Some destinations transcend trends. They have been drawing honeymooners for generations by creating unforgettable experiences for all who visit.

A remarkable setting, an extraordinary hotel, and an experience that marks the beginning of something new. These six destinations offer all three.

1. The Maldives

There is a reason the Maldives remains the world's most requested honeymoon destination. Overwater villas suspended over blue coastal lagoons, complete privacy, and one-of-a-kind natural beauty create an environment designed for two. 

The Soneva Fushi resort delivers some of Asia's most exclusive private villa experiences with personal butlers and observatory decks for stargazing into the night sky. For couples who want the world to completely disappear, the Maldives is a great destination. 

Highlights include: A private villa experience at the award-winning Soneva Fushi. A private sandbank dinner under the stars.

2. Sicily, Italy

Sicily is one of the Mediterranean's most romantic islands. Ancient greek temples rise above wildflower meadows, volcanic landscapes frame jagged coastlines, and a food rooted in centuries of tradition bring unforgettable flavor to every bite. Long walks along the streets encourage slow evenings with stunning views as the light turns the landscape gold. 

The San Domenico Palace, A Four Season Hotel, occupies a restored 15th-century Dominican monastery above the Ionian Sea. It frames the famed views of Mount Etna and the Sicilian coastline that have inspired artists for centuries. 

Highlights include: A stay at the San Domenico Palace. A private Mount Etna sunrise excursion followed by a private gourmet breakfast by a local culinary guide on the volcano slopes

3. Santorini, Greece

Santorini is a destination that lives up to its reputation for unmatched beauty. The whitewashed villages of Oia and Imerovigli sit on top of the rim of an ancient volcanic crater and overlook the blue Aegean sea.

Sunsets here have stopped conversations for centuries, and they continue to do so. Canaves Oia Epitome delivers an intimate collection of cave suites and infinity pools carved into the cliffside, it's widely regarded as one of the most romantic experiences in Europe.

Explore on a private catamaran cruise followed by a cliffside wine tasting of indigenous Assyrtiko (a Greek wine grape) for an evening that lingers long after the last glass.

Highlights include: Private suites at Canaves Oia Epitome and a private catamaran sunset cruise.

4. St. Moritz, Switzerland

Winter brings glacier skiing, horse racing on a frozen lake, and candlelight dinners in elegant mountain escapes. Summer reveals hiking trails, sailing on Lake St. Moritz, and long alpine evenings where the sun doesn't set until past ten. 

Badrutt's Palace has been welcoming guests since 1896, and the hotel's combination of alpine grandeur, impeccable service and award-winning in-house restaurant makes it one of the great honeymoon destinations on earth.

St. Moritz is for the couple who want genuine luxury set against an unforgettable alpine landscape.

6. Tahiti, French Polynesia

Tahiti and its islands close this list on the most spectacular note possible. Bora Bora's lagoon, ringed by a large colorful coral reef, is one of the most photographed natural settings on earth and one of the most beautiful places to begin a marriage. 

For couples seeking something more intimate, Le Taha'a Island Resort and Spa sits on its own private island on the quieter island of Tahaa. The resort is surrounded by vanilla fields and its own coral reef. Luxury overwater suites, the unhurried pace of life, and the raw natural landscapes that French Polynesia offer create an unforgettable honeymoon experience.
