With most weddings taking upwards of a year to plan, couples endure months of stress, organising and financial strain before they say “I do.” 

Once upon a time, the idea of a honeymoon was limited to an adults-only resort on a trip to Hawaii, a beach bungalow in Jamaica or a Caribbean resort boasting plunge pools. Today, honeymoons can go further and reflect the newly married couple and their travel style. 

The following all-inclusive honeymoon resorts are the best destinations for newlyweds to unwind after their big day. Read on to get inspired for your post-nuptial bliss and to discover the best honeymoon destinations you should add to your list.xury romantic holiday

The Brando - Tetiaroa, French Polynesia

Located in French Polynesia, The Brando sits on the pristine private island of Tetiaroa, reachable only by private plane. Tetiaroa is just 30 miles from Tahiti and was once the go-to vacation spot for Tahitian royalty, and then for the actor Marlon Brando (for whom the resort is named), who used the island as his personal getaway. This all-inclusive resort offers villas with an open-air terrace, a private swimming pool and access to the beautiful beaches right outside your doorstep. And lest you fear a private island in French Polynesia means being disconnected from family, each villa is fully equipped with Wi-Fi and a full media room. 

Even when flying to a private island, you can still have plenty of options for dining, wellness and entertainment — and The Brando does not disappoint. Beyond the on-site spa, shopping and bevy of entertainment options, you’ll find six restaurants and bars offering everything from classic French Polynesian fare to vegan menus and Japanese cuisine. The different restaurants vary in theme and decadence. Les Mutinés, for example, is perfect for a special occasion, and Bob’s Bar (named for Marlon Brando) is ideal for a casual beachfront cocktail.

Special Perks just for you:

$100 hotel / resort credit, daily breakfast, an upgrade and extended check-in/out whenever possible.

Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle - Chiang Rai, Thailand

The Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle is about as magical a honeymoon destination as one can find. Don’t be deterred by the word “camp,” as this is luxury camping at its finest. Located in Northern Thailand, on the borders of Myanmar and Laos, tented rooms come equipped with private terraces, outdoor showers and wooden hot tubs that overlook the Ruak River and surrounding jungle. For larger accommodations, book the Explorer’s Lodge, which houses up to six people, and features a lamplit veranda and a private tree-lined infinity pool.

Beyond the glamorous tents and beautiful views, what makes this hideaway a unique honeymoon experience are the various activities to choose from. Spend a day with rescued elephants, watching the pachyderms splash about in a pond or travelling to Chiang Rai to visit the stunning temples of Wat Huay Pla Kung, the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) and the Blue Temple (Wat Rong Suea Ten) with a private guide.

The Green O - Greenough, Montana

Montana might not immediately scream honeymoon destination, but adult-only Green O is a romantic woodland hideaway that should not be overlooked. If you’re looking for a honeymoon getaway that is quiet and remote every day, then look no further than The Green O, which is tucked deep in the woods of the 37,000-acre Paws Up Ranch, surrounded by towering pines.

Accommodations at The Green O are found in the various houses (called haus), each offering a unique design. Take the Tree Haus, for example. This two-story living space stands 23 feet off the ground and is a stunning space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a master bedroom with a large soaking tub. The Round Haus, on the other hand, has a different look entirely, with curved walls and windows offering panoramic views of the Montana wilderness. There is arguably no better place for newlyweds to settle into marital bliss than this luxury romantic holiday. But should you miss the company of other humans, there is a Social Haus, with a stellar restaurant and bar.

Special Perks:

$300 hotel / resort credit, complimentary bottle of wine, breakfast daily, extended check-in/out whenever possible.
