Looking for hotel/travel suggestions for a honeymoon in Indonesia! Planning on a day or two in Jakarta then luxury tranquil beach holiday vibes. Nihi in Sumba looks amazing but definitely on the upper end of the budget, I’ve always wanted to go to Raja Ampat but we don’t have that much leave (12 days total including travel from the UK) so not sure if if it’s worth it considering we’d need 2 travel days just to get there/back from Jakarta.

I grew up in Jakarta and have been to Bali, Lombok, Gorontalo, Moyo Island, Komodo and Flores so looking for other recommendations! Wouldn’t mind going slightly off the beaten path or non-luxe options as long as it’s not backpacking type stays. Beach is very important, and would love to go snorkelling. Budget is £10k all in (flights, hotels, etc.)

Planning a honeymoon to srilanka this December. Want it to be filled with diverse experiences such as hot air balloon, whale watching, luxury stays, must attend party places.

We are a young couple open to try anything and explore srilanka. Planning a 10 days trip. Any suggestions/ help would be appreciated.

Looking to avoid the Caribbean due to Hurricane season, but want an All inclusive. Where have you been? What do you think?

Looking to honeymoon June 28 to July 13 2027 in Ireland and Scotland. Would love help planning this trip. Looking for a combo of hiking, pubs, castles, and all of the cool things in between. Around 10k budget

My fiancée and I are planning our honeymoon in Las Vegas in September 2027 for around a week, and I’d love some advice from people who have actually been recently.

I’ve already done the usual Google/YouTube/ChatGPT searches and looked at all the standard “Top 10 Vegas hotels” lists 😂 — but I’m much more interested in real experiences, particularly from couples/honeymooners.

We’re both early 30s and are looking for somewhere that feels luxurious, modern, clean and romantic, but still puts us close to the action.

A few things I’d particularly love opinions on:
🏨 Best hotel for a honeymoon?
❤️ Which hotels have the best** couples/romanti**c
atmosphere?
🛏️ Which rooms are genuinely worth paying extra for?
👀 Best Strip/view rooms?
✨ Which hotels feel properly luxury, rather than just expensive?
🍸 Best hotels for restaurants, bars, pools and things to do without constantly leaving the resort?
📍 How important is location really?
☀️ Is staying further up the Strip (e.g. Fontainebleau/Wynn) annoying in September because of the heat?
🚫 Any hotels you’d avoid for a honeymoon, and why?
💰 Anything you paid extra for that was absolutely worth it — or something you’d definitely not pay extra for again?

At the moment I’m looking at places like Fontainebleau, Wynn/Encore, Venetian/Palazzo, and Cosmopolitan, but I’m very open to being convinced otherwise.

If you’ve done a Vegas honeymoon/couples trip recently, what would you book again — and what would you do differently?

I’m particularly interested in the “if I were doing it again, I’d 100% do X” type of advice rather than generic hotel rankings.

Thanks! 🙌

Looking for a US resort with nice pool lounging and no kids. Planning for June/July. I realize there are a lot of options outside the US as we’ve been to some, but want to stay in US this time.

Our total budget MAX is about $8k USD. We are located in the midwestern US for reference.

We would like to go to somewhere on the coast that is also a larger city. Our favorite vacations have been places like NYC or San Francisco because we were by the water and could swim if we wanted but also had a ton to do because it's a huge city. Ideally we would like to leave the country. we are open to literally anywhere this applies unless it's like a crazy flight (24h or more).

The other thing is we prefer that it is not SUPER hot. We get it, it's July, but we would prefer we aren't melting our faces off. like if it's possible to go somewhere where it's majority of the time under 100° that would be preferable. We are also lesbians so it must be LGBTQ friendly!

My fiancé and I are getting married next summer and have really been wanting to do a Mediterranean/European honeymoon (unheard of, I know). We know late July is very busy, but we’re thinking of spending most of the trip in Croatia. Has anyone travelled around Croatia in July? Any tips? We’re pretty flexible, and want to go somewhere that’s warm, enjoyable, but not insanely busy.

My fiancé and I are looking for suggestions for our honeymoon. Here are some details:

Dates: Sunday 10/3 or Monday 10/4 through Saturday 10/9

Budget: around $5,000, however we also can use some credit card points so there is some wiggle room with our budget

Airport: flying out of CVG, ideally we would love just one layover if possible

Vibe: we want to be somewhere warm, by water, and to have a good mix of relaxing and doing activities (exploring, hiking, etc). We are interested in an all inclusive but open to other options

Any input, ideas, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Please give me any and all suggestions! TIA!!

Hi! My fiancé and I are planning our honeymoon for March 2027 and are thinking of doing Thailand followed by the Maldives before flying back to the UK.

For Thailand, we’re currently thinking Bangkok + Krabi, then around 5 nights in the Maldives. Does this sound like a good combination, or would you recommend somewhere different in Thailand?

At the moment our main options are Kagi and Komandoo, but we’re definitely open to other recommendations around the same budget.

Also, has anyone booked a Maldives resort through The Resorts Collection? They’ve given us some really good quotes and have been very helpful so far, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has actually booked and travelled with them.

Thanks! 😊
