Trending Honeymoon & Anniversary Destinations: Where Romance Is Taking Travelers Next


Trending Honeymoon & Anniversary Destinations: Where Romance Is Taking Travelers Next


There are vacations... and then there are trips you’ll talk about for the rest of your lives.



A honeymoon or anniversary trip deserves to feel different. This is the time to splurge on the incredible view, linger over dinner, finally visit that bucket-list destination, and create memories that belong to just the two of you.



And today’s couples are looking beyond the traditional “fly somewhere tropical and sit on a beach” getaway. Romance travel is becoming more personal, experiential and adventurous.



So, where should you celebrate your next chapter together?



Here are some of the destinations capturing couples’ attention right now.


🇮🇹 Italy: For the Couple Who Wants a Little of Everything




If romance had an address, there’s a good chance it would be somewhere in Italy.



Lake Como
Lake Como




Imagine sipping wine among the rolling hills of Tuscany, cruising past colorful villages along the Amalfi Coast, wandering cobblestone streets in Florence, or watching the sun disappear behind Lake Como.



Italy is especially appealing because you don’t have to choose between relaxation, culture, incredible food and unforgettable scenery- you can build all of them into one trip.



Perfect for: Foodies, wine lovers, first-time Europe travelers and couples who want romance with plenty to see and do.



Make it unforgettable: Pair two contrasting destinations, such as Rome + the Amalfi Coast or Florence + Tuscany, instead of trying to squeeze five cities into one vacation.


🇬🇷 Greece: For Sunsets, Island Hopping & Effortless Romance




Whitewashed villages. Brilliant blue water. Long lunches overlooking the Aegean.



Greece practically invented the romantic vacation aesthetic.



Santorini remains iconic, but couples are increasingly interested in combining the famous islands with places that offer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.



Think a few nights soaking up those legendary Santorini views followed by an escape to Crete, Paros, Naxos or Milos.



Perfect for: Couples who want European culture and a beach vacation in the same itinerary.



Greece




Make it unforgettable: Don't spend the entire trip rushing between islands. Choose two and give yourself time to actually enjoy them.


🇯🇵 Japan: For Couples Who Want Something Completely Different




Japan is having a major honeymoon moment- and it's easy to understand why.



A trip can include the electric energy and Michelin-worthy dining of Tokyo, temples and traditional experiences in Kyoto, a stay in a romantic ryokan, incredible countryside and even a tropical extension.



It feels adventurous while still offering the sophisticated hotels, exceptional service and memorable dining experiences milestone travelers often want.


Kyoto



Perfect for: Foodies, culture lovers, adventurous couples and travelers who want their honeymoon or anniversary to feel truly distinctive.



Make it unforgettable: Add a night or two at a traditional ryokan with an onsen experience between your city stays.


🇲🇻 The Maldives: For the “Do Absolutely Nothing” Honeymoon




Sometimes romance means adventure.


Maldives
Maldives



Sometimes it means waking up in an overwater villa and realizing you have nowhere you need to be.



The Maldives continues to deliver the fantasy: turquoise lagoons, powder-soft beaches, private pools, overwater villas, snorkeling, spa treatments and candlelit dinners beneath the stars.



This is where you go when the goal is to disconnect from everything except each other.



Perfect for: Honeymooners who need serious relaxation after wedding planning and anniversary couples looking for a major splurge.



Make it unforgettable: Your resort matters enormously in the Maldives. The right island, villa category, meal plan and transfer experience can completely change the trip.


🇵🇫 French Polynesia: For the Ultimate Bucket-List Celebration




Bora Bora has been synonymous with honeymoons for decades, but French Polynesia offers far more than one famous lagoon.







Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora can be combined into an island-hopping itinerary filled with dramatic mountains, crystal-clear water, snorkeling, Polynesian culture and some seriously spectacular resorts.



And yes- the overwater bungalow is every bit as dreamy as it looks.



Perfect for: Couples celebrating a honeymoon, 10th, 20th or “we've waited long enough” anniversary.



Make it unforgettable: Combine multiple islands rather than staying in one place. Moorea + Bora Bora creates a beautiful mix of exploration and indulgence.


🇮🇩 Bali: For Wellness, Adventure & Affordable Luxury




Bali offers something many couples love: contrast.







You can wake up surrounded by jungle and rice terraces in Ubud, visit temples and waterfalls during the day, enjoy an incredible spa treatment in the afternoon, and then finish the trip beside the ocean.



Private-pool villas and beautiful boutique resorts can also make the destination feel incredibly indulgent.



Perfect for: Wellness lovers, adventurous couples and travelers who want culture and relaxation.



Make it unforgettable: Split your stay between inland Bali and the coast so you experience two completely different sides of the island.


🌴 St. Lucia: For Caribbean Romance With a Wow Factor




If you want tropical without traveling halfway around the world, put St. Lucia on the list.



The island's dramatic Piton mountains create one of the Caribbean's most recognizable landscapes, while romantic resorts, private plunge pools, beaches, waterfalls and sunset cruises make it easy to turn a week away into something special.



Perfect for: Couples who want an upscale Caribbean honeymoon or anniversary with both relaxation and adventure.







Make it unforgettable: Choose your resort based on the experience you want... not simply the prettiest room. Location can make a big difference in St. Lucia.


🦁 South Africa + Safari: For the Couple Who Wants a Story to Tell




Not every romantic trip needs to involve an overwater bungalow.



For couples craving something extraordinary, a South African adventure can combine Cape Town, wine country and a luxury safari into one spectacular itinerary.



Imagine sharing your morning coffee while watching elephants, heading out on a private game drive, and returning to your lodge for dinner beneath an enormous African sky.



That's an anniversary story you'll be telling for decades.





Perfect for: Adventurous couples, wildlife lovers and honeymooners who value experiences over traditional romance.



Make it unforgettable: Finish the adventure with a few relaxing nights on an island or beach destination for the best of both worlds.


The Biggest Romance Travel Trend? Making the Trip Personal.




The most exciting honeymoon and anniversary trend isn't actually a destination.



It's personalization.



Couples are increasingly asking, “What kind of trip feels like us?” instead of simply asking, “Where does everyone go for a honeymoon?”



That might mean Italy for the couple who plans every vacation around dinner reservations.



Japan for the couple who wants to explore from morning until night.



The Maldives for newlyweds who desperately need to unplug.



Or an African safari for the pair who would rather collect once-in-a-lifetime experiences than sit beside a pool.



The best romantic getaway isn't necessarily the destination with the most overwater bungalows or sunset photos.



It's the destination you'll still be talking about on your next anniversary.


Ready to Make It Happen?




Your honeymoon or anniversary isn’t just another vacation—it’s a celebration of your story. And the little details matter. The right destination, resort, room, experiences, and itinerary can turn a great trip into one you’ll be talking about for years.



Whether you’re dreaming of sipping wine in Tuscany, waking up over the water in Bora Bora, watching the sunset in Santorini, or heading out on safari together, I’d love to help you bring that trip to life.

9 Certificates & Awards

Hyatt Inclusive Collection
Hyatt Inclusive Collection

The Certified Confidant designation is earned through Hyatt's Inclusive Collection Confidant Collective program — the official training and certification platform for one of the most prestigious luxury all-inclusive portfolios in the world. Earning it requires completing ten core Confidant Learning courses, passing each with a score of 85% or higher covering the full portfolio of Hyatt's all-inclusive brands including Secrets, Dreams, Breathless, Zoëtry, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Vivid, and more — spanning Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and beyond.


For you, that means when I recommend a Hyatt Inclusive Collection property, I know the difference between brands, room categories, and experiences — and exactly which one fits your trip. Not every resort is right for every traveler, and this certification means I can guide you to the one that's actually right for you.

Certified Beaches Resorts Specialist
Certified Beaches Resorts Specialist

The Certified Beaches Resorts Specialist designation is one of the most recognized credentials in luxury all-inclusive travel. Earning it requires completing an in-depth training program covering every aspect of the Beaches Resorts resort portfolios — room categories, destinations, inclusions, group experiences, and destination weddings.


The program spans 21 lessons across four chaptera covering everything from resort comparisons to booking strategy — and it covers both brands. Beaches Resorts is the gold standard in adults-only, luxury all-inclusive Caribbean travel. Beaches extends that same level of quality to family travel.


For you, that means when I recommend a Beaches Resorts or Beaches resort, I'm not pulling from a website — I'm drawing on specialized, brand-certified knowledge of exactly what each property offers and which one is right for your trip.

Briana is an absolute rockstar! She took time to listen to what we were looking for and searched until we found the perfect spot! She checked in multiple times leading up to the trip. Made sure all of my questions were answered-and there were A LOT of questions! Never made me feel like I was a bother. Everything went smoothly and I know that’s in large part to having her book and schedule everything for us! We are already planning our next trip with her! Highly recommend!

BEST WE'VE HAD
BEST WE`VE HAD

Thank you so much for helping us plan our trip! We had a wonderful time! Secrets the Vine was a fantastic little resort, perfect for shorter trips! Food was overall fantastic, the view from our room was probably the best we’ve had out of all the countries and resorts we’ve stayed at, and the service was amazing also. My only complaint was that they do not have enough pool or beach seating. So many people wake up at 5am to go throw towels on chairs for the day that if you don’t get up that early you’re SOL until someone leaves later in the day. We ended up having to rent a beach cabana one day to get on the beach at all.

Outstanding Planning, First-Class Experience ✈️

Outstanding planning and direction. Called on a whim, two days later I’m sipping a cool drink beach/poolside in another country. 1st class service brought me first class experience. The destination treated me like a king.No issues. The nice thing is, as a senior, Bre set my WhatsApp with her so I felt like , although 1900 miles away, I had a safety unmbrella over. Bre made sure I was covered for any medical emergency to have an critical path back home if needed. Bre , through general conversation my meal preference picked out for my flights! (Sliders were awesome). They already knew! That about covers a seemlessoperation. Thanks Bre, Yellowstone USA next. MFStone
