Couples are focusing on luxury all-inclusive resorts with a mix of classic areas and some newer ones! Check them all out below.
Best Honeymoon Destinations for 2026
Sandals Grande St. Lucian
1. St. Lucia
St. Lucia is a great spot if you are looking for romantic scenery and privacy. This destination has a unique romantic atmosphere that you won’t find everywhere. We love so many properties here, many of which are more intimate and elevated – perfect for honeymooners! Some of our favorite honeymoon resorts in St. Lucia include Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals Halcyon Beach. The Grande is a true honeymoon classic with overwater bungalows and multiple beautiful beaches. Halcyon Beach is smaller and more quiet. It is ideal for couples wanting a slower pace and to truly disconnect from the “real world”.
We can’t include St. Lucia on this list without mentioning one of our all-time favorites: Jade Mountain. This is one of the most iconic honeymoon resorts in the world. It’s known for its open-air suites with private infinity pools and perfect views of the Pitons. While it does not offer traditional all-inclusive stays, it does have an all-inclusive meal plan.
Secrets Cap Cana
2. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Punta Cana is great for honeymooners, with a ton of luxury and high-end all-inclusive properties. We also love it due to the ease of traveling there, and it’s a great option for those on a tighter budget. Many of our travel agents visited this destination in 2025, and they all agreed that the resort quality has increased dramatically in recent years.
Two of our favorite properties for honeymoon couples in Punta Cana include Secrets Cap Cana and Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana. These are both adults-only, all-inclusive options with great dining and an upscale vibe.
Zemi Miches
3. Miches, Dominican Republic
Miches really surprised us in a great way this year! It is located just about 90 minutes from Punta Cana and offers some unique, new properties that would be perfect for honeymooners. This is definitely one of the most talked-about new honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean. Here you’ll find untouched beaches, lush surroundings, and a more private, boutique feel.
One honeymoon resort that we loved visiting in Miches this year was Zemi Miches Punta Cana. This property was outstanding, with unbeatable views and privacy. It would be great for honeymooners, but keep in mind that it is family-friendly, not adults-only. There is an adults-only section, however, with a private fine-dining restaurant and 1, 2, or 3-bedroom villas right on the beach.
Miches is perfect for those wanting something that feels exclusive and new.
Secrets Akumal
4. Riviera Maya, Mexico
We will never stop loving Riviera Maya and constantly suggest it for our honeymooners. It truly has so much to offer, and all-inclusive properties for every budget and desire. It also has such incredible dining and nightlife, both at the resorts and in Cancun. We also love that you have access to great activities like cenotes, ruins, and eco-parks. It’s ideal for those honeymooners who want relaxation mixed with a little adventure or nightlife. Two luxury hotels we are loving right now for honeymooners are Secrets Akumal and Hotel Xcaret Arte.
Sandals South Coast
5. Jamaica
Jamaica is another all-time favorite. You truly cannot beat the friendly locals and the culture. You’ll also find beautiful beaches, amazing service, and a relatively easy travel experience. We love Sandals South Coast and Sandals Royal Caribbean. Sandals South Coast offers overwater bungalows and a more secluded setting, while Royal Caribbean is a classic honeymoon choice with a private offshore island.
Grace Bay Club
6. Turks & Caicos
Turks & Caicos provides that luxury feel and low-key elegance that is just perfect for honeymooners. It is quintessential Caribbean, with crystal-clear water and a distinct culture. Turks & Caicos is ideal for honeymooners who value pristine beaches and a quieter, more refined atmosphere. All-inclusive options are limited, but the quality is high.
We love Grace Bay Club here for honeymooners. It is not all-inclusive, but it’s really the perfect choice for anyone honeymooning in the Turks!
How to Choose the Right Honeymoon Destination for You
When narrowing down the best honeymoon destination for 2026, consider:

- Travel time and ease from your home airport
- Whether you want a tried-and-true destination or something new like Miches
The best honeymoon destinations for 2026 blend luxury, comfort, and experiences that feel meaningful rather than overly packaged. Whether you’re drawn to a classic like St. Lucia, a reliable favorite like Punta Cana, or an emerging destination like Zemi Miches, the right resort makes all the difference. Working with a travel professional helps ensure your honeymoon is seamless, well-timed, and tailored to your style. That way, you can focus on enjoying the start of married life, not managing logistics.
