After you’ve accomplished the ‘I Dos’ and you’re ready to unwind just the two of you, a honeymoon will be the next thing on your mind. Make it one to remember amid a luxurious landscape of whichever climate suits you both the most. With such a wide range of ways to make a honeymoon the perfect luxury, here is a guide for everything you need to know to perfect the plans.
The Best Time to Go on a Luxurious HoneymoonÂ
Ultimately, depending on the chosen destination and weather preferences, there is no right or wrong time to go on a luxurious honeymoon.
Renowned tropical regions like the Maldives or the Caribbean experience distinct wet and dry seasons. It would be wise to avoid the rainy season, as hurricanes can be a regular occurrence in tropical climates. Disruptions to attractions can be unavoidable if the weather gets to its most extreme during this time. In the Maldives, May to October is the dry season ideal for classic activities like world-class diving and snorkeling. In the Caribbean, December to April is when the dry season occurs.
On the European side of the world, however, season variations are less extreme. For sunlit days ambling cobblestone streets in capital cities, or beach days lazing by the sea, late spring to early autumn can be perfect. While the peak summer season will bring the warmest temperatures and mostly sunny skies, regions can become packed with tourists, so earlier and later on in the season can provide more blissful luxury settings.
The Asian landscape is so vast that climates differ between countries. Indonesia and Thailand are most ideal from April to October yet Japan is most stunning in the spring season as cherry blossoms bloom. Similar to tropical regions, Asia has a distinct monsoon season that should be avoided.
Different Kinds of Luxurious HoneymoonsÂ
Whether you’re dreaming of a serene country stay or an adventurous cross-continent journey, there are countless ways to indulge in a luxurious honeymoon. From beach getaways and city escapes to mountain retreats and adventurous pursuits, there’s something to cater to every couple’s desires.
Embark on an opulent cruise through Croatia, where each night brings restful elegance in a private stateroom and each day offers the chance to explore the charm and unique features of various islands. Alternatively, immerse yourself in Japanese culture by staying at a deluxe ryokan in Kyoto. Engage in private tea ceremonies and visit ancient temples for a truly cultural experience. If Paris is your choice, enjoy the romance of private guided tours of historic landmarks, exclusive shopping experiences, and exquisite dining at world-class restaurants while staying in a charming, boutique hotel with elegant, personalised service and a cosy, intimate atmosphere.Â
Things to Do on a Luxurious HoneymoonÂ
Whether luxury to you means classic lazing out and indulging in world-class spas, or you’d prefer more exclusive private dining and unworldly adventures, there is so much to do on a luxury honeymoon.
For a summer honeymoon, embark on a private candlelit dinner beside the beach. With personalised and exclusive menus, enjoy once-in-a-lifetime date nights ideal for reminiscing about the wedding. In bustling metropolitan cities, even embark on sky dining, where you indulge in a luxury meal while 150 feet in the air. Marvel at the monuments of Sydney or the bright lights of Dubai at dusk from an aerial view. Head to some of the world’s best vineyards and wineries for exclusive tasting sessions and Michelin-starred food pairing menus. Food is the perfect catalyst for some of the most incredible honeymoon experiences.
Spend nights in luxury glamping accommodations so that you can appreciate the beauty of the stars overhead. For those drawn to Mediterranean warmth, a stay in luxury villas in Sicily offers an idyllic escape. Nestled along the island’s stunning coastline or in the heart of lush vineyards.

Like packing for any trip, it is crucial to bring all the essentials to ensure the best honeymoon experience unfolds. For classic luxury, include your best formal attire for date nights alongside comfortable wear for daily exploring. Essentials like SPF, insect repellents, and medication can ensure any potential issues are quickly diminished. Make sure to include any home comforts that can ensure utmost relaxation throughout the whole holiday. Be sure to save some suitcase space for plenty of souvenirs to return home with. Momentos will be too tempting to resist, to help you never forget the most luxurious honeymoon.
