What To Look for in a Honeymoon Hotel
“When selecting a honeymoon hotel, you want it to feel extra special,” says Hotels Above Par editor-in-chief Brandon Berkson. “First, look for a room with a view,” he advises, noting there’s nothing like waking up to the ocean or a beautiful city skyline together. Next, check out the amenities. “A private pool or a luxe spa, for those moments you just want to unwind. Finally, ensure the dining options are top-notch, as romantic dinners are a must.” Berkson also suggests checking to see if the hotel offers special honeymoon packages with thoughtful extras like rose petals on the bed or couples’ massages.Related: How to Vacation on Harbour Island Like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Popular Honeymoon Destinations for Celebrities
The globe’s most illustrious public figures are hooked on Italy’s picturesque Amalfi Coast as it delivers the perfect blend of breathtaking backdrops and high-echelon establishments they crave, shares Berkson. “With its jaw-dropping views—think dramatic cliffs, provincial hamlets and piercingly blue seawater—it offers a backdrop that’s as serene as it is glamorous,” he explains.Melissa Biggs Bradley, founder of Indagare Travel, agrees. “For celebrities, honeymoons are all about privacy and pampering, so classically romantic locations with legendary resort properties like Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como and the South of France have been popular for decades,” she says. “Hotels such as Splendido and Cipriani in Italy and the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc in France (where Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge exchanged vows) have perfected romance and discretion, but in recent years, remote and rarefied resort destinations like French Polynesia, the Maldives and the Seychelles have also become popular.”??

14 Romantic Hotels Where Celebrities Honeymoon, According to Travel Experts
Refer to this list when you’re on the hunt for star-studded stays in awe-inspiring locations.
1. The Dorchester (London, England)
The Dorchester
Some hotels ease into honeymoon-level covetability over the years, while others create the blueprint for the rest to follow. The Dorchester, London’s crown jewel and the first hotel to open in the Dorchester Collection, falls firmly in the latter camp.
Take Elizabeth Taylor and her enduring love affair with the Mayfair landmark, for example. After falling for the Grand Dame during a visit with her parents at age 17, she returned again and again for lavish birthday parties, decadent self-care sessions in her custom-requested pink marble bathroom (now part of the Elizabeth Taylor Harlequin Suite) and, eventually, a romantic honeymoon with Richard Burton in 1964.
Legend has it that while soaking in that very tub in 1959, she received the phone call offering her a record-breaking deal to star in the Hollywood epic Cleopatra.
As for the couple’s post-nuptial love nest? That would be the hotel’s Oliver Messel Suite (recently refurbished and pictured above), complete with a spacious private terrace overlooking the London skyline, sumptuous sitting rooms and gold-leaf toilets, naturally.
2. Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club (Surfside, Florida)
Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
With so many far-flung, fantasy-inducing destinations on this list, Miami Beach may not immediately present itself as a honeymoon idyll. And yet, one storied address effortlessly reframes the conversation.
The Surf Club first opened its doors on New Year’s Eve in 1930, quickly establishing itself as a glamorous enclave for society’s most celebrated figures—among them Elizabeth Taylor and Winston Churchill, who famously took to painting in the property’s picturesque poolside cabanas. In the decades that followed, it continued to attract a discerning clientele; even Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner were so smitten with its discreet oceanfront elegance that they selected it as their honeymoon retreat.
Today, reimagined under the stewardship of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, the property retains its captivating allure while offering a posh—and deeply romantic—playground for newlywed pursuits. With two Michelin Keys, 77 impeccably designed guest rooms and a Thomas Keller-helmed restaurant housed within the original historic structure—tailor-made for late-night indulgence and quiet tête-à-têtes—it remains one of Florida’s most enchanting settings in which to begin married life.
3. Grand Hotel Tremezzo (Lake Como, Italy)

“Grand Hotel Tremezzo is a dream and a half,” raves Berkson, who notes Emily Blunt and John Krasinski honeymooned here, alongside Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. As the first hotel to open its doors on Lake Como over 100 years ago, he says celebs favor this storybook setting for its “timeless elegance and mountain-fringed shoreline.” It also helps that there are three lovely pools to choose from, acres of private grounds to roam in matrimonial bliss and tucked-away candlelit tables set for two.
4. Zemi Beach House (Anguilla)

Fronted by one of Anguilla’s most pristine stretches of shore, Zemi Beach House is the kind of under-the-radar Caribbean escape that insiders quietly rave about—and for good reason. Luxury travel experts consistently single it out for its one-of-a-kind spa experience: a 309-year-old Thai rice barn that was painstakingly transported from Thailand and reconstructed on-site, now serving as the resort’s placid wellness sanctuary.
The vibe here is toes-in-the-sand bliss at its finest—think oceanfront suites with breezy terraces, hushed mornings on sugar-white powder and golden cocktail hours by the sea. But what really sets Zemi apart is a sense of seclusion and calm, making it especially appealing for honeymooners who want to unplug and disappear into their own little world.
Even Paris Hilton famously reserved an entire building during her two-month world-spanning honeymoon, choosing Zemi—and its sprawling penthouse accommodations—as the place to soak up this perfect slice of Anguilla.
5. Kamalame Cay (Andros, Bahamas)

Reachable by boat or seaplane off the coast of Andros Island, Kamalame Cay was designed with discreet romance in mindSerena Williams and Alexis Ohanian chose the private property for their honeymoon, opting to book one of their palatial four-bedroom villas shrouded by lush foliage for extra intimacy, but if you can’t swing $35,000 per week, fear not. Smaller beach bungalows nestled on the same stretch of paradise start at $500 a night. They also pride themselves on having the only overwater spa in the Bahamas, ideal for side-by-side massages while watching schools of fish swim by.
6. Jamaica Inn (Ocho Rios, Jamaica)

One can’t help but feel a serene sense of place at the 65-year-old Ocho Rios resort, Jamaica Inn. The laid-back luxe, family-run property was a favorite of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, who famously frequented their bar, as did 007 himself, Sean Connery. Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller honeymooned in the property’s sought-after Suite 21 and Meghan Markle celebrated her (first) wedding at this storied retreat. Spread across eight acres framed by one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, the historic hotel is a worthy choice for couples who have just tied the knot. Play a round of croquet on the lawn or enter one of their cutthroat backgammon competitions. Afterward, retire to your oversized cottage to sip rum punch and dip in the cool blue sea.
7. COMO Parrot Cay (Turks & Caicos)

The Turks & Caicos Islands have been luring lovebirds to their sandy white beaches and azure waters for ages, so it’s no wonder this tropical archipelago is a popular refuge for famous faces. Keith Richards, Donna Karan and Bruce Willis all own homes in Parrot Cay, between Providenciales and North Caicos, while Jerry Seinfeld, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and Sofia Vergara chose the sparkling isle as their honeymoon destination. As for the premier hotel in this neck of the Caribbean, that would be COMO Parrot Cay. “Think beautiful beaches, unmatched spa treatments and an overall exclusive feeling fueled by inherent privacy,” says Berkson.
8. Le Sirenuse (Positano, Italy)

Le Sirenuse, an 18th-century palazzo on the dreamy Amalfi Coast, is another one of Berkson’s preferred honeymoon hotels for its sensational views of the sea. “Its red exterior is iconic,” he says, adding that Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth went here for their honeymoon, as did Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed. The 58-key stunner is a hospitality legend, thanks to its work-of-art terrace pool that’s always showing off and light-drenched suites that make you want to linger longer. Take a spin around Positano on their vintage Riva Aquarama speedboat before lunching leisurely in a quaint waterfront village.
9. Sanctuary Camelback Mountain (Scottsdale, Arizona)

Arizona might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, but don’t discount Sanctuary Camelback Mountain, A Gurney’s Resort & Spa. Jay-Z and Beyoncé chose the mountainside property for their honeymoon and woke up to views like this every morning. Surrounded by 53 acres of teeming desert topography, the Scottsdale-adjacent hotel features manicured grounds, well-appointed casitas and a 12,000-square-foot spa. They even have a brand-new pickleball court for budding enthusiasts to take advantage of, with sweeping vistas of the craggy cliffs and exotic blooming cacti.
10. North Island (Seychelles)

“As the post-wedding destination for both British royalty (Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011) and Hollywood royalty (George and Amal Clooney in 2014), Seychelles ranks high on the list of glamorous private getaways,” explains Bradley. Boasting only 11 villas, North Island is an Indian Ocean hideaway and one of the world’s most exclusive honeymoon resorts, with an aptly named Honeymoon Beach on the Southwest side. “Guests can settle into their private corner of this unspoiled landscape—white-sand beaches against a tropical jungle backdrop—and embrace the ethos of barefoot luxury,” she adds.
11. Singita Faru Faru Lodge (Serengeti National Park, Tanzania)

African adventures in places like Botswana, Namibia and Tanzania also top Bradley’s celebrity honeymoon hot list, partly because of the luxury lodges available. “All offer unique immersions in natural landscapes and experiences that can’t be found anywhere else, from the peaked, tangerine-colored dunes in Namibia to the migration routes of elephants, buffalo and zebras in Botswana and Tanzania that remain uninterrupted,” she shares. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel opted for Singita Faru Faru Lodge in Serengeti National Park for their moon. A 350,000-acre private reserve in northern Tanzania with breathtaking bush appeal, airy suites and watering holes where the local animals are known to greet guests partaking in a midday swim.
12. The Beverly Hills Hotel (Beverly Hills, California)

Elizabeth Taylor may have been married eight times to seven men (she wed Richard Burton twice, once in 1964 and again in 1975), but she spent several of her honeymoons in Bungalow 5 at The Beverly Hills Hotel. With four bedrooms and a private pool, this particular abode is the largest at the iconic hotel and happens to be her favorite, so much so that her family used Number 5 for the private memorial service when she passed away in 2011. A celeb magnet for Hollywood’s elite for over a century, “The Pink Palace” has played host to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon and countless other luminaries.
13. The Brando (Tahiti, French Polynesia)

“The Brando in French Polynesia is one of Indagare’s all-time favorite properties,” shares Bradley, calling it the perfect honeymoon hotel. At the ultra-indulgent, eco-luxury resort, guests stay in beachfront villas with massive rooms, plunge pools and gardens—and are flown in and out by private plane, which is likely why Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder and former CEO of Bumble (the dating app used by 23 million people), and her husband, Texas oil heir Michael Herd, chose it for their honeymoon and where Princess Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, jetted off to after her wedding to James Matthews in 2017. Everything about The Brando is incredible, she says, adding that she loves to spend days swimming, hiking, snorkeling and stargazing when she visits: “It’s very secluded and private and the service is incredible.”
14. NIHI Sumba (Sumba Island, Indonesia)

While Bali is always a good idea for a sexy sojourn, honeymooners searching for an atmospheric castaway experience will love NIHI Sumba Island even more, according to Bradley. She loves the far-off resort where Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence and her husband Cooke Maroney stayed for its impeccable creativity and soul, plus its collection of 27 thatched-roof villas that are equipped with individual pools and stylish interiors. “They offer plenty of seclusion but venture out to Ombak restaurant or Nio Beach Club and you’ll find a house-party-on-the-beach scene,” she says. “Meeting the people of Sumba, however, is the highlight of a trip to the island, and guests are encouraged to spend time with locals, whether during a surf lesson or a visit to the Sumba Foundation, which endeavors to protect and support the island’s population.”
