Did you say yes to the dress? If wedding bells are in your not-too-distant future, you’ve probably spent countless hours planning every detail of your big day, from the music to the flowers to the food. You’ve slaved over seating arrangements, written heartfelt wedding vows, and tracked down every household item imaginable for your registry. So it should come as no surprise if you’re in desperate need of some R&R by the time you finally trade “I do’s.”
Luckily, though, you still have a honeymoon left to plan. Regardless of whether your idea of paradise is a secluded beach, a bustling city, or an eco-friendly luxury resort, we’ve found the perfect destination for you to embark on the next chapter of your life. So sit back, relax and read on for four of the most splurge-worthy honeymoon ideas in the world.
The tiny French Polynesian island of Bora Bora boasts white sand beaches, crystal-clear lagoons and a plethora of world-class resorts and spas. Dubbed “The Pearl of the Pacific,” Bora Bora is the epitome of getting away from it all. It’s also the perfect spot for newlyweds to enjoy snorkeling, deep sea diving, and five-star French dining. Splurge on an overwater bungalow at a luxurious hotel like Le Meridien Bora Bora, where you can watch tropical fish, stingrays, and baby sea turtles swim by through a glass floor in your room. Or sip an expensive bottle of French champagne on your private balcony while watching the sunset by Mount Otemanu. Rates start at $762 per night.
Are you the outdoorsy type? If so, look no further than Post Ranch Inn to unplug in style. Each of the 39 rooms at this ultra-exclusive Big Sur, California resort boasts dramatic ocean or mountain views, including the infamous tree house rooms which are free-standing structures built on stilts nine feet off the forest floor (with a private stairway to each entrance). Newlyweds can enjoy the breathtaking forest views from two infinity pools, daily meditation and yoga classes, guided nature hikes, edible garden tours, and nightly star gazing. Rates start at $1,425 per night.
There are plenty of reasons why Paris is nicknamed the “City of Love.” This chic European metropolis is home to historic monuments, art museums, and cathedrals. It also boasts some of the best restaurants, art galleries, and shopping districts in the world.

Rates start at $1,279 per night.
