Your honeymoon should feel like the most beautiful chapter of your story. India offers a setting for every kind of couple, from beach lovers to culture seekers. Here are five of our favourites, with ideas to make each one truly special.
Goa: sunshine and celebration
Goa needs little introduction. Golden beaches, Portuguese-era architecture, lively nightlife and sensational seafood make it one of India’s best-loved honeymoon destinations, and the setting sun makes it easy to fall in love all over again.
Romantic moments
- Watch the sunset together from the ramparts of Chapora Fort.
- Stroll barefoot along the sand and linger over drinks at a beach shack.
- Dance the night away at one of Goa’s celebrated clubs.
- Unwind with a couples’ spa treatment after the wedding festivities.
Goa offers everything from boutique villas to five-star beach resorts, and we will find the right one for your style and budget.
Kerala: unhurried romance
Kerala brings together misty mountains, tranquil backwaters, spice plantations and restorative Ayurvedic spas. Walk hand in hand through the tea gardens of Munnar, breathe in the fresh hill air, then glide through palm-fringed waterways on a private houseboat.
Romantic moments
- Indulge in a relaxing Ayurvedic spa ritual.
- Cruise the backwaters of Alleppey or Kumarakom on a private houseboat.
- Explore the forests and waterfalls of Wayanad with your own chauffeur.
- Watch the sun set beside the Chinese fishing nets of Fort Kochi.
Kashmir: snow-dusted luxury
With views often compared to those of Switzerland, Kashmir is made for couples. Snow-covered meadows, crisp mountain air and cosy evenings by the fire create a setting of quiet luxury, while Srinagar’s Dal Lake is pure poetry.
Romantic moments
- Ride the Gulmarg Gondola to nearly 14,000 feet for breathtaking views.
- Savour traditional Kashmiri cuisine, including a lavish wazwan feast.
- Drift across Dal Lake on a shikara as the sun goes down.
- Spend a night aboard a heritage houseboat in Srinagar.
The Andaman Islands: barefoot paradise
With powder-white beaches, turquoise water and world-class diving, the Andamans rival the Maldives and Mauritius, and you never have to leave India. Sun-kissed days, a touch of history and gentle island rhythms make them the perfect place to create lasting memories.
Romantic moments
- Enjoy a candlelit dinner on the beach beneath the stars.
- Snorkel or dive together among vibrant coral reefs.
- Watch the sun set over Radhanagar Beach on Swaraj Dweep (Havelock Island).
- Explore peaceful Shaheed Dweep (Neil Island) at your own pace.
Udaipur: classic, cinematic romance
Is Udaipur as magical as it looks on screen? Absolutely. With its lakeside palaces, rooftop restaurants and glowing skyline, the City of Lakes is one of India’s most romantic destinations, and a wonderful place to experience the elegance of royal Rajasthan.
Romantic moments
- Arrange a couples’ photoshoot at a heritage palace.
- Take a sunset boat ride across Lake Pichola.
- Dine on a rooftop overlooking the illuminated city.
Our tip: Pair two contrasting destinations, such as the hills of Munnar and the beaches of the Andamans, for a honeymoon full of variety.
