India Honeymoon Trip Ideas
Our India honeymoon specialist, Nia, says:
"India is one of those rare places where romance feels effortless. One day you might be watching the sunrise over the Taj Mahal, the next drifting through Kerala’s backwaters or sharing a quiet candlelight dinner on an ancient stone step at Rawla Narlai. What I love most is how every region has its own rhythm, coming together to create a journey of discovery for both of you.”

India Honeymoon FAQs
Planning a India honeymoon? Our experts share advice on everything from what to pack, when to go, to tips for families, covering the questions we get asked the most.
Is India a romantic destination for a honeymoon?
Yes, India can be a superb choice for a honeymoon, offering a rich blend of romance, discovery and indulgence. From lakeside palaces and candle-lit dinners to beach villas and jungle lodges, you’ll find settings that feel intimate, extraordinary and deeply memorable.
What unique experiences can we enjoy when on honeymoon in India?
Your honeymoon in India can include experiences that are both special and bespoke. You might stay in an elegant heritage-palace hotel overlooking a shimmering lake, take a private boat ride at sunset, enjoy a romantic rooftop dinner under stars, explore tea-covered hills by day and unwind in a spa by evening. You might also trade palm-fringed beaches for coral reefs, or track wildlife together in a reserve, then relax in your private villa by the sea.
Can we combine beaches with culture and adventure if on honeymoon in India?
Absolutely. One of the greatest strengths of India as a honeymoon destination is the ability to combine beach time with cultural heritage and even a dash of adventure. Imagine a sequence like this: mornings spent exploring grand forts or ancient temples, afternoons in a luxury spa or jungle lodge, and then a few nights on a secluded beach or tropical island. The transitions give your honeymoon rhythm and variety, ensuring you both experience shared discovery, moments of tranquillity and a touch of magic.
When is the best time to go on a honeymoon in India?
The optimal travel window depends on the region you choose, but broadly speaking, October to March is the most comfortable and reliable period for many parts of India, especially for heritage, beach and luxury stays.If your honeymoon takes you to hill-stations or cooler climates, then March to June (before the heat peaks) can also work beautifully. It’s wise to pick your region (north, south, coast, hills) first and then match the season accordingly.
Which regions are best for a honeymoon in India?
Several regions stand out for honeymooners. In north India, cities such as Udaipur (with its lakes and palaces) and the heritage hotels of Rajasthan offer regal romance.In southern India and along the coast, places like Kerala (tea estates, backwaters) and the islands of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands (white sands, turquoise seas) bring tropical privacy and luxury. If you favour cooler climates or mountain scenery, hill-stations in the Himalayas or the Western Ghats provide another beautiful flavour.
Are there adults-only or romantic resorts in India?
Yes, many high-end resorts in India cater specifically to couples and honeymoons, offering private villas, couples’ spa treatments, candle-lit dinners, and suites designed for two. For example, a resort in the Andamans presents luxury villas and bespoke romantic experiences designed for couples.These properties are well-suited to honeymooners seeking exclusivity, quiet luxury and tailored service.
Is India safe for honeymooners?
Yes, India is broadly a safe destination for honeymooners when the trip is well-planned and you choose trusted providers, quality accommodations and sensible travel logistics. As with any international travel, being aware of local customs, arranging private transfers, and choosing luxury properties with strong service make a big difference.
What kind of food experiences can we enjoy as a couple?
Vietnamese cuisine is vibrant and romantic. Enjoy candlelit dinners on riverside terraces, sample street food together in the evenings, or join a private cooking class to learn regional dishes. From fresh seafood to fragrant herbs and tropical fruit, sharing meals here is a sensory delight.
How long should we spend in India for a honeymoon?
For a luxury honeymoon that includes variety (heritage, nature or beach) we generally advise a minimum of 10-14 days, which allows you to explore two regions at a relaxed pace. If you want to include three distinct experiences (for example palaces, a wildlife or hill segment, and then beach time) then 14-21 days provides space, rhythm and luxury. The aim is to feel unhurried, cherished and immersed rather than rushed.
Can we combine an Indian honeymoon with another destination?
Yes, combining India with a side-trip abroad is entirely feasible, especially if you have a week or two. For example, you might begin your honeymoon in India and then hop to the Maldives for a few days of additional luxury or contrast.
