Honeymoon destinations for 2023!

U.S. Destinations

Rhode Island

In the summertime, Rhode Island is a veritable dream come true. Couples looking for a coastal New England honeymoon should consider this tiny state, which, despite its size, boasts some of the finest accommodations in the region, some of the freshest seafood, and pristine beaches ideal for romantic walks and days in the sun.

Stay at the Ocean House for a few nights, a New England icon on the shores of charming Watch Hill (fun fact: You can spot Taylor Swift’s house from the croquet lawn). Recently reconstructed to preserve its beauty, this five-star hotel’s sumptuous suites epitomize coast elegance.

Book several nights at the Weekapaug Inn, which sits on the shores of Quonochontaug Pond and the Atlantic Ocean. The Inn weds casual comforts with luxurious accommodations and feels like a home away from home, with everything you could possibly need or want at your fingertips.

Arizona

While it may not come to mind as a top honeymoon spot—for U.S. travelers, Arizona isn’t exactly far-flung or a beachy, tropical destination—this western state is actually the stuff of dreams for couples in search of an ideal wellness getaway. And the proximity to outdoor adventure is just as appealing.

Head to Sedona and book a suite for several days at Enchantment Resort, which is just as alluring as it sounds, nestled into the Red Rocks with epic views and even more epic wellness offerings at the on-site spa, Mii amo.

L’Auberge de Sedona should also be on the accommodations list; this luxury hotel boasts an array of accommodation styles, but we recommend booking a creekside cottage for ultimate privacy (there are spacious decks and woodburning fireplaces). In every direction you look, there is something exquisite to experience, whether it’s the babbling creek or the stunning red rocks—and it’s worth noting that the food is phenomenal.

Caribbean Destinations

Tulum

Want to enjoy the tropical forest, relaxing beaches, incredible food, and fun nightlife? Consider a trip to Mexico’s Eastern coast for a visit to Tulum. The travel hotspot is an easy trip from the states and provides so many opportunities for a breadth of fun and rejuvenating experiences.

For honeymooners wanting a quiet and relaxing stay (and the opportunity to enjoy the nightlife with a quick taxi ride), consider booking a room at the romantic Mi Amor Hotel & Spa. The boutique hotel is designed for couples with beautifully bohemian rooms complete with ocean views, plunge pools, and private balconies. From couples’ spa experiences to private cabanas along the water exclusive to hotel guests, the destination is perfectly curated for newlyweds to get some TLC after wedding planning. The hotel also recently welcomed Chef José Luis Hinostroza, co-owner of the award-winning Tulum restaurant Arca, as their executive chef to curate a delicious menu that combines Mexican classics with a contemporary twist.

Adventurous honeymooners should definitely make a trip to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum and take a guided adventure into the calm pools of the Cenote Caves. Other fun activities around the area include trying out the cuisine at the town’s incredible restaurants like Hartwood, taking a salsa-making class at La Zebra Hotel, and enjoying the party at beach clubs like Gitano and Papaya Playa Project.

Turks and Caicos

With picture-perfect white sand beaches, bright blue waters, and that reliably beautiful Caribbean weather, Turks and Caicos is a timeless honeymoon destination that has something for every kind of honeymoon couple.

This year, though, we’re particularly excited about the wellness offerings at Amanyara, a luxury all-inclusive resort perched on the edge of the island nation’s largest island, Providenciales. While the central part of the island will be busy with tourists and locals, Amanyara sits on an 18,000-acre nature reserve right on the edge of the sea, which means that it’s the ultimate intimate getaway. And while the property boasts an array of incredible experiences and amenities, its wellness offerings are what really set it apart. An on-site team of wellness specialists will help curate the perfect wellness journey for guests, essentially creating bespoke itineraries (think the usual offerings, like massage, pilates, and yoga, but also extensive and individualized treatments surrounding mindfulness and meditation, nutrition, and fitness)
