12 of the best superyacht honeymoon destinations

Hawaii

For the couple who enjoys outdoor activities

If lying on a beach for two weeks isn't your idea of a honeymoon to remember, an action-packed trip to Hawaii might be more your style. Head to Waipi'o Valley on the big island for a romantic horse riding tour and discover cascading waterfalls, lush green cliffs and the iconic black sand beach, where you can enjoy a lavish picnic – look out for hawksbill and green turtles sunbathing in the afternoons.

Thrillseekers 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 as steam emanates from the ocean waves below. This, followed by a breathtaking sunset, makes for an extremely memorable trip.

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'.

Unwind back on the big island with a trip to the Four Seasons spa for a couples massage or simply stroll to Hapuna Beach with a bottle of bubbly to watch the extraordinary sunset.

There are a number of anchorages around Hawaii and yachts such as 87.78 metre Musashi and 119 metre Motor Yacht A have visited in recent years.

Mamanuca Islands, Fiji

For the couple looking for natural beauty

The Mamanuca Group is a volcanic archipelago of 20 idyllic islands near Denarau, which are home to some of the most exclusive resorts perfect for couples on their honeymoon.

The coral reefs surrounding the islands are a kaleidoscope of sea life, making this the perfect spot for snorkelling and diving. There are a number of wreck dives to explore, including a popular American bomber plane. Divers can expect to see turtles, sharks and manta rays, as well as a huge array of corals and fish.

Couples are spoilt for choice when it comes to adult-only resorts. The Royal Davui Island Resort offers three packages tailored for honeymooners — Romance, which includes a sandy cay picnic and a couples massage, Adventure, which offers a picnic, fishing trip and scuba diving course, and Indulgence, which includes a choice of daily treatments at the Davui Spa such as body scrubs, facials and beauty treatments. Additionally, it's one of the best private islands to rent around the world.

Alternatively, The Likuliku Lagoon offers luxurious over-water bure accommodation, perfect for those who can't get enough of the beautiful scenery — peer off the edge of your private deck to look out for tropical fish while enjoying a cocktail and the complimentary canapés that are delivered daily.

Vessels up to 75 metres can moor in Port Denarau Marina on the main island of Fiji. There are also a number of secluded anchorages around the islands from which guests can tender to shore.
