You’re amid the craze of wedding planning, longing for the relaxing light at the end of the tunnel. Or, perhaps, you and your partner are eager to explore somewhere new and romantic, somewhere in Europe.
Practically anywhere in Europe could be deemed a honeymoon destination–the whole continent exudes romance. But if you’re looking for Europe’s best beach honeymoon destinations, the ones with a mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation, this is the list for you.
Mallorca, Spain
For an authentic Mediterranean honeymoon, head to Mallorca. This Spanish Island has it all–rugged cliffs, azure coves, romantic architecture, refreshing cuisine, and a relaxed lifestyle. Mallorca's relaxed nature and unparalleled beauty draw in many honeymooners, as each day can be enjoyed by embarking on a new adventure or taking in the scenery with a glass of sangria in hand.
Adventurers may hike through the Tramuntana Mountains, stroll down the cobblestone streets of the islands’ villages, or hop along its pristine beaches, like Cala d’Or, Cala Llombardcds, and Cala Varques, to name a few.
But at the top of most honeymooners’ lists is a romantic retreat to relax and enjoy during their visit. Secrets Mallorca Villamil Resort & Spa is an adults-only spa resort in the quiet seaside town of Pegura, offering guests luxury resort accommodations with stunning island views.
Corfu, Greece
While you can’t go wrong with any of the Greek Islands, Corfu is Greece’s hidden gem for many reasons. Its untouched natural beauty entices, its storied past enchants, and its authentic Greek cuisine delights. And perhaps the biggest pull is that Corfu boasts a more intimate, less crowded island experience than some of its more touristy neighbors. It’ll feel as if Corfu is your own romantic corner of the world.
Secluded beaches like Paleokastrista and Porto Timoni will make your honeymoon look as if its straight out of a movie, and the island’s charming Old Town is crawling with ancient Greek history and waterfront taverns. Steal a spot on the water for a romantic candlelit dinner and watch the sea blend with the sky at sunset.
Dreams Corfu Resort & Spa is a relaxing beachfront oasis designed to impress a hopeless romantic. With elegant suites and private villas, this resort offers a honeymoon complete with unparalleled service, privacy, and luxury.
Tenerife, Spain
South of Spain’s mainland and off the coast of Africa are the captivating Canary Islands. Tenerife, the largest of the bunch, is a sun-soaked honeymoon paradise adorned by couples with plenty of opportunities for adventure and relaxation. It’s comparable to the landscapes of Hawaii but with the European twist of old villages and romantic charm.
Towering the island is Spain’s highest peak and active volcano, Mount Teide. From its black sand beaches to magnificent hikes, the volcanic landscapes of Tenerife are the perfect playground for adventurers, and its subtropical climate boasts ideal year-round sunshine for those who prefer to spend their vacation poolside.
Find honeymoon beach bliss at Riu Palace Tenerife in the area of Costa Adeje. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this resort includes luxury infinity pools, honeymoon packages, spacious suites, and resources to plan excursions to Teide National Park and beyond.
