The best antidote to the chaos (and excitement) of planning and executing a wedding is jetting off on a romantic honeymoon, just you and your significant other. What better way to wind down, celebrate your partnership, and decompress than by hopping on a plane and jetting off somewhere magical?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the black beaches of Santorini to the rolling vineyards of California\u2019s wine country, here are a few of the most romantic honeymoon ideas to extend your celebration of love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Santorini, Greece<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"With picture-perfect views in every direction, Santorini is a Greek honeymoon must, and for good reason. Setting the stage for romance are countless boutique hotels perched on cliff walls, whitewashed buildings, and cerulean domed churches \u2013 all facing the sea. Splurge for a room with a plunge pool, overlooking the postcard views and mythical caldera below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip: <\/b>Stay in Oia, located on the quieter side of the island. While there are still cruise groups and tours passing through, it offers a far more intimate feel than busy Fira.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maui, Hawaii<\/b><\/p>\n

Visitors to the Aloha State are greeted with a warm temperate climate, stunning vistas, and the lingering scent of plumeria in the air. It\u2019s no wonder it\u2019s a favorite among honeymooners, who gravitate to the luxurious Wailea, home to the island\u2019s finest resorts. From The Four Seasons and The Fairmont to The Grand Wailea and newly built Andaz, Wailea provides an upscale environment to unwind and is bordered by calm beaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip: <\/b>Explore the islands from the air on a jaw-dropping helicopter tour that showcases the dramatic and lush Hawaiian landscape, or be brave and grab a scooter for some fun free easy going travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Napa Valley<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"Thinking of staying a little closer to home? The Napa (and Sonoma) Valley\u2019s are a wine lover\u2019s dream and roughly two and half hours from San Francisco. Stroll the countless vineyards, indulge in gourmet fare at The French Laundry, and take in Napa\u2019s vibrant art scene. The laid-back Sonoma offers visitors a less commercialized alternative, and at almost double the size of Napa, plenty of wineries to choose from. Sonoma\u2019s Fairmont Mission Inn Resort & Spa makes for a great home base to explore the region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip: <\/b>However kitschy it may feel, the Napa Valley Wine Train is a great way to make stops at the vineyards without the use of a car, and in a more elegant (and romantic) setting than a minibus. And if you don’t drink, (I don’t) you can still take in the relax and beautiful vineyards and enrich your palette with fine cheese and charcuterie!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Amalfi Coast<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"A popular destination for Italians and world travelers alike, Italy\u2019s Amalfi Coast is romance personified. Pastel-colored buildings are perched on steep cliffs over the sparkling Mediterranean ocean, the winding streets and alleys buzz with Vespas zipping past, and the smell of sugar cones for gelato and baked goods emanate from cozy, family-run establishments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are myriad options for your home base, from the busy but conveniently located Sorrento (perfect for day trips to Naples and Pompeii) to the luxe Positano (famous for its dramatic scenery and sandy beach). If you\u2019re looking for the glam of Positano without the crowds, consider the more laid-back Ravello, a tiny village lacking direct beach access \u2013 but making up for it in luxurious accommodation options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

French Polynesia<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"Last but never least and my personal favorite, the Frenchy Polynesia.\u00a0 Gracing many a traveler\u2019s bucket list is the romantic island of Bora Bora and its surrounding atolls. Known for its towering Mt. Otemanu and luxurious overwater bungalows, Bora Bora is about as romantic as they come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelers seeking that same experience with a slightly lower price tag often opt for the island of Moorea, with a range of resorts offering both hotel rooms and overwater bungalows \u2013 all set against a stunning tropical backdrop.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many luxury options when it comes to accomodation so I’ll just mention one I’ve heard of but never been, just to give you some ideas for your bucketlist.<\/span><\/p>\n

For couples who are ready to go <\/span>all out<\/span><\/i>, there\u2019s The Brando \u2013 a luxurious resort located on the private Tetiaroa atoll and touted \u201cThe Most Luxurious Eco-Resort in the World\u201d by <\/span>Town & Country<\/span><\/i> Magazine. The brainchild of Marlon Brando, the resort not only offers guests intimate access to French Polynesia but also acts as a center for research and education. Sustainability is weaved through everything at The Brando, from the deep seawater air-conditioning system to the coconut oil biofuel power station. However, just because this is an eco-resort does <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> mean that luxury has been abandoned. Guests arrive by private plane, accommodations are individual villas on their own stretch of white sand beach, and guests have access to biologists and naturalist guides for one-on-one tours and educational sessions<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
