The Top Honeymoon Destinations of 2026: Real Stories, Real Inspiration

Your honeymoon isn’t just a holiday—it’s the beginning of your next chapter. My greatest joy as a Travel Counsellor is helping couples turn their unique dreams into seamless, unforgettable escapes. Here are some of my favourite honeymoon destinations for 2026, paired with stories and feedback from couples I've recently had the privilege to help.

New Zealand: Epic Adventure Meets Romance Catherine and Jack’s dream was an adventure they’d never forget, and New Zealand—one of my personal favourites—delivered in every sense. Their journey combined the open road, breathtaking winelands, and the joy of slow travel across both the North and South Islands.

“We can’t recommend Heather enough. Our New Zealand honeymoon wouldn’t have been the same without Heather’s help...While we were away, we both felt utterly relaxed knowing we were in safe hands with Heather.”

Mauritius: Laid-Back Luxury in Paradise Kate and her husband sought a tranquil, beautiful escape—and together we settled on Heritage Awali, where gentle luxury met Mauritian charm.

“Heather was amazing and really understood our requirements. I was lost in a world of choice but her knowledge, personal experience and friendly nature really helped us settle on the honeymoon of our dreams.”

Safari & Mauritius: From the Wild to Turquoise Shores Phil and Emily longed for an unforgettable adventure. Their bespoke honeymoon blended the thrill of a Masai Mara safari—staying at handpicked camps—with blissful days on Mauritius’ beaches, immersing in nature and romance.

“Aside from that, the safari was incredible! We had the best week of our lives and it was so special. Definitely the right choice to go with those camps and areas.”

Thailand & Singapore: Culture, City Lights, & Island Bliss Emma Bailey’s honeymoon was all about contrast—buzzing cities, jungle serenity, exquisite resorts, and meaningful experiences. From the cultural tapestry of Singapore and Bangkok to pure relaxation at Layana Resort & Spa and The Slate, everything was tailored to her perfect tempo.

“Thanks for organising our honeymoon, it was amazing—especially loved the elephant sanctuary, and the hotels were great!”

And More Dream Destinations Of course, I also love creating honeymoons in classic romantic hotspots like the Maldives’ overwater villas, Santorini’s sunset terraces, Bali’s tranquil jungles, and South Africa’s wild winelands. Every escape is different—thoughtfully designed just for you.
