If the wedding is the main course, the honeymoon is the dessert – and for many, it’s the sweetest part. Whether you’re dreaming of a jungle wellness escape in Thailand, a sun-soaked Vietnamese beach getaway with champagne yacht cruises and private pools, the cinematic romance of Lake Como, or the timeless charm of Paris, here are four incredible hotels for an unforgettable honeymoon.
Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, Thailand

Set among rice paddies and lush jungle, the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai offers a luxurious and romantic escape that’s perfect for a honeymoon. The resort blends Northern Thai style with modern comforts, from a world-class spa and wellness programme – including yoga, breathwork, Reiki and crystal sound healing – to immersive activities like Thai cooking classes and bike rides through the Mae Rim Valley

If you’d rather leave the planning to someone else, the concierge can arrange a curated couples’ itinerary. It includes everything from aqua workouts and cultural experiences like tie-dye, rice planting and candle making, to wellness rituals such as revitalising baths, Thai herbal compresses or a traditional herbal steam.
Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Lake Como, Italy

History, elegance and romance come together at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, a stunning Italian villa perched on the edge of Lake Como. A favourite of high society for over a century, this iconic hotel invites you to live like modern-day aristocrats as you wander its opulent grounds hand in hand. Lounge by one of the swimming pools – including one that floats on the lake – book a couple’s treatment at the spa, or challenge each other to a match on the tennis courts.

Feeling adventurous? Take a self-drive boat across the lake, sip your way through the vineyards of Valtellina, or master the art of pizza-making by tossing dough like a true pizzaiolo. It’s little wonder this jewel of Como draws celebrities: locals George and Amal Clooney have been known to drop by, as have famous former flames Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
Regent Phu Quoc, Vietnam

Set on the tranquil shores of Phu Quoc, the Regent Phu Quoc is a striking all-suites and villas resort that opened in 2022 – and it’s quickly become a go-to for honeymooners seeking understated luxury by the sea. Sleek, modern and quietly glamorous, this beachfront escape invites you to slow down and savour the moment.

Spend your days wandering the soft white sands, doing some relaxed reading in a hammock, or slipping into your private pool. Come evening, dine under the stars, chase waterfalls, or unwind with a couple’s spa ritual. For something extra special, step aboard the hotel’s Serenity yacht for a champagne sunset cruise – a toast to romance with the island’s golden coastline as your backdrop. Don’t miss Oku, the hotel’s stand-out restaurant featuring a Japanese-French menu, complete with an omakase atelier and a salon de boeuf.
Cheval Blanc Paris, France

Ah, Paris – the undisputed capital of romance. Set along the Seine, Cheval Blanc Paris is a five-star retreat imagined by architect Peter Marino, blending art deco elegance with a deep respect for French savoir faire. Rooms are sophisticated yet warm, with sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and the river that runs through it all.

The Dior Spa Cheval Blanc offers an indulgent wellness experience, with treatments designed to leave you feeling relaxed and restored. And while the hotel invites quiet moments – a slow morning with room service, an afternoon spent people-watching from your balcony – there are grander gestures on offer too. Book a private helicopter ride over the Champagne region, take a sunset cruise along the Seine, or toast the evening with a candlelit dinner in your suite.
