The World’s Most Romantic Honeymoons - with Turquoise Holidays
The Turquoise Holidays team have scoured the globe (an alright job for some!) to come up with the World's most romantic honeymoons in the world! Turquoise love discussing inspirational ideas and itineraries, but the most important thing is you. They listen to what you want and give you the advice you need to create the perfect holiday or honeymoon. Here are their top 5 most romantic honeymoon ideas to whet your appetite:
1. Water Villa Heaven - The Maldives, Baros
With only 75 individual thatched-roof villas, and no children under the age of eight allowed, Baros Maldives is a haven for romantic honeymoon couples. The ambiance is refined and the service attentive yet friendly and informal; it is not surprising guests want to go back time and time again.
You’ll enjoy panoramic ocean views, dedicated sun loungers under a thatched parasol on the beach and blissful choice of not one, but two pools on your private wooden deck. The Water Villas are, of course equally beautiful, dressed in silk and cotton and featuring sumptuous bathrooms. We suggest you request a room on the top of the jetty, (Penelope Cruz has stayed in one of these water villas!) looking out towards the west, and enjoy the most magnificent sunset with a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc in your hand. Baros Maldives’ delicious diving options are endless. Whether you fancy a barbecue for two on the perfect beach, a Thai feast on the boardwalk, a picnic on a secluded sandbank or an intimate candleit dinner in a private palm grove, the dedicated staff will happily make it a honeymoon to remember.
2. Safari Honeymoon in Style - South Africa, Sanctuary Makanyane
Makanyane’s wonderful mix of privacy, space, romance and tranquility make it an idea choice for your honeymoon! The secluded suites (just 8 of them, so a maximum of 16 guests) have floor to ceiling glass windows – perfect for watching passing elephants! At breakfast, discuss the exciting day ahead with your guide whilst at night, relax and reflect on your safari adventure over a private romantic dinner. After a memorable day of wildlife spotting, you will return to your suite to find a cosy fire lit and sumptuous fine linens on your bed just waiting to be snuggled into! A ‘must do’ at Makanyane is the sleep-out under the stars! The two-storey sleep-out will be lit with lanterns and your favourite drinks will be waiting 0 yu will sleep under a mosquito net and drift off to the sounds of the animal noises, whilst gazing in awe at the vastness of the skies above you. Waking up, just the two of you, to watch the sunrise in the middle of the African bush, is utterly romantic! Makanyane’s sleep-out brings a truly magical and romantic “Out of Africa” moment to your honeymoon.
3. Blissful Island Hopping - The Seychelles, Denis Private Island
The Seychelles is the perfect destination for ultimate honeymooners; gorgeous white sand, endless blue skies and beautiful weather all year round. However what attracts most people to the Seychelles is its ease for island hopping.

A must stay on your island hopping honeymoon is the self-sustainable hideaway – Denis Private Island. It is accessible only by light aircraft from the main island of Mahe. The organic farm on the island provides interesting insights behind the scenes of island life and you will be sure to meet some of the resident giant tortoises.
