Romance ready: 10 superyacht destinations perfect for newlyweds

Home to the Faraglioni di Mezzo, Capri’s legendary ‘tunnel of love,’ where a kiss is said to guarantee eternal romance, this Italian island is the ultimate superyacht honeymoon hotspot. Dramatic scenery and chic glamour ashore set the stage for the most romantic memories. Only accessible by tender are the famous spots like the Blue Grotto, while quieter anchorages and hidden bays offer a more intimate couples' escape.

Stroll through the charming town of Capri or spend afternoons at famous beach clubs. Come evening, enjoy sundowners on deck and candlelit dinners at celebrated Michelin-starred restaurants under the canopies of endless citrus groves, with views across the Bay of Naples. On a wider Amalfi Coast itinerary, pair Capri with locations like Positano, Amalfi, and Sorrento to extend the celebrations and get a true taste of that Italian 'Dolce Vita'.

Full of Caribbean charm, St Vincent and the Grenadines is a romantic superyacht playground, with over 32 islands and cays offering countless anchorages and intimate bays accessible only by boat. Pristine white-sand beaches like Petit St Vincent or Salt Whistle Bay are ideal for romantic strolls and sunbathing, bordered by gin-clear waters that are asking to be explored. Snorkel and dive with your newlywed alongside resident turtles in the Tobago Cays Marine Park. Adventure-driven couples can also get ashore to explore volcanic trails on St Vincent or to hike the hilltops on Bequia.

Despite the island's laid-back atmosphere, Mustique is still one of the most exclusive, home to numerous villas owned by high-profile icons. For a fine dining meal for two here, book a table at The Cotton House. Across the islands, evenings can be spent anchored in an idyllic spot under the stars and enjoying private beach setups with fresh local seafood barbecues. A compact island chain, there are multiple itineraries to be had, making it easy to plan an entirely personalised honeymoon that combines natural beauty, relaxation, and adventure.

Honeymoons can be as much about adventuring as they can be about romance. An increasingly popular yachting destination, and for good reason, Indonesia and its 17,000 islands are one to consider for a superyacht honeymoon. One of the most diverse cruising grounds with unmatched biodiversity, the islands remain largely inaccessible except by yacht. Adding to the romantic allure of this untouched wilderness is the opportunity to charter a traditional Phinisi sailing yacht.

Enjoy world-class snorkelling and scuba diving, spotting pygmy seahorses, manta rays, sharks, and endless unique species with your loved one throughout Raja Ampat. Head in search of the legendary Komodo dragon, trek the jungles, and kayak secluded lagoons in the UNESCO-protected Komodo Islands. Break up the adventures with downtime and enjoy the archipelago’s best beaches within the Lesser Sunda islands and Bali - keeping an eye out for the new, and first of its kind, superyacht marina nearing completion in 2026.

With over 2000 islands, Greece has endless yachting possibilities, but the Cyclades are a particular standout chain when it comes to romantic escapes in the Aegean. Perfect moments for honeymooners can be had in Santorini’s iconic whitewashed towns and enjoying caldera sunset views, while for those couples wanting vibrant nightlife, Mykonos delivers with fine dining and bars ashore.

An itinerary can also include lesser-known islands for anchoring in hidden bays, such as Naxos, with idyllic beaches and scenic hiking trails. Or, experience the traditional charm, colourful fishing villages, and volcanic beaches of Milos. For foodies, Sifnos has an emerging culinary scene perfect for those romantic meals, sampling the best authentic Greek cuisine.

A destination in French Polynesia with a heart-shaped atoll makes for an unmistakably romantic yacht getaway. The famous Tupai, affectionately known as the “island of lovers,” offers the perfect excursion and aerial photo opportunity, via helicopter or seaplane from Bora Bora.

Cruising the islands’ shallow, calm lagoons invites relaxing exploration by swimming, snorkelling, or paddleboarding together. And the powdery white sands and swaying palms ashore provide the ultimate backdrop for picnics, sunbathing, or even a trip ashore for the night to stay in an iconic overwater bungalow. A Bora Bora yacht itinerary can also incorporate signature spa treatments and fine dining experiences, thanks to the many luxury five-star resorts ashore. Part of the Society Islands, Bora Bora can be explored as part of a French Polynesia honeymoon itinerary that incorporates other islands in the chain, beginning in Tahiti, offering tropical beauty and plenty of spots for intimate moments. 

The northerly latitudes of Norway have grown in popularity over the years, and for couples seeking a nature-focused romance, this destination hits the mark. Its fjord-carved coastline offers dramatic, breathtaking honeymoon scenery. From towering peaks to mirror-still waterways and anchorages offering solitude, it’s an ideal spot to enjoy each other's company.

Many yacht itineraries begin in Bergen before winding north through UNESCO-listed fjords such as Geirangerfjord. Further north still, the postcard-perfect fishing villages of the Lofoten Islands and beyond, up to the Arctic Circle, offer more rugged, wild natural settings. Experiences can include visiting fairy-tale villages ashore, kayaking beneath cliffs, hiking to viewpoints, and spotting wildlife in bays. Seasonal touches add more romance and magic, with summer bringing the midnight sun, resulting in long, lingering days, and the shoulder seasons and winter offering the chance to catch the northern lights, for those moments of awe, enjoyed as a new couple.

Spanning from St Tropez to Monaco and Nice, the French Riviera is a classic Mediterranean haunt for a honeymoon.

Wander the atmospheric cobblestone streets of Antibes hand in hand, stroll the gardens of Nice, visit the stunning clifftop village of Eze, helicopter into the vineyards of Provence, and shop in the boutiques of Cannes. If fine dining is your love language, you will have plenty of addresses to choose from, with the French Riviera offering some of the best in the world. 

While on board, anchor opposite renowned spots to be seen or head to the Lerins Islands or the Porquerolles for quieter escapes. With yachting at the heart of this chic Mediterranean region and France’s natural romantic charm, it’s the perfect surrounding to celebrate your love.

With year-round sunshine, turquoise waters, and soft pink-hued beaches, the Bahamas is a honeymoon paradise. Over 700 islands and thousands of coral cays present countless opportunities to anchor in secluded spots for sipping champagne, watching incredible sunsets, and alfresco dining under starlit skies.

In the north, the Abacos are a place where you can explore pristine coves, get underwater to dive into vibrant coral reefs, and ashore to quaint towns on Great Abaco and Little Abaco. Further south, the Exumas, with yachting itineraries often starting from Nassau, combine adventure and relaxation. Snorkel and dive the Exuma Land and Sea Park together, meet the famous pigs of Big Major Cay, and play out your James Bond moments at Thunderball Grotto. The Out Islands, Eleuthera and Harbour Island, in particular, offer even more privacy and seclusion for newlyweds, with untouched beauty and picturesque pink sands.

If lying on a beach and relaxing isn't your idea of a honeymoon, an action-packed trip to Hawaii might be more your style. On Big Island, ride horseback through the dramatic Waipi'o Valley with its striking black-sand shoreline, an ideal setting for a gourmet picnic while looking out for hawksbill and green turtles sunbathing. Thrill-seeking couples can opt for a helicopter trip over Kīlauea Volcano. It's the most active in the world, and you can watch lava cascade over the cliffside, followed by a beautiful sunset and cocktails back on deck.

Though the Big Island is well-equipped to entertain daredevils and nature-lovers, excursions to the other islands are a must. Head to Kaua'i island and trek to the Opaeka'a Falls for a swim surrounded by mountains and rainforests, or arrange a trip to Lāna'i, to visit Pu'u Pehe, otherwise known as 'Sweetheart Rock’ - a fitting landmark for a honeymoon visit.

Favoured by Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge as a honeymoon destination of choice, the Seychelles is where couples can enjoy a tropical paradise. The Indian Ocean archipelago has more than 100 islands with immaculate beaches and the clearest waters, far from tourist hotspots. Newlyweds can explore two impressive UNESCO World Heritage sites here. The first, Aldabra Atoll, is the shallow lagoon home to over 150,000 giant tortoises and the world’s largest raised coral reef, while Vallee de Mai is a nature reserve full of endemic palms and ancient forest trails.

Experience an Island-hopping itinerary, spending days embracing your own castaway escape on some of the world’s best-rated beaches, and cooling off to enjoy magical underwater adventures. Back on board, romantic evenings can include multi-course dinners and stargazing on deck in the most stunning of settings.
