The answer very much depends on you as a couple! All-inclusive honeymoon destinations may not be for everyone.

If you don’t drink alcohol or if you prefer to check out the local dining scene, then an all-inclusive honeymoon resort might not be the right choice of honeymoon type for you.

However, if you want to relax in a stunning resort, eat and drink without worrying about where to go or how much it’s going to cost, then all-inclusive honeymoon destinations are definitely for you!

Weddings are so much fun to plan, but they are also kinda exhausting! So the benefit of going to all-inclusive honeymoon destinations is that you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Order cocktails poolside and feast in beautiful buffets or à la carte restaurants. They might even include some fun daily activities like water sports.

When looking up all-inclusive honeymoon destinations around the world, it can be a little confusing. The price range can vary, as can what’s included!

From all-inclusive honeymoon destination to destination and all-inclusive honeymoon resort to resort, you might wonder where to start!

For example, in the Maldives, resorts mights not include all restaurants, but in Mexico, they often are. In the Maldives, there are often some added activities, but not in other destinations.

Let’s break it down — here are the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations…

On the Pacific Coast you have Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit.

Along the east coast’s Riviera Maya, you can choose in all-inclusive honeymoon icon, Cancun and down the coast to Playa Del Carmen and Tulum.

You’ll find beautiful stretches of coastline with hotels for every taste and budget, usually with plenty of different restaurants to choose from.

For high-end luxury, check out Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun Adults Only, Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos Adult Only, Grand Velas Los Cabos and popular honeymoon hotel groups like Secrets Resorts & Spas.

Make the most of the attentive service with poolside cocktail delivery, à la carte restaurants. If budget allows, opt for dreamy ocean view or spectacular swim-up suites. It is your honeymoon, after all!

Mexico is also wonderful because if you can tear yourselves away from your slice of all-inclusive honeymoon luxury, you can also leave your resort to explore whether it be for culture, history, or partying.

On the Riviera Maya, swim in a cenote, visit ancient Chichen Itza and visit Los Colorados (aka Pink Lake).

From Cabo, go whale watching, sea kayaking and take a Mexican Cooking Class.

Back at the resort – relax with a visit to a heavenly spa for a couples massage.

It’s easy to see why Mexico is one of the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations in the world.

How to get there: For Cancun and beyond, fly to Cancun (airport code: CUN) or Tulum (TDO) and for Cabo, fly to San José Los Cabos (SJD)

There are too many wonderful and unique islands. You could even combine some islands for a dream island hopping honeymoon!

But one of our top picks for the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations is the Dominican Republic.

Punta Cana is the spot for a huge choice of all inclusive resorts, known for its powdery white sands and turquoise waters.

This island has stunning beaches and a ton of resorts like favourite Secrets Cap Cana, Excellence Punta Cana, Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Sanctuary Cap Cana. 

Much like Mexico, the resorts in the Dominican Republic ‌have many restaurants included.

Plus, this is one of the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations for adventure seekers. It also has a jungle interior and stunning coastline with a plenty of outdoor activities.

Spend a day cruising to the idyllic Isla Saona, where you can snorkel, sunbathe, and enjoy a fresh seafood lunch right on the beach.

Head to the Samaná Peninsula to see humpback whales (from January to March) or go horseback riding through the emerald jungle to the impressive El Limón waterfall.

Zipline over lush canopies, parasail along the coast or take an ATV ride through the rainforest. Plus, there’s plenty of nightlife including Cancun import, Coco Bongos, for couples who want to keep the wedding party going!

How to get there: Fly to Punta Cana (airport code: PUJ) or Santo Domingo (SDQ)

Iconic beaches, distinctive culture, jungle, waterfalls, music, hospitality and even some overwater bungalows at Sandals Resorts await on a honeymoon in Jamaica!

Picture yourselves unwinding in a plush suite at Sandals South Coast or Sandals Royal Caribbean where all-inclusive packages mean you can enjoy everything from gourmet dining to waters ports.

But a honeymoon in Jamaica wouldn’t be complete without exploring beyond the resort!

Go river rafting trip along the Martha Brae, where local guides will serenade you with folklore as you float down the jade-green waters.

Climb the famous terraced waterfalls of Dunn’s River, or take a sunset catamaran cruise along the Negril coast.

Discover the natural wonder of the Luminous Lagoon, where bioluminescent organisms make the water glow under the night sky.

Foodies should dive into the island’s culinary delights – jerk chicken to rum punch.

And, of course, dance the night away to the sounds of reggae and dancehall – Jamaica is the ultimate all-inclusive honeymoon escape.

How to get there: Fly to Montego Bay (airport code: MBJ) or Kingston (KIN)

The island’s coastline is dotted with luxurious resorts, turquoise water, dazzling white-sand beaches and swaying palm trees just like you’ve always dreamed of!

All-inclusive resorts like Hermitage Bay have everything you need from luxury suites with private plunge pools to beachfront fine dining. Private island all-inclusive honeymoon destinations? Then Jumby Bay Island is one to check out.

If you can tear yourselves away from your all-inclusive honeymoon bliss, explore the island!

Take a catamaran cruise, stopping at secluded coves for snorkelling or a private beach picnic. Kayak in the crystal-clear waters.

For history buffs, a visit to Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage site, reveals the island’s colonial past with well-preserved architecture and harbour.

Hike to Shirley Heights for panoramic views of the coastline. 

Plus, many sunset cocktails! This part of the world has some of the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations!

How to get there: Fly to Antigua (airport code: ANU)

While not all luxury resorts in St. Lucia are all-inclusive, it’s still one of the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations with some beautiful spots like Jade Mountain Resort and Serenity at Coconut Bay that consistently get rave reviews from The Honeymoon Guide readers.

Known for its iconic Piton mountains, this island is the perfect honeymoon backdrop.

You can even find some overwater bungalows at Sandals Grande St. Lucian.

The island is not just about luxury; it’s also a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers!

St. Lucia is one of our favourite all-inclusive honeymoon destinations for adventure seekers!

How to get there: Fly to St. Lucia’s Hewanorra International Airport (airport code: UVF) or George F.L. Charles Airport, (SLU)

Known for its biodiversity, this Central American gem is ideal for couples who love nature. We love to recommend a honeymoon tour of Costa Rica visiting spots like La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio.

But if you’re more of a fly-and-flop kind of couple, there are some stunning resorts nestled between rainforests and pristine beaches of Guancaste on the north west Pacific Coat.

Stay at Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica where you can indulge in gourmet dining, luxurious spa treatments, and serene beachfront cabanas or try Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo combines eco-luxury with stunning Pacific views and you can upgrade to all-inclusive here, too.

You can just relax in your resort but Costa Rica is the kind of all-inclusive honeymoon destination where you’ll definitely want to spend some time outside of the resort!

There are so many honeymoon activities in Costa Rica – the magic lies in the natural wonders!

Volcanos, waterfalls, sloths. Zipline tour over the treetops, stroll across the hanging bridges, white-water rafting down the Tenorio River or hike through the Arenal Volcano National Park, where hot springs await for a post-hike soak. 

There are no all-inclusive honeymoon destinations quite like Costa Rica for a mix of relaxation and unadulterated adventure!

How to get there: Fly to Liberia Airport / Guanacaste Airport (LIR)

We love to recommend a Greek Islands honeymoon island-hop to explore this European honeymoon icon, including stunning islands like Santorini and beautiful Mykonos and their nearby islands.

But for couples who just want to unwind, Greece has multiple hotels that offer all-inclusive honeymoon packages.

Discover instagram-faves like Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa or Daios Cove Luxury Resort & Villa on larger Greek islands like Crete.

You’ll find spots on Corfu and Rhodes, too. Kick back and enjoy Greek hospitality by a beautiful pool (and maybe even a private pool!) without a care in the world.

Can’t decide between an all-inclusive and an island-hopping honeymoon?

Why not do both? You can relax in an all-inclusive honeymoon resort in Crete and then take the ferry to Santorini – the best of both worlds!

If you’ve experienced all-inclusive honeymoon destinations like Mexico and the Caribbean, it’s worth noting that European all-inclusive hotels may not be as extensive.

The resorts that match the all-encompassing Mexico-style all-inclusive such as Ikos Resorts, will usually welcome families, too. Ideal for a familymoon, but maybe not ideal for couples seeking an adults-only vibe!

How to get there: You can fly to many Greek Islands from major European cities during the summer season from April to October, including Crete (airport code: HER or CHQ), Rhodes (RHO) or you can fly to Athens (ATH) and take the ferry or a domestic flight.

You can take a few days en route to any of these wonderful continents. But we think it’s a worthy honeymoon destination in its own right.

The opulent Dubai hotels with impeccable service, the pristine beaches, the romantic desert vibes, the bright lights of the cities and the sheer number of things to do.

Not only does the United Arab Emirates have some resorts, and it’s one of the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations, but you have access to the city if the food, drinking and relaxing becomes too much!

In our Dubai Honeymoon Guide and Abu Dhabi Honeymoon Guide, we have all the essential information you need to know to plan a city honeymoon.

Dubai is a shopper’s paradise, home to extravagant shopping malls and traditional souks.

Dubai’s heritage and modern attractions are a blend of tradition and innovation. Explore ancient markets in Old Dubai and admire architectural wonders like the Burj Khalifa.

Want to get the adrenaline going, then maybe do a skydive or head to one of the best water parks in the world!

Take a hot-air balloon ride. Looking for culture or science? Then there is a museum for you, too.

That’s if you can tear yourselves away from resorts like Rixos The Palm Hotel & Suites Dubai – Ultra All Inclusive or Five Palm Jumeirah Dubai.

Abu Dhabi has many attractions of its own, from opulent and romantic desert hotels to the Louvre and Ferrari World.

You can also opt for a quieter, more beach honeymoon vacation-style resort in Ras Al Khaimah or stay somewhere like Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island.

While it’s more common to choose a hotel or resort that is not all-inclusive, Dubai and the rest of the UAE is perfect for an all-inclusive honeymoon.

How to get there…fly to Dubai (airport code: DXB) or Abu Dhabi (AUH)

For couples who want an all-inclusive honeymoon package where you can truly switch off in one of the earth’s greatest paradises in a private island resort, then look no further.

If you’ve been dreaming of planning a honeymoon in the Maldives, you have our full support!

You’ve seen the romantic overwater villas, and we highly recommend staying in one of these heavenly room categories.

Upgrade to dreamy overwater bungalows with private infinity pools and your own personal water slide, for a real slice of heaven!

If you’re trying to budget, you could even split your stay. Do a couple of nights in a standard beach villa and upgrade to a bucket-list villa for the last few days. Or, opt for a more modestly priced villa.

One thing to note about the Maldives is that not all resorts are all-inclusive, particularly at the ultra-luxury level. Also, in some all-inclusive resorts, not all restaurants are included!

So it’s worth checking individual resort packages when planning a Maldives honeymoon.

Some of our favourites include Siyam World, Heritance Aarah, Ozen Life Maadhoo and Atmosphere Kanifushi.

You may only have the standard restaurant included with speciality dining costing extra. However, it’s definitely worth going all-inclusive if it’s on offer at your chosen resort in the Maldives.

The prices for food and drink are eye-watering, so it’s lovely not to have to worry about what you’re spending and you can live in the moment.

One lovely touch is that most resorts in the Maldives offer added extras like water sports included in the price.

How to get there: Fly via the Middle East, Europe and Asia to Male Velana International Airport (airport code: MLE)

But it’s also one of our favourite all-inclusive honeymoon destinations in its own right!

However, most couples will tag it on to a safari adventure honeymoon on mainland Tanzania or with a safari honeymoon in Kenya or even South Africa.

Spend some time seeing the Big 5 as you drive across the savannah, seeing lions, giraffes, elephants, cheetah, and a vast array of birdlife, then hop across to Zanzibar for a stunning beach add on.

You can spend your days lying by the magical Indian Ocean beaches and enjoying one of the all-inclusive honeymoon packages in resorts like Baraza Resort and Spa, Tulia Unique Beach Resort or Riu Palace.

Although, there is plenty to explore in Zanzibar if you can tear yourselves away.

The capital Stone Town is an old trading port and a really interesting place to visit with centuries old history. Take a trip to Mnemba Island.

The Zanzibar archipelago is one of the most incredible places to snorkel and scuba dive. Visit the giant tortoises on Prison Island. Don’t forget to take a trip to the famous overwater Rock Restaurant.

Zanzibar is one of the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations in Africa.

How to get there…fly from the Middle East or Tanzania and Kenya to Zanzibar (airport code: ZNZ)

One of the best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations with many resorts offering great discounts to couples on their all-inclusive honeymoon packages just because they are on honeymoon. Yay!

(Proof of marriage is usually required)!

Mauritius is an underrated destination. With beaches of dazzling white sand and shimmering turquoise lagoon, and delicious cuisine, it’s the perfect post-wedding treat.

Some hotels are not all-inclusive as standard in Mauritius and you can choose between a bed & breakfast, half board or all-inclusive rate at gems like LUX* Grand Gaube, SALT of Palmar, Heritage Le Telfair and Constance Belle Mare Plage.

The all-inclusive offering in most hotels in Mauritius will be of high quality, with a mixture of buffet and á la carte restaurants.

Not only are the resorts and hotels in Mauritius quite beautiful, but there is plenty of honeymoon activities in Mauritius to keep you occupied, too. As it’s a smaller island, nothing is too far away.

Take a catamaran cruise to uninhabited islands and hike for the most stunning paradisiacal views.

Mauritius is also a great add on to a road trip honeymoon itinerary or safari honeymoon in South Africa, Tanzania (or Kenya!) for an epic multi-destination honeymoon.

How to get there… fly from the Middle East, Europe and Africa to Mauritius (airport code: MRU)

When drinks are not always included as standard, you can add a drinks package to your cabin after booking, before you travel.

Because of the sheer number of wonderful cruise destinations, we had to include cruises in our list of best all-inclusive honeymoon destinations.

The ability to include drinks along with the ability to pre-book excursions and spa treatments means you can create a truly all-inclusive cruise honeymoon.

Think about sailing the Greek Islands, the western Mediterranean, the Southern Caribbean and Australia & New Zealand.

Do something different, like the Norwegian Fjords or Alaska or the Middle East from Dubai. Sail across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii or French Polynesia – how incredible would it be to see these destinations?

There are also exciting cruises that sail around Asia, including Vietnam, Japan and Singapore. Explore more of our favourite cruises here.

You can spend your days exploring iconic locations like the Venice, Sydney, Tokyo and Miami with days at sea to relax with plenty of pampering and flowing drinks and restaurants serving up feasts for the senses.

Whether your jam is broadway shows or bumper cars, entertainment is included. Go on surfing and skydiving simulators. Spend the day in the wonderful spas or just hang by the ship’s pools. Enjoy the serenity of the adult only areas.

Whether it’s a sophisticated adult-oriented cruise line like Celebrity Cruises or a fun for everyone cruise line like Royal Caribbean, we just love cruises for an all-inclusive honeymoon!

We love Royal Caribbean and Celebrity‘s Cruise Planner systems. You know exactly what’s booked before you even step onboard. We also love Virgin Voyages concept with soft drinks included and transparent pricing for alcoholic drinks.
