolute favorite honeymoon destinations—each chosen not just for its beauty, but for the way it makes you feel. This list isn’t ranked—how could I ever choose between French croissants and Maldivian overwater bliss?

So here they are, lovingly scattered across the globe, not grouped by geography but by the kind of love they inspire.

💙  Santorini, Greece

Blue-domed churches. Cobblestone alleys. Sunsets that feel like the world is holding its breath. Santorini is a Greek goddess of a destination, draped in elegance, mystery, and charm. Hike from Fira to Oia, sip Assyrtiko wine on a cliffside terrace, and let the caldera views remind you that love, like lava, changes the landscape. Santorini is my favorite place on the planet, and I have been so blessed to introduce it to hundreds of couples over the years.

🌴 Anguilla

Anguilla is a barefoot luxury queen—quiet, unassuming, and blessed with some of the softest sand and bluest waters in the Caribbean. You’ll find Michelin-starred meals served on the beach, live reggae under the stars, and a soul-soothing calm that begs you to slow down, breathe deep, and be together.

🐠  Australia’s Gold Coast & Whitsunday Islands

This Aussie combo is for adventurous lovers: surf the sparkling waves of the Gold Coast, then hop over to the Whitsundays for yacht charters and private beach picnics. Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef hand-in-hand, watch kangaroos hop by at golden hour, and say “I do” under the Southern Cross. Koalas optional. Love guaranteed.

🍋  Amalfi Coast, Italy

Amalfi is romance in technicolor: lemon trees, bougainvillea, cliffside villages, and Vespas zipping through sun-drenched streets. From Positano’s dramatic cliffs to Ravello’s secret gardens and Capri’s glamor, every twist and turn of the Amalfi Coast is a love letter to la dolce vita.

🌿 Zanzibar, Tanzania

A spice-scented jewel off the coast of Africa, Zanzibar is a mix of Swahili culture, stunning beaches, and ancient romance. Wander through Stone Town’s maze of history, sail on a dhow at sunset, and let the island’s rhythm lull you into a blissful kind of honeymoon haze.

🥂 St. Barths

Where French Riviera elegance meets Caribbean cool, St. Barths is where you’ll sip rosé on a sun lounger, shop chic boutiques, and dance on tables at Nikki Beach. It’s polished yet playful—a perfect match for couples who crave both luxury and a little bit of sass.

🌾 Bali, Indonesia

Bali is soulful, serene, and sensory. Think private jungle villas, sunset temple blessings, and yoga sessions at dawn. In Ubud, love feels spiritual; in Uluwatu, it’s wild and salty. And everywhere? You’ll find beauty, kindness, and the gentle hum of peace.

🍷  South of France

From the lavender fields of Provence to the glittering coastline of the Côte d’Azur, the South of France is cinematic perfection. Stroll medieval villages, linger over rosé in the shade of olive trees, and ride bicycles past sunflower fields. It’s a honeymoon for the senses—and the scrapbook.

🌊  The Maldives

If heaven wore a bikini, it would be the Maldives. Turquoise lagoons. Overwater villas. Candlelit dinners on the sand with literally no one else around. Whether you’re diving with manta rays or doing absolutely nothing at all, the Maldives delivers pure, unfiltered bliss.

🐚 French Polynesia

Bora Bora may be the headliner, but the entire archipelago is swoon-worthy. From the vanilla-scented hills of Taha’a to the lush peaks of Moorea, French Polynesia is all about romance with a side of tropical fantasy. Paddleboard at sunrise, stargaze from your bungalow, and let the rhythm of the islands slow your heartbeat.

🐪 The Red Sea, Saudi Arabia

Not your average honeymoon spot—but that’s why I love it. Dive into vibrant coral gardens, relax in luxe resorts along the coast, and explore ancient Egyptian wonders just a short flight away. It’s romance, history, and natural wonder rolled into one glittering package. The Red Sea is a late entry on my list, but I recently fell in love with the stunning resorts.

🍜  Thailand

A sensory playground. Think: tuk-tuks in Bangkok, golden temples, sizzling street food, and island hopping in the Andaman Sea. Thailand is budget-friendly without sacrificing an ounce of style, offering barefoot luxury, cultural richness, and some of the most romantic sunsets on Earth.

🌴 Seychelles

Otherworldly granite boulders. Silky beaches. Giant tortoises and jungle trails. Seychelles feels like the Earth’s best-kept secret. You’ll swim in sapphire coves, dine under the stars, and wake up each day wondering how nature got this good. Spoiler: it’s real.

🌺 Fiji

Bula, paradise! Fiji is warm—both in climate and heart. The people will greet you like family, and the islands will treat you like royalty. Picture waterfall hikes, snorkeling with vibrant fish, and lazy afternoons in a hammock strung between two palm trees. In Fiji, the world fades away, leaving only love.
