Snow-dusted mornings. Candlelit dinners. Hot tubs bubbling under star-pierced skies. Winter honeymoons are for couples who crave intimacy, the kind that comes from roaring fires, soft cashmere throws, and knowing you’ve found your perfect hideaway. From the sun-drenched shores of Marbella to the snowy silence of the Arctic, these eight hotels promise luxury, seclusion, and a touch of cinematic magic.
METT Marbella, Spain
For couples who want sunshine, style, and a hint of Andalusian glamour.
Set on the tranquil coast of Estepona, METT Marbella redefines the winter honeymoon with Mediterranean soul and modern flair. Think private garden suites with plunge pools, daily breakfasts in bed, and one-hour private spa sessions—all part of their Stylish Escape for Two package.
Days melt away between couples’ massages, dips in the heated indoor pool, and beachfront lunches at Azure Beach Club, where sushi, sashimi, and sea breeze are served in equal measure. Evenings unfold over candlelit dinners at Ammos or Isola before a nightcap at El Bar de Lola. The vibe? Effortlessly romantic, endlessly relaxed.
Who will love it: Sun-seeking newlyweds who prefer clinking glasses by the sea to cuddling under snow.
Fairmont St Andrews, Scotland
For lovers of windswept cliffs, whisky warmth, and fireside luxury.
Perched on the rugged Fife coastline, Fairmont St Andrews offers honeymooners that rare blend of wild beauty and refined indulgence. Each suite, wrapped in tartan tones and North Sea views, feels like a private retreat. Couples can spend mornings strolling the cliffs hand in hand, afternoons in the mineral-rich spa, and evenings toasting with Champagne by the fire.
A bespoke honeymoon package includes candlelit dinners, late checkouts, and Champagne breakfasts. Beyond the hotel, the medieval charm of St Andrews invites long walks, cosy pubs, and a peek into royal romance history.

The spa is otherworldly: an infinity pool that steams into the sky, a Lapland smoke sauna, and treatments delivered right to your chalet. When you finally venture outside, the slopes of Saalbach Hinterglemm beckon for skiing, snowboarding, and sleigh rides through glittering forests.
Who will love it: Couples seeking privacy, pampering, and poetic winter landscapes where the only sound is snow falling softly on pine.
Santo Mine, Santorini, Greece
For newlyweds who prefer sunsets and sea breezes to snowflakes.
Set on a cliffside above Ammoudi Bay, Santo Mine is a love letter to Mediterranean minimalism. Each suite offers panoramic views of the caldera, private plunge pools, and freestanding bathtubs carved into volcanic stone. The adults-only atmosphere keeps things blissfully serene: perfect for honeymooners who want nothing but each other (and maybe a glass of Assyrtiko wine).
Spend mornings floating in the infinity pool, afternoons in the candlelit spa, and evenings dining at Alme restaurant, where seafood and sunsets meet in a symphony of flavour and fire.
Who will love it: Sun-kissed romantics who crave luxury, privacy, and the sound of waves instead of wedding bells.
Storfjord Hotel, Norway
For couples who believe love should come with a view, and maybe a few snowflakes.
Tucked deep in the Norwegian woods, Storfjord Hotel feels like a secret you whisper rather than book. Built in traditional lafta timber, this boutique retreat combines rustic romance with Scandinavian design. Each room has its own balcony overlooking fjords and mountains, perfect for quiet mornings wrapped in wool blankets.
Honeymooners can hike through pine forests, embark on fjord cruises, or simply indulge in four-course dinners crafted from local ingredients. In winter, the world outside glows with snow while fires crackle inside.
Who will love it: Couples who trade beaches for blankets, and believe a honeymoon should feel like hibernation.
Arctic TreeHouse Hotel, Finland
For couples ready to fall asleep under the Northern Lights.

Some include private saunas or fireplaces, while the ArcticScene Executive Suite boasts its own wellness area. Couples can enjoy breakfast at the award-winning Rakas Restaurant before venturing out on husky rides or reindeer safaris.
Who will love it: Dreamers who want to wake up in bed and see the aurora without ever stepping into the cold.
