Looking for romantic spa getaways that are utterly unforgettable for your honeymoon? These are six of our all-time favourite honeymoon destinations with incredible spas.
Including unique spa experiences you can’t find anywhere else and signature treatments conducted side-by-side in glamorous locations such as the Maldives and Thailand, these luxury spa breaks for couples are our top destinations for honeymooners.
Underwater Spa, Huvafen Fushi Maldives
The Maldives is already a dream honeymoon destination for many couples and Huvafen Fushi will make your once-in-a-lifetime experience even more memorable, not least because of its famous underwater spa – the first of its kind in the world. Offering an unforgettable wellness experience beneath the crystal blue waters, just imagine getting a couples’ massage together while watching the colourful fish swim around you through glass walls – it’s all a dreamy possibility here. A highlight of the spa experience is the signature Underwater Dream treatment – a 90-minute ritual incorporating reflexology, pressure points, Shiatsu, and ancient breathing techniques to induce deep relaxation. Renowned massage therapist Beata Aleksandrowicz is also currently in residence, bringing her expertise in holistic wellness to the island’s exclusive spa offerings. Beyond the spa, honeymooners can enjoy private yacht excursions, sunset dolphin cruises, yoga on the floating deck, and dining under the stars on a secluded sandbank. Or, if you don’t want to leave your room at all, nest away in your ultra-private sunset-facing overwater villa, each with a private pool and personalised butler service.
Borgo Santo Pietro, Tuscany
For honeymooners dreaming of a fairytale-like escape, Borgo Santo Pietro is a must-book destination. The five-star boutique estate in the Tuscan hills was once a healing stopover for medieval pilgrims, and now offers an intimate retreat where spa treatments, farm-to-table dining, and breathtaking landscapes create an unforgettable experience. At the Borgo Santo Pietro Spa, which blends organic skincare with ancient healing traditions, couples can indulge in signature massages using herbs from the estate’s gardens, vinotherapy facials infused with local grapes, and hydrotherapy in the serene spa garden. Private sound healing sessions and yoga classes in the Tuscan countryside are also available, as are memorable experiences like truffle hunting, wine tasting, hot air balloon rides, and romantic candlelit dinners at the Michelin-starred restaurant, Saporium. Resting your head in one of the villas, adorned with hand-painted frescoes, only adds to the fairytale ambiance.
Anantara Mai Khao, Thailand
As the much-talked-about setting for White Lotus season three, Thailand is set to be one of the trendiest places to travel to this year – and it’s perfect for honeymooners. One of our top picks: Anantara Mai Khao in Phuket. While it may have been the location for a particularly dramatic moment in the HBO series (no spoilers), the resort itself is the very picture of uber-luxurious zen. Set among tranquil lagoons and lush gardens, the floating spa is a quiet, sanctuary of relaxation with couple treatment rooms (complete with al fresco bathing experiences), where honeymooners can enjoy signature couples’ massages, Thai herbal compress treatments, and holistic therapies designed to rejuvenate your bodies and minds. There’s the chance to enjoy private yoga, meditation and sound healing classes too, helping you connect with each other as well as your individual selves, and other romantic highlights include sunset beachfront dining and rooftop cocktails, private yacht excursions and snorkelling trips. As for your villa, it will be as stunning as you’d expect (and suitably private), with an indulgently large lounger-surrounded pool and sink-worthy super king bed.
Como Shambhala Estate, Bali
Want to start your married life off on an even more positive (and pampered) foot? COMO Shambhala Estate is an award-winning wellness retreat and the perfect sanctuary for newlyweds to unwind and relax together. Set in the lush green jungle near Ubud, the retreat is renowned for its healing therapies, with a packed spa menu regardless of whether you embark on a full Wellness Path programme or come and go as you please. Memorable experiences include side-by-side COMO Shambhala Massages in an open-air pavilion overlooking the Ayung River, and body wraps infused with natural Balinese ingredients to really pamper your bodies. Still feeling lingering wedding stress? Then, it’s time to organise a purifying dip in the Estate’s sacred spring pools, which are believed to have healing properties. Plus, the fleet of resident naturopaths, nutritionists and yoga instructors are on hand to get to the root cause of any niggling aches and pains. Beyond the spa, honeymooners can also enjoy guided jungle treks and gourmet healthy cuisine, plus their own private infinity pools back at their suite for an indulgent dip.
Shangri-La Le Touessrok, Mauritius
With its world-class spa, stunning beachfront location, and personalised honeymoon experiences, Shangri-La Le Touessrok in Mauritius is the perfect destination for couples seeking unforgettable romance. Set on a pristine white-sand beach that you can step straight onto from your villa (and with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean to boot), the five-star resort is home to the CHI Spa, where couples can indulge in unique Mauritian therapies inspired by ancient Asian healing traditions. A couples’ massage using warm coconut oil and local spices, is a must for newlyweds, while a detoxifying body wrap and any of the Ayurvedic therapies help melt away any remaining wedding stress. For deeper relaxation, private overwater treatment pavilions offer particularly breathtaking views, while the outdoor vitality pool and yoga sessions prolong your inner calm. And if one (or both) of you loves golf, the resort grants exclusive access to the Ile aux Cerfs Golf Club, a world-class course set on a private island.
Amanruya, Turkey
Surrounded by pine forests and overlooking the Aegean Sea, Amanruya is a serene retreat for honeymooners to curl up in. In fact, with its spacious stone cottages, private pools, and peaceful setting, Amanruya is our top-pick for couples who want a romantic escape away from crowds. The Amanruya Spa offers bespoke treatments inspired by Ancient Anatolian healing techniques, including signature experiences such as aromatic oil massages, detoxifying clay body wraps, and revitalising facials using local herbs. Honeymooners can also indulge in traditional Turkish hammam rituals, and, for the ultimate romantic spa experience, private open-air treatment pavilions offer breathtaking sea views. Ultimately though, whether you are on the treatment bed or exploring the ancient ruins of Ephesus, swimming in hidden coves and having intimate sunset cruises, honeymooners will find romance, wellness, and unparalleled luxury here.
