This is a guide for moms of engaged couples and newly-weds looking for an exciting and relaxing Mediterranean honeymoon destination.
Amalfi Coast
This Neapolitan Riviera is known for its luxurious boutique hotels with exceptional sea views. Take a trip to the historic city of Pompei, revel in the cultured ambience of Sorrento or relax on the stunning beaches of Ischia. Enjoy the blend of rustic old world splendor with modern, comfortable amenities. The Amalfi Coast is a hotspot of beautiful sights and cultural intrigue made for honeymooners.
Cyprus
For a truly romantic honeymoon experience, book a trip to the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Cyprus is known for its enviable climate, so get ready to soak up some serious sun on one of the pristine, turquoise sea beaches! Protaras and Polis are both havens of natural coastal beauty. Explore the vineyards, mountainous landscapes and perfumed orchards while you’re there.
Malta
Food in Malta represents a blend of Mediterranean cooking inspired by islanders and past civilizations. Try a kannoli (ricotta filled crispy pastry) or visit the fish market for the freshest taste of the sea. Drift into reverie while you lie on the beach for hours, or experience some of the invigorating or relaxing spa treatments available; like the algae body wraps, or romantic couple massages. For a cultural escape, visit some of Malta’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites and discover the history behind what you see today. You can also go on a romantic bike ride for two, hop on some water skis or go climbing.
Sardinia
This unspoiled island off the western coast of Italy is a paradise of sun, sea and culture. The food is absolutely divine, and can be enjoyed in restaurants overlooking the beach at night. There are mesmerizing coastline vistas of clear blue seas to be enjoyed on calm, hot days. You can charter a yacht and explore secluded coves, or stay at a rural retreat in the Sardinian countryside. If you’re up for a hike, trek along the Orosei Gulf trail to discover the isolated beaches and striking limestone cliffs.
