Our Hotel Recommendations for a Honeymoon
From Rajasthan to French Polynesia, from Venice to Mauritius, these honeymoons are tailored to offer the experience of a lifetime. It was a tough choice, but YONDER has selected the cream of the crop of hotels for a dream honeymoon. Because living on love and fresh water is wonderful, but why not do it in the luxurious setting of a 5-star hotel?
1. Mauritius: Constance Prince Maurice
The hotel? It’s one of the island’s most prestigious destinations for a honeymoon or to celebrate a wedding anniversary. A member of Leading Hotels of the World, this intimate retreat is nestled on a private peninsula, surrounded by golden-sand beaches, tropical gardens, and mangroves, in the heart of a 60-hectare estate. The Balinese-inspired pavilions, crafted from precious woods, blend seamlessly into the lush natural surroundings. The 89 suites and villas combine modern comfort with tropical elegance, either right on the beach or—unique to Mauritius—on stilts above the mangrove forest. The Spice Route inspires the decor, while the Constance Spa enhances the experience with an extensive menu of massages, facials, and wellness rituals. The service—discreet and attentive—is every bit as exceptional as the setting.
A honeymoon? Three restaurants vie for the favor of discerning gourmets, including the famous Barachois, Mauritius’s only floating restaurant, suspended on five pontoons in the heart of the mangrove forest. Enjoying a candlelit dinner there at dusk, while listening to nature come alive all around you, remains a moment of rare magic. A true treasure of the resort, the wine cellar houses more than 25,000 bottles, promising memorable tastings and exceptional wine discoveries. It’s easy to see why Constance Hotels & Resorts has built part of its reputation on the quality and expertise of its sommelier team. Golf enthusiasts will be delighted by the two 18-hole courses at Constance Belle Mare Plage, a neighboring property to the Prince Maurice. Others will find joy by the large pool or on the beautiful beach, sheltered from the prevailing winds. Everyone will leave with the feeling of having enjoyed a regal stay to celebrate their union.

The furnishings blend period pieces with custom-made creations by the castle’s owner, a count and architect. This hotel, perfect for a honeymoon in Italy, also features two restaurants and a wellness center.

Each features a black lava pool, either hidden among the vegetation or perched on stilts above the Indian Ocean, offering a immersion in chic tropical luxury tinged with elegance. Their thatched roofs evoke the inverted hull of a dhoni, the traditional Maldivian boat, while the island itself takes the shape of a manta ray—subtle nods to the archipelago’s symbols.
The honeymoon: the excellence of Constance Hotels & Resorts is evident at every moment—from the spa on stilts, offering high-end Sisley treatments, to the culinary experiences combining Western cuisine, Asian fusion, grilled seafood, and a Japanese counter. The chefs draw inspiration in part from the garden’s produce to create their dishes. The wine selection, a true hallmark of the resort, stands out for its wide range of wines, to be enjoyed in a cellar dedicated to tasting. Diving enthusiasts will be dazzled by the richness of the underwater wildlife, culminating in an encounter with majestic whale sharks. A hotel for an unforgettable honeymoon in the Maldives.
