Getting engaged in an exotic paradise, getting wed by the sea, and exploring vast lands on a honeymoon holiday can come to fruition with us. Let’s share some love and introduce you to the dreamiest of hotels…
Indian Ocean
I’m sure it comes as no surprise that the Indian Ocean is on our list! We all know why – with its panoramic turquoise waters that go on for as far as the eye can see, its golden sands that just want to be walked with bare feet upon, and its encapsulating display of palms and greenery, this beautifully serene destination will ensure anyone gets in the romantic spirit. Not to mention the sunsets – We can’t think of anything more swoon-worthy than a sky blended with oranges and pink. The Maldives and Mauritius are two of the most sought-after places within the Indian Ocean, and you are in luck here as we have one hotel for each!
- Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives
First up we have our sparkling Maldives showstopper – the Cinnamon Dhonveli Resort. This tropical paradise is not only placed conveniently near the capital Male, but it is also home to the world-famous surf spot called Pasta Point. Why not take to the water as a couple and explore North Male Atoll’s 4-6 feet high waves? If you love the ocean but surfing isn’t to your liking, then there’s no need to fret as there are some other incredible water-based activities to experience. Explore the depths of the deep sea by snorkelling or diving or keep your head firmly above water and stay afloat on a speed boat ride. The resort itself has an outstanding array of well-lit and stylised rooms, suites, and bungalows that will become your home away from home. Cosy and romantic whilst overlooking the vast blue.
- Lux Grande Gaube Resort
Mauritius is located in the south-west of the Indian Ocean, and near the south-eastern coast of South Africa. The tropical climate is like that of the Maldives and holidays here are filled with days of warm sunshine and sea breezes. In terms of characteristics, this beautiful location can be split into three: impressive mountain ranges, pristine white beaches, and vibrant coral reefs – sand, sea, and air in equal quantities. The Lux Grand Gaube Resort can be found on the north coast of the island boarding two coves and is classed as a retro-chic hotel. Villa life here is like no other, couples can make the most of the morning and delight in a scrumptious floating tray of treats in the pool and can after partake in a private yoga session to let the food go down. Or maybe trying something new with your significant other is more your style…well why not try a candlelight dinner in the dark. Yes, a blindfolded meal focused on heightening the senses relying solely on taste and smell.
Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is rapidly becoming a holiday hot spot and a favourited romantic escape for many couples seeking a loved-up adventure. This faraway location has striking landscapes and fascinating culture, not to mention cuisine with exciting flavours and local dishes. The traditions and life here is something to behold. Phuket and Bali are two wonderful locations and the best places to seek a well-rounded Southeast Asia experience.
- Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort
Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and is best known for its long list of aesthetics: tropical beaches, engaging nightlife, colourful markets, tasty seafood, scuba diving, and of course the white marble Big Buddha – treat your loved one to a day trip here and be fully immersed in culture! As for hotels, there is a fantastic selection of romantic accommodations with outstanding couple activities. Our top pick is the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort, not only is it based in Kamala Beach right on the coast of the Andaman Sea, but it also has a whole host of added amenities for partners. Discover a dreamy evening for two at the clifftop tapas bar and watch the sun go down over a bottle of bubbly or get hands-on and try a Muay Thai Boxing Class – a must-do activity when in Phuket. As for the rooms and suites, well these are spacious and provide guests with a private terrace and balcony – views for days!
- Movenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran
You may know Bali for its warm hospitality and varied landscape of hills and mountains, but for couples, it can be so much more! There are a large number of sights to see here with architectural landmarks encased with historical facts that are all set against natural backdrops. Seek Balinese wellness at the Movenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran which is only a short 5-minute walk from the beach. Once inside, you are hit with a nurtured reception that extends to the impressive accommodation. The guest rooms are rustic and warm, perfectly encapsulating the nature-packed view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Get the full romantic Bali experience and race your significant other in the pool or relax in the Arkipela Spa whilst getting closer to your partner with a Urut Jawa Javanese Massage.
America
Looking closer to home, America has long been a popular holiday destination for couples seeking the new and exciting whilst confining in the comfort of a shared language. Vast plains, open lakes, snow-covered peaks, forests, and eye-catching cities encompass all that this astonishing destination is. Guests can seek a balance here, with powerful nature and extravagant skyscrapers perfectly working hand-in-hand. When food is thrown into the picture, well the local cuisine is definitely part of the all-American experience, something to share with the person you love. Now, the Big Apple. Couples flock here year in and year out to get a slice of this urban jungle – New York is one of the best places for a date, who wouldn’t want to share memories whilst looking out at the lights?
- JW Marriott Essex House New York
This hotel is placed facing Central Park, just a short walk away from Fifth Avenue, Columbus Circle, and the Lincoln Centre making it the perfect location for a well-rounded New York experience. JW Marriott Essex House has both gorgeous guest rooms and terrace suites with views leading straight our into the metropolis. Designed with art deco furnishings and facilitated with all the essentials and more, the accommodation here provides a snug and lavish space ideal for two.
