Searching for the best honeymoon destinations or honeymoon hotels? There’s certainly no one-size-fits-all-couples getaway—but there are several fantastic regions with five-star resorts known for their romantic, once-in-a-lifetime appeal. Take a Mexican resort whose “department of romance” will set up sleeping under the stars, or a bucolic Vermont farm that will serve a pondside picnic for your partner. Then there are the locations where romance seems to be embedded into the landscape, such as the Amalfi Coast.
Below, the best places to stay on your honeymoon, whether you’re searching for a mini weekend getaway or a far-flung adventure.

The upscale glamour of St. Barths is legendary—and for good reason: the French Caribbean island boasts several five-star resorts, designer shopping, and Michelin-starred dining as well as pristine sandy beaches. Stay at Le Toiny if you seek a discreet, romantic ambience while still wanting to experience the social island that is St. Barths. The whole property is surrounded by wild and rugged terrain—to get to the beach club, guests must board an open-air white safari jeep that will navigate several steep dirt curves before reaching its luxurious, tucked-away destination, known for its lobster salad and local tuna tartar. The rooms are airy, crisp, and undoubtedly luxurious—plus, each comes with a private plunge pool with ocean views. Otherwise, Cheval Blanc St. Barths—owned by luxury group LVMH—is the place to stay: shrouded in bougainvillea arches and greenery, it exudes a French Riviera meets-the-tropics energy.
