Photo by AZULIK Uh May

Your honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime getaway, and it will be the most anticipated and indulgent trip you'll ever take. The start of your married life is an excellent excuse to splurge on that bucket list trip you've always dreamed of taking. Honeymoon expectations are always high, so indulging in a swoon-worthy resort is a must. Do you fantasize about far-flung locales and pristine beaches? Maybe you can't live without unrivaled luxury, unending pampering? From opulent overwater bungalows to secluded suites with private pools and Italian palazzo, you need to discover these romantic honeymoon hideaway resorts.


AZULIK is a sanctuary of relaxation where the jungle meets the sea in Mexico. The villas of AZULIK Tulum create an environment for rest and reconnection. You won't find a television or electric light; the resort reduces the influence technology has on our ability to get in tune with our surroundings.


Jessie recommends the Sea Villa.


The mix of warmth, glamour, and stellar service makes Hotel Santa Caterina stand out resort in Amalfi. Still owned by the family that built the hotel in 1904, it offers a sophisticated and homey retreat. Choose one of the superb suites, each with a sea view bathroom and lovely antiques.


Jessie recommends the Guilietta e Romeo Chalet.


Huddled on the beaches of the Andaman Sea and near Phi Phi Island, Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, depicts the junction of nature and culture. Find a 5-star resort in Thailand where you can awake to sunrise yoga on the beach, spend afternoons hiking Krabi's sumptuous Dragon Crest Mountain and unwind over romantic dinners with spectacular ocean views.


Jessie recommends the Reserve Pool Villa with a Sea View.


Levin Iglut offers incredible glass-enclosed igloos that give honeymooners a luxury experience in the wilderness of Lapland. The views of the mountainous landscape and the polar sky are the ultimate romantic getaway. The unobstructed views of the northern sky from the incline make the resort an ideal place for appreciating the Northern Lights.


Jessie recommends the Suite Igloo.


Rising from the carved native rock, Calilo is surrounded by 1,000 acres of protected land and ringed by golden sand, lapped by a cerulean sea. In a secluded corner of unspoiled Ios and just a stone's throw Mykonos and Santorini, this 30-suite retreat offers an escape from the crowds. Think sun-drenched solitude surrounded by an aged olive-pricked landscape. Calilo has stolen my heart since it emerged on the scene. If given a chance, this remarkable resort will steal yours too.


Jessie recommends the Afterglow Cave Pond Suite or the Blue & You Suite.


I adore this peaceful Mexican retreat; it is perfect for a romantic getaway. You will find eleven rooms with lovely details and refined design. The suites at Akalki provide stunning views of the water. The overwater villas offer direct lagoon access, and each has superb sun decks ideal for relaxing with the one you love. The resort offers kayak tours and sailings through the lagoon.

Jessie recommends Suite Laguna.


Stroll through the incredible forests and play with the lemurs at Madagascar's stunning, luxury eco-resort, Miavana. The resort is home to 14 luxurious private villas, each boasting elegant island-inspired design, unending ocean views, a private pool, and 24/7 pampering at the hands of your butler. But what truly makes it an out-of-this-world experience are the next-gen adventures: lemur trekking, helicopter sightseeing, and whale watching.


Jessie recommends the One-Bedroom Villa.


A stay at Manon Les Suites will be a fantastic experience that you'll never forget. Manon offers a slice of Bali smack in the middle of some of Copenhagen's most beautiful sights! You will find bohemian extravagance, gorgeous design, and a celebratory atmosphere. Manon Les Suites has 87 suites; the resort features a Bali-style indoor pool with a lounge area and a fabulous cozy rooftop terrace.


Jessie recommends the Classic Suite.


JOALI lives on the picture-perfect Muravandhoo island in the Raa Atoll. One of the broadest and deepest atolls in the world. The atoll is home to a myriad of sea life, ensuring the diving is superb. Expect deep blue waters and immaculate white-sand beaches fringed by gently swaying coconut palms.


Jessie recommends the Luxury Water Villa with Pool.


The Royal Mansour is of the few hotels in the world that defy perfection. Mere steps away from the famous Jemaa El Fna square pulse the heart of the Marrakesh Palace. The hotel offers travelers a unique concept of a medina within a medina. There are five separate riads in the hotel, and each area allows honeymooners to go on a sensory journey. It's time to step into the mysterious and magnificent history of one of the most charming hotels in the world.


Jessie recommends the Premier Riad.


Far from the beach crowds, lying in the rainforest's heart, Keemala is an excellent choice for nature-loving couples. Treehouses, tents, and rooms make the most of their lush environment with airy interiors, outdoor showers, and plunge pools. For a truly unique experience, choose one of Keemala's treehouses which nestle on the hillside, with private pools, monsoon showers, and canopy beds. The hotel focuses on wellness, meditation sessions, detoxifying spa treatments, and complimentary jungle treks.

Jessie recommends the Bird's Nest Pool Villas.


Encircled by mountains, this upmarket Alpine chalet resort is perfect for couples that want to spend lots of time snuggled up in front of a roaring fire. The resort is home to 44 different rooms, each with an incredible panoramic view. Are you looking for a unique experience? You won't want to miss the unforgettable awakening during which the resort immerses your bed in the snow so you can enjoy breakfast in bed!


Jessie recommends the Chalet Charlotte.


Situated on a grand mountain ridge, Kura is a small luxury boutique hotel on the island's southern coast. You'll find a unique place where the Osa Peninsula's rainforest-covered peaks meet lovely Pacific Ocean beaches; the superb estate offers six luxury villas, a 62-foot infinity saltwater pool, and a spectacular poolside lounge and spa area. Kura also has an acclaimed restaurant serving traditional Costa Rican cuisine.


Jessie recommends the Master Suite.


Commanding a magnificent stretch of Vietnam's coastline within the flourishing embrace of Nui Chua National Park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Amanoi is an absolute paradise overlooking Vinh Hy Bay. From its secluded spot - a rich and distinct collection of ecosystems – the resort's clifftop eateries and pool, lakeside Aman Spa, and private golden sand beach offer endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, cultural immersion, and quiet time out.


Jessie recommends the Ocean Pool Villa.


Sophia Suites offers a relaxing retreat with brilliant views of the boundless Aegean Blue. This elegant gem is an all-suite retreat for the senses that invites you to share a heavenly, once-in-a-lifetime adventure while marveling at the world's most captivating sunsets.

Jessie recommends the Crypt Exclusive Cave Suite with Private Indoor and Outdoor Pools.

These are the most romantic and luxurious honeymoon resorts in the world, in my opinion. For most couples, their honeymoon is the perfect way to kick off life together and relax after the wedding. And your honeymoon offers the ideal excuse to indulge yourselves with the bucket list trip you have been putting off. Which resorts should I have included?
