Maldives: Kuramathi and Kandolhu
Famed for being the ultimate honeymoon destination for lovers across the globe, the Maldives offers the perfect pair of islands for a luxurious beach honeymoon: Kuramathi and Kandolhu.
The larger of the two, Kuramathi, is one of Maldives' most popular islands and honeymoon resorts. There’s plenty to do here, from snorkelling on the house reef to relaxing in beachfront infinity pools, tanning by the sea, and cruising the waters at sunset, to name a few.
A food-lovers paradise, honeymooning couples will delight in the fantastic range of restaurants here. Indulge in a sumptuous island barbecue on the beach, go to Siam Garden for authentic Thai dishes, and treat yourself to some fine dining at Duniye. The laid-back Sand Bar invites you to snuggle up on a bean bag with a cocktail, and the trendy Champagne Loft boasts an extensive Champagne and bubbly list.
With a phenomenal range of modern facilities, lavish water villas, and trails through fragrant gardens to pristine beaches, Kuramathi has everything you could need for a dreamy escape.
But if you want more, pair this with a stay at the tranquil Kandolhu, just a quick sail southwest of Kuramathi. Kandolhu has only 30 villas and is often voted one of the world’s most romantic hotels, making it a must for your once-in-a-lifetime getaway.
Beautiful Kandolhu presents the best of both worlds: a picture-perfect tiny island with a lush green interior encircled by glorious white sands and coral reefs, yet with a fantastic choice of restaurants that belie its tiny size. With five exclusive à la carte restaurants on the island, this intimate setting provides the perfect atmosphere for you and your SO to soak up each other’s company.
These two gorgeous islands couldn’t be more different from one another, so they make an excellent combination for couples seeking variety in their holiday.
Exclusive to Kuoni in the UK, the team offers an exceptional all-inclusive package for the ultimate Maldives escape.
Greece: Mykonos and Santorini
For the best twin-centre holidays in Greece, Kuoni can’t recommend Mykonos and Santorini enough as enchanting escapes for a romantic honeymoon in the Cyclades, southeast of mainland Greece.
Indulge in the pursuit of pleasure in bohemian Mykonos. With its bustling nightlife and blissful summer ambience, Mykonos is ideal for couples looking to party on their honeymoon.
Mykonos has that quintessential Greek charm that attracts luxury lovers – whether lounging on the beach or dancing in the club. For your stay in Mykonos, Kuoni can recommend an all-inclusive stay for the stunning Grace Mykonos.
This tranquil sanctuary overlooks the glittering Aegean Sea and blends classic Greek architecture with sleek, contemporary style. On your first day, wake up to a late Champagne breakfast before relaxing by the pool or heading straight to the boutique spa.
You might be reluctant to leave your love nest, but when you do, you can embark on amazing wine and food tours, adventurous boat trips, vibrant nightlife activities, and one-of-a-kind Cycladic photoshoots.
One of the most renowned islands in the world, Santorini is ideal for part two of your magical island-hopping honeymoon. It's famed for being on many people’s bucket lists, so you can check Santorini off yours for your post-wedding vacay.
This Insta-friendly island is just a ferry away from Mykonos, but even journeying to your next location will include awe-inspiring views of the Greek islands. White-washed buildings and blue-domed churches are nestled into the cliffsides of this ancient place, with calderas peppering the landscape and enriching the scenery from its volcanic history.
Stay at the romantic and exclusive Grace Santorini, Auberge Resorts Collection. Best described as an architect’s dream, this hotel is carved into the hillside and features an award-winning, heated infinity pool. With front-row seats of the sunset on your private sea-view terrace, you’ll find yourselves on cloud nine.
Active couples will adore the coastal hike from Oia to Fira, where spellbinding vistas provide the backdrop to your romantic holiday.
This Greek duo offers the best of both worlds for couples – from the vibrant nightclubs and summer parties of Mykonos to the serene vistas and iconic cliffside buildings of Santorini, Kuoni can help create your fantasy honeymoon in Greece.
Caribbean: Barbados and the Grenadines
Jewel-like islands where you can hike, dive, and lie on white-sand beaches all on the same day. The rhythmic sound of steel drum beats. Rum punch delivered directly to your sun lounger…
Life in the Caribbean is famously laidback, but each island has its own character and style. Pair up Barbados and the Grenadines for an unforgettable twin-centre honeymoon.
The birthplace of rum and big on personality, Barbados is a firm favourite for its mouth-watering food, dazzling beaches, and social spots where you can chat with friendly locals.
Not just a haven for natural scenery and turquoise waters, the island is brimming with phenomenal historical sites that will tickle any history-loving brain. You may even choose to visit during the Barbados Sugar and Rum Season between January and April.
You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to luxe hotels – go all out with a stay at the A-listers’ favourite, Sandy Lane, or hang out at the fresh new O2 Beach Club & Spa by Ocean Hotels.
Over on the emerald-clad islands of the Grenadines, unspoilt and sufficiently inaccessible (so it can stay that way), it’s all about the serene Caribbean experience. Wild and untamed, this glorious setting has a jaw-dropping landscape of lush flora and unique fauna – it’s no wonder it was chosen as one of the film sets for Pirates of the Caribbean.
Immerse yourself in the local scene without crowds to distract you and explore the coral reefs, volcanic peaks, and pristine beaches. Switch off at a retreat like Palm Island Resort & Spa, a 135-acre private island paradise where you can kayak or snorkel to spot turtles in the mornings and then sway the afternoons away in a hammock.
There’s lots more to do, like cycling on rainforest trails, watersports, and visiting the local towns brimming with spirit.
Visiting more than one island allows you to see the best of both sides of the culture and nature of the Caribbean. With different but equally captivating atmospheres, Kuoni can set you up with the perfect resorts and experiences Barbados and the Grenadines have to offer.
Bali: Tembok and Ubud
Bali is a dream honeymoon destination – a seamless blend of welcoming culture, intriguing architecture, incredible beaches, and glorious natural beauty.
It’s a place synonymous with tranquillity and pleasure. Why not take in as much as possible from this idyllic location by spending your post-wedding vacay in Tembok and Ubud? With Kuoni’s twin-centre honeymoon suggestion, you can!
Fronting a volcanic black-sand beach in the traditional fishing village of Tembok, you’ll find a wellness retreat where it’s all about mind, body, and soul. For a place where you can completely relax, unwind and enjoy each other’s company, look to Spa Village Resort Tembok, Bali.
This adult-only resort has no TVs in rooms and encourages no mobile phones in public spaces so that you can immerse yourself in this spiritual oasis. Tune into your well-being and indulge in a complimentary daily spa treatment sure to delight the senses and welcome peace of mind.
Look forward to exploring the beautiful temples in the area, traditional Balinese dancing, sunset cruises, and picturesque hikes.
Once you're feeling suitably zen, head to hip Ubud to check out its stunning rice terraces, cool café culture, and eclectic art galleries. Submerge in nature at Sankara Suites & Villas, a luxury rural retreat just 10 minutes north of Ubud.
With its unique treetop infinity pool overlooking the verdant valley below, caring and attentive staff, and gorgeous design throughout, you’ll believe heaven really is a place on Earth. When looking to dive into artsy Ubud’s fun festivities, the hotel can create a bespoke itinerary filled with memorable activities.
Cycle by rice fields, embark on sunrise hikes, go quad biking, and even make your own jewellery to commemorate your milestone.
As the only UK tour operator working with Sankara Suites & Villas, couples can enjoy an unrivalled honeymoon experience in Bali without lifting a finger. The Kuoni travel experts always recommend a twin-centre holiday in Bali so newlyweds can indulge in the very best of the island.
Sri Lanka: Cultural Triangle & The Hill Country and Bentota Beach
Sandy beaches, a diverse culture, and incredible nature come together on the tropical tear-drop island of Sri Lanka, where unique and unexpected adventures await you.
Sri Lanka has endless beauty, and pairing a stay in the Cultural Triangle & The Hill Country with a beach holiday in Bentota invites couples to go off the beaten track for a unique experience.
More than just a destination for heavenly beaches, Sri Lanka is a paradise for culture-loving couples looking to learn about life, art, and history on their honeymoon.
Explore the Cultural Triangle & The Hill Country in the heart of the island, where Buddhist temples and fortresses, ruins of sacred ancient cities, and relics of a colonial age stand as historical landmarks.
And if that’s not quite enough to tempt you, there are still rolling tea plantations and wildlife-rich parks and reserves where elephants, leopards, crocodiles, and sloth bears roam free to discover.
Kuoni’s package includes a personal driver who will safely get you wherever you want. Your driver can also suggest remarkable places you won’t find in any guidebook – there’s nothing quite like having someone who knows the island inside-out to show you hidden treasures.
For your beach paradise escape, Kuoni can hook you up with an all-inclusive stay in the lavish Cinnamon Bentota Beach. Nestled on the Bentota coastline, this tranquil beachfront retreat is the epitome of luxury in southwest Sri Lanka.
Immersed in wild coconut groves by a mangrove-edged river, its vibrant grounds are not the only jaw-dropping feature of this resort. While most of Cinnamon Bentota Beach has been renovated, the original lobby by architect Geoffrey Bawa remains and is one of the island’s most inspiring designs.
A tribute to classic Sri Lankan style, rich tapestry adorns the ceiling held by soaring wooden columns on a polished concrete floor. During your stay, you can drift down the Bentota River, dine in the exquisite all-day restaurant, partake in watersports, rent bikes, and relax on the beach.
Talk to Kuoni's travel experts, who can tailor-make the perfect Sri Lanka honeymoon for you.
Indian Ocean: Mauritius and La Réunion
The Indian Ocean is sprinkled with beautiful islands teeming with extraordinary flora and fauna and some of the most breathtaking views you’ll ever see. For something a little different, why not head to La Réunion and add some adventure to your Mauritius honeymoon?
Little visited La Réunion is the perfect pre-stay to a beach holiday in Mauritius, combining rugged and adventurous landscapes with beautiful beaches. The French identity and rich culture show remnants of the diverse history of this small but incredible island.
Skip the legwork and cars because helicopter flights are the best way to see the island to make the most of the stunning Jurassic-like landscape. The scenery is simply stunning, from epic mountain peaks to ancient volcanoes, canyons, and cascading waterfalls.
Once you’re all tuckered out from your adventure in La Réunion, head to Mauritius for a glorious seaside retreat. Fringed with spectacular coral reefs and pure white sands lapped by crystal clear waters, Mauritius is a coveted castaway island and a top honeymoon choice.
Enjoy lazy days by the beach with coconut cocktails and embark on peaceful marine and island adventures. A melting pot of Indian, Creole, European, and Chinese cultures, you can encounter anything from remarkable Hindu temples to Victorian colonial mansions.
You and your beloved can swim in turquoise lagoons, spend afternoons on the renowned golf courses, and dine on the incredible cuisine this multicultural island has to offer.
Couples looking to kick-start their honeymoon with excitement and adventure followed by the ultimate relaxation experience will love Kuoni’s top suggestions for where to stay. Start with four nights at LUX★ Saint Gilles in La Réunion and eight days in Mauritius at LUX★ Le Morne.
Italy: Rome and Sorrento

Rome holidays are as photogenic as your wildest dreams, so don’t hold back when capturing memories in this stunning city.

There is so much to do here, from shopping the latest Italian fashion trends to eating phenomenal food and gazing at some of the best artwork ever to be created in galleries.
