FAQs

FAQs

What are the most popular honeymoon destinations?

The Maldives, Mauritius, Santorini, the Caribbean and Bali are top honeymoon choices, loved for their adults-only resorts, overwater villas or romantic, scenic settings.

Is it worth booking an adults-only hotel for a honeymoon?

Many couples prefer adults-only resorts for a honeymoon for quieter, more relaxed vibes, though plenty of family-friendly hotels also offer honeymoon suites and romantic extras if you'd rather not restrict yourself.

What honeymoon extras can you add to a holiday booking?

Common honeymoon extras include room upgrades, champagne or sparkling wine on arrival, romantic dinners, spa treatments and late check-out – it's worth mentioning your honeymoon when booking so these can be arranged.

How far in advance should you book a honeymoon?

Booking six to twelve months ahead generally gives the best choice of honeymoon suites, overwater villas or peak-season dates, particularly for in-demand destinations like the Maldives or Santorini.

What's the best time of year for a honeymoon in the Maldives or Caribbean?

The dry season, roughly November to April, tends to offer the most reliable sunshine for both the Maldives and the Caribbean, avoiding the wetter, more humid months.
