Your honeymoon should feel like it was made for the two of you, because with Travelisto it is. A Travel Designer plans every part of your honeymoon package: flights from the UK, transfers, hotels chosen for couples and the room you really want, with any honeymoon extras the hotel offers. It is all in one ATOL-protected booking, with one person to talk to from the first idea to the flight home.
Most of the honeymoons we plan follow one of three styles. Beach and overwater honeymoons in the Maldives, French Polynesia or Mauritius are about privacy and doing very little. Twin-centre honeymoons add a city or a culture stop, such as Dubai or Sri Lanka, before the beach. Safari and beach honeymoons start with a lodge in Africa and end on the sand in Zanzibar or Mauritius.

Maldives honeymoons
The Maldives is the most popular honeymoon we plan. Every resort sits on its own island, many have overwater villas with steps straight into the lagoon, and the snorkelling starts from the beach. The big choices are which atoll, how you get there (seaplane, domestic flight or speedboat) and what board basis suits you.

Honeymoon FAQs
How far ahead should we book our honeymoon?
For peak dates such as Christmas, Easter and the summer holidays, and for resorts with only a few overwater villas, six to twelve months ahead is ideal. For other months, two to four months is often enough. If your wedding date is set, it is worth talking to a Travel Designer early.
Do hotels offer honeymoon perks?
Many do, especially in the Maldives, Mauritius, the Seychelles and the Caribbean. Perks vary by hotel and can include a bottle of sparkling wine, a romantic dinner, a spa treatment or a room upgrade when one is available. Hotels usually ask for your wedding date and some ask to see your marriage certificate, so tell us your date when you book.
Can we combine two destinations?
Yes, and it is one of the most popular ways to honeymoon. Dubai or Sri Lanka pair well with the Maldives, a Tanzania safari with Zanzibar, and Kruger with Mauritius. See our multi-centre holidays, or ask a Travel Designer to plan your own route.
Is the Maldives worth it for a honeymoon?
For many couples, yes: privacy, overwater villas, beautiful reefs and very little to organise once you arrive. It is mostly about relaxing, so if you also want sightseeing or culture, add a few days in Sri Lanka or Dubai.
When is the best time for a Maldives honeymoon?
December to April is the driest and sunniest time. From May to November there are more showers, but it stays warm, around 29°C, and the resorts are often quieter.
What is the best honeymoon destination in winter?
From December to March, the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Thailand, St Lucia and Costa Rica are all in their best season, and it is summer in Cape Town. Mauritius is warm then too, with some tropical rain.
