If these romantic hotels around the world don't make you fall deeper in love, we don't know what will.

Are you a newly wed couple planning your honeymoon getaway? At the end of the entire wedding hullabaloo, all you desire is some tranquil time spent in each other’s arms. From isolated sandy beaches to ravishing rainforests, magnificent mountains to wondrous wilderness, there is no dearth of luxury retreats to fire up the passions. Skyscanner brings you the best hotels around the world that promise to make your honeymoon extra special.

1. Raffles Hotel, Singapore

If old-style colonial architecture is your thing, you will definitely love Raffles Hotel. However, the stunning exteriors and décor are not the only things that will leave you in awe – the hotel boasts of fifteen restaurants, a shopping arcade and a museum all housed within! What’s more, this charming property is located in the heart of the city, and provides easy access to all the places of interest. In short, this is the perfect place for couples who like to “live it up”.

2. Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur

Undoubtedly among the most romantic hotels across the globe, the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan offers opulence and magnificence galore. The luxury retreat is located amidst the scenic Lake Pichola against the backdrop of the Aravalli Mountains and embraces as many as 83 grand rooms and palatial suites. With the picturesque Lily Pond Courtyard, the Mewar Terrace, the breathtaking swimming pool and the rejuvenating Jiva spa at your disposal, Taj Lake Palace makes sure you and your better half are treated like royalty.

3. One by the Five, Paris

Always dreamed of being connected to the universe... and its stars? That's just one of the many experiences when staying at the One by the Five Hotel Paris. This one-of-its-kind single-suite hotel is located near the iconic Latin Quarter in Paris’s 5th arrondissement and is a niche filled with hedonism to the lees. Experience your own “love elixir” by indulging in the "sinful temptations" at the cocktail station, and let your passions rule as you levitate together on the magnificent floating bed. The rooms have a quirky futuristic paradise-like aura with fiber-optic stars, suspended clouds and well, a camera for some sensational private night recording (if you are into that sort of thing).

4. Intercontinental, Hong Kong

A tinge of traditional taste blends perfectly with a brush of modernism at this strikingly alluring hotel in Hong Kong. Sunken baths made up of stylish Italian marble, scintillating spa pools, butler service throughout the day – can anything be more pampering than this? To make the most of your stay in the hotel, reserve a honeymoon room with views of Hong Kong Island and the harbour even while you enjoy a relaxing evening in each other’s arms.

5. Anantara Kihavah Villas, Baa Atoll, Maldives

With its grand over-the-pool and beach-pool villas, this Maldivian resort exudes romance unlimited. Waking up beside your beloved in a villa surrounded by turquoise waters on all sides and sipping on some lip-smacking champagne amidst the stunning deck feels as divine as can be. Enjoy delectable gourmet cuisine customised to your taste and made by your own personal chef only to get cosy in your comfortable suite bed beautifully decorated with flowers.

6. Centurion Palace, Venice

Venice is perfect for lovers as is, but one glimpse at the Centurion Palace Hotel on the iconic Grand Canal in Venice will render an archaic, Gothic-styled aesthetic feel that is oh-so-romantic. Step inside it to experience a completely contrasting ambience splashed with vibrant colours and modern décor. Each room has its own unique character and you are left spoilt for choice. Whether you opt for the opulent Presidential Suite done up in bright red hues or the majestic Deluxe Junior Suite overlooking the Grand Canal, the experience remains inimitable.

7. Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay, Bali

Nothing can cast a more mystical spell on your romantic vacation than a retreat that harmonises natural splendour with tinges of local culture. And with Four Seasons Bali you get to experience just that. The villas are bedecked and created in the form of Hindu Temples while amenities inside spell sheer luxury. Whether it is taking a dip together in your own private infinity pool or enjoying a drink while gazing at the setting sun, the Four Season’s quintessential experience is sure to mesmerize you.

8. Sofitel Legend Metropole, Hanoi

Revisit the grand Victorian Era amidst lush lawns, serene walkways and majestic classic white shutters at the Sofitel Lendend Metropole, Hanoi, Vietnam. With its quintessential French ambience and historic backdrop, the hotel ensures you utmost pampering with its array of suites and luxury amenities, and in the midst of one of the most romantic settings. Immerse yourself in traditional treatment therapies brought straight from the Asian and French soil at the Le Spa du Metropole or live like a king at one of the Somerset Maugham or Charlie Chaplin suites – the experience will sweep you off your feet.

9. Six Senses, Yao Noi

Tucked on a hillside between the two islands of Phuket and Krabi, Six Senses Yao Noi is just the place to go honeymooning for those looking for unprecedented luxury amidst nature. All the 56 pool villas at the Six Senses are incredibly spacious and open, and yet offer ultimate privacy for couples. Soak amidst your own private infinity swimming pool, relax in the terrace or simply chill on your villa deck that opens up to the ocean or pool. The prices are definitely high up there, but if you are ready to splurge for a memorable honeymoon, this one is not to be missed.

10. Banyan Tree, Seychelles

An isolated array of Creole-style villas exuding a colonial plantation feel, albeit with a décor that is contemporary, the Banyan Tree, Seychelles is a romantic retreat that ensures complete privacy along with oodles of pampering. The resort is located on Intendance Bay, which is popular for its glorious tropical surroundings and native Takamaka trees. A range of ambrosial menu awaits you at the Au Jardin d’Epices while the spa services are simply out of this world!
