The Honeymoon Hotlist
Trending Destinations UK Brides Are Loving Right Now
Planning the honeymoon is one of the most exciting parts of wedding prep – and in 2026, UK brides are choosing destinations that combine luxury, unforgettable experiences and serious aesthetic appeal. From tropical escapes to stylish European getaways, these are the honeymoon hotspots couples are booking right now.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali remains one of the biggest honeymoon trends thanks to its mix of luxury, wellness and adventure. Our clients are splitting their time between jungle retreats in Ubud and beachside villas in Seminyak or Uluwatu, enjoying spa treatments, waterfall trips and stunning private pool stays.
Why couples love it:
Luxury for less
Beautiful wellness resorts
Perfect mix of relaxation and adventure
Thailand
Thailand continues to be a favourite for our UK newlyweds wanting affordable luxury. Many combine city breaks in Bangkok with beach escapes in Phuket or Koh Samui for a honeymoon that feels exciting and varied.
Popular experiences include:
Island hopping
Luxury spa days
Romantic beachfront dining
All of which can be arranged through our concierge services.
The Maldives
The Maldives is still the ultimate honeymoon classic. Overwater villas, crystal-clear water and total privacy make it perfect for couples wanting pure relaxation after the wedding.
If too much beach has you needing an adrenaline fix, newlyweds are now pairing the Maldives with another destination like Dubai or Thailand for a more experience-led trip.
Japan
Japan has quickly become one of the most stylish honeymoon choices for couples wanting culture alongside luxury. From Kyoto’s temples to Tokyo’s incredible food scene, it offers a honeymoon that feels unique and unforgettable.
Luxury ryokans, hot springs and cherry blossom season are especially popular with newlyweds.
Amalfi Coast, Italy
For couples wanting European glamour without travelling too far, the Amalfi Coast remains a dream honeymoon destination. Positano, Capri and Ravello are loved for their romantic hotels, incredible food and stunning coastal views.
It’s ideal for fashion-forward couples who love good food, wine and laid-back luxury.
Scotland
One of the biggest trends for 2026 is the “slow honeymoon” – and Scotland is becoming a top choice for couples wanting cosy luxury closer to home. Think castle stays, countryside lodges and road trips through the Highlands.
Perfect for autumn or winter weddings, Scotland offers romance, privacy and incredible scenery without the long-haul flight.
