Searching For The Perfect Honeymoon Resort? 10 Must-Haves to Look For!

When getting married, few moments are as cherished as the honeymoon – a time for couples to escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. It is a time to unplug, re-connect, and focus on each other in luxury & romance. But to truly obtain honeymoon bliss, you’ll have to know how to select the perfect resort to set the stage. Here are 10 must-haves to look for when choosing the best resort for your honeymoon. ​

NOT ALL RESORTS ARE CREATED EQUAL:
Not all resorts are created equal when crafting the ideal honeymoon experience, and this is where our expertise as honeymoon travel specialists comes into play. Here's a glimpse into what I believe makes a resort worthy of being called a honeymoon haven:

1. Serene Seclusion: When choosing a honeymoon resort, you want to look for adult-only areas or those offer a more private feel. Look for cozy nooks, private villas, and “VIP” or “Club” access allowing you and your new spouse to have a more secluded experience. As a honeymoon travel agent, I recommend you book your honeymoon at an adult-only resort where you have more of these types of options.

2. White Glove Service: Romance flourishes in intimate, relaxed settings where your chosen resort makes everything feel tailor-made for two with personalized service to create an atmosphere encouraging relaxation and pampering. Remember, this isn’t any old vacation; this is your honeymoon! Make sure the resort you choose has higher levels of service available, like 24-hour room service, concierge, butler, or even an app you can download to communicate with staff when you need them.

3. Breathtaking Views: Every love story deserves a backdrop of breathtaking beauty. Whether it's a pristine beach, a majestic emerald mountain range, or a dazzling oceanscape, the view from the resort should take your breath away.

4. Luxury in Every Detail: Now is the perfect time to splurge on resorts redefining luxury at every turn. From lavish linens to exquisite dining experiences, every detail should be designed to pamper and delight. Depending on your budget, some 4-star resorts will have a decent amount of luxury touches, but I recommend you book a 5-star resort to guarantee it. Again, this is your honeymoon, not just a weekend in the city. ​

5. Amazing Suites: Unlike other vacations, where you may not be in your room much, this is your honeymoon… need I say more? Look for honeymoon resorts with private pools in some suites and romantic touches like jacuzzi tubs, canopy beds, a secret box, a private shower with no roof to view the sky, and breathtaking views.

6. Culinary Delights: If you’re a foodie, you’ll want to choose a resort offering a good variety of ala carte dining options. Don’t get me wrong, buffets have their place, especially breakfast buffets, but the rest of the time, you’ll want to treat yourself to different culinary experiences. Except when you’re getting room service, of course!  😉

7. Spa Retreats: After the whirlwind of wedding preparations, couples crave relaxation and rejuvenation. Choose resorts with world-class spas offering indulgent treatments to soothe the soul, nourish the spirit, and relax your muscles. Many resorts have excellent spas. The luxury resorts will give you the best spa experience.

8. Fun & Romantic Activities: Deepen your bond and create new memories by doing fun and romantic activities together during your honeymoon. Choose a resort with enchanting activities such as snorkeling, horseback riding, sunset cruises, paddle boarding, and even visiting secluded beaches. Most resorts will have some of these activities on-site, but should also give you the ability to book an off-site excursion. ​

9. Honeymoon Packages: You deserve to feel like royalty with specialized honeymoon resort packages adding an extra layer of romance and richness to your stay. From room decorations to complimentary experiences such as a candlelight dinner or breakfast in bed, these thoughtful touches will make your honeymoon unforgettable.

10. Reputation and Reviews: Last but not least, trust in the wisdom of fellow honeymooners. Seek out resorts with glowing reviews and testimonials from couples who have experienced the magic firsthand. With this advice in mind, look for consistency in the reviews. If you are seeing bad reviews about food or the restaurants consistently, you know there may be a real issue with the food or the service. Still, if you only see one or two complaints with a majority of compliments, it’s probably not a big deal.

Your honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create memories lasting a lifetime. Booking the best honeymoon resort for you and your spouse will make all the difference. The possibilities for crafting the perfect romantic getaway are endless, from secluded beachfront retreats to luxurious jungle hideaways. 🌴💕
