Honeymoon Travel Advisor: How to Plan a Luxury Honeymoon With VIP Perks
Your Honeymoon Travel Advisor
Your honeymoon is the trip of a lifetime, and I want it to feel effortless, relaxing, and indulgent all the way from our first email exchange to the flight home. Let me take the work on for you, and get you exclusive access, perks, extras, and VIP treatment that you’d never get booking on your own.
Your honeymoon travel advisor
Honeymoons are my favorite trips to plan. I’ve been a luxury travel blogger for 13 years, and have helped countless clients plan incredible honeymoons all over the world.
I also know how overwhelming it is to plan a bucket-list trip of a lifetime in the middle of wedding planning. Which destination, which resort, which villa, how many stops, how to get there, how to impress and make it special every step of the way. That’s where I come in. I plan bespoke high-end honeymoons all over the world.
Or book it yourself on my private portal (password: JETSETTERS).
Two ways to work with me
Plan Your Full Honeymoon Itinerary, or Just Book the Resort
Most of my honeymoon couples have me plan the whole trip, since the flights, transfers and timing are what make a honeymoon feel effortless. If you just need the hotel, I’ll book it with the BEST VIP Perks (at no cost to you) and the best rates.

Client love
What My Honeymoon Clients Say
“It was literally the best honeymoon we could have imagined!! Every single hotel was amazing - the service, the food, the views, the people - all perfection! Every single restaurant you recommended was amazing and right up our alley. AND the transfers could not have been more flawless! Seriously not having to think/coordinate anyone picking up us, getting us through the airport, and taking us to each hotel was a game changer and made it feel like such a treat of a vacation!! Cannot thank you enough for making this our dream honeymoon! The boat day in Santorini and the cooking class in Paros were definitely some highlights but everything was fabulous!”
Kate, Greece honeymoon (Santorini, Paros and Athens)
Why book with me
How I Make Your Honeymoon Feel Special, Every Step of the Way
I work all of my connections for you.
I have strong relationships with hotels all over the world. And relationships are everything in this industry. They want to impress you as my clients! Before you arrive, I share your celebration, your preferences and your arrival time with the hotel team, and I ask for the best placement they can give you.
VIP perks at the world’s best resorts.
I have relationships with hundreds of luxury hotels, including Four Seasons, Rosewood, Belmond and One&Only.
Your flights, handled.
My Air team routes and tickets your flights and is there 24/7 if anything goes wrong, so they’re dealing with the airline, not you.
The moments you’ll remember.
A private sandbank lunch, a sunset sail, a boat that picks you up from your hotel for a day in Capri, and a photographer so you’re both in the pictures.
A real person behind your trip.
You’ll have me in your corner before, during and after your trip. I plan every honeymoon as if it were my own and I care deeply about my clients having the BEST trip of their lives.
Can’t decide where to go?
Not Sure Where to Honeymoon? I’ll Help You Choose
Half the couples who reach out to me don’t know where they want to go yet, and that’s my favorite place to start. Tell me how many days you have, what time of year you’re traveling, your budget range and the kind of trip you’re dreaming of (barefoot and remote, a little adventure, great food, or total do-nothing luxury). I’ll come back with two or three destinations that actually fit, and I’ll tell you honestly which one I’d pick for you.
A few questions I always ask: How long a flight are you up for? (Bora Bora is a much easier trip from the West Coast than the Maldives.) Do you want to stay in one place, or see a few? Is this a beach trip, a food and culture trip, or both? And what month are you going? Weather changes everything, and some places are at their best when others are in rainy season.
Start with my guide to the best honeymoon destinations for every type of couple, or read Bora Bora vs. the Maldives if you’re torn between the two.
The process
How Planning Your Honeymoon With Me Works
Tell me about your dream trip.
Send me your dates, how long you have, and what you’re dreaming of (or just the vibe, if you haven’t picked a destination yet). The form at the bottom of this page comes straight to me.
We pick your plan.
Tell me if you’d like the full itinerary or just the hotel. For full planning, you sign on and I get to work on the research, planning and coordination.
I send your drafted itinerary.
Within 2 weeks of signing on, you’ll have a drafted day-by-day itinerary with the resorts and rooms I’d book, your flights and transfers, vetted experiences and my restaurant picks. We fine-tune it together until it’s perfect.
I book it and VIP you before you land.
I send you a secure card authorization and lock in your rooms. You pay the hotel directly, so you keep your credit card points. Then I’m your direct line to every hotel team, sharing your honeymoon, your preferences and your arrival time.
Where I plan honeymoons
Honeymoon Destinations I Plan (and Where I’ve Been)
I plan honeymoons all over the world. Here are the places I know best, from the islands I’ve stayed on to the trips I plan for my couples every year. Not sure which one is right for you? Start here.
The Maldives
The ultimate overwater honeymoon
The Maldives is my favorite destination in the world. Kenny and I spent our pre-honeymoon between Six Senses Laamu and the St. Regis Vommuli, and our private sandbank afternoon is still one of my favorite travel memories. I’ll help you choose the right island, house reef and villa. See my Maldives travel advisor page.
Bora Bora
The easier overwater trip from the US
Four Seasons Bora Bora is one of my top three resorts ever, and I’ve been as a couple and come back as a family. My favorite routing is the overnight flight from LAX to Tahiti and an early connection to Bora Bora. See my Bora Bora travel advisor page.
Hawaii
Our wedding island
We got married at the Four Seasons Maui and came back for our babymoon, so Maui is personal for me. I plan one- and two-island honeymoons on Maui, Kauai, the Big Island and Lanai. See my Hawaii honeymoon travel advisor page.
Italy
Our honeymoon
Our honeymoon was 10 nights on the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Sardinia, with a boat day to Positano, La Fontelina and the Maddalena Islands. Read our 10-day Italy honeymoon itinerary or see my Italy travel advisor page.
Sardinia
Italy’s Costa Smeralda
Our honeymoon ended in Sardinia with a boat day to the Maddalena Islands, and the water there is some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. I love Belmond Romazzino on the Costa Smeralda for couples. Read my ultimate guide to Sardinia.
The Greek Isles
Santorini and beyond
Kenny and I spent nine days in Santorini, and I love pairing it with a quieter island like Paros and finishing in Athens. That’s the Greek Isles honeymoon I planned for Kate, whose review is above. Read my Santorini travel guide.
Mallorca
Mountain villages and hidden coves
I split my Mallorca trip between Four Seasons and Belmond La Residencia in Deià, and La Residencia is the one I’d splurge on for a honeymoon, even for a couple of nights. Add a boat day to the coves. Read my Mallorca travel guide.
France
Paris, Provence and the Riviera
Paris for the first few nights, then the French Riviera or Provence for slow days. I’ve spent time in Paris, Provence and Saint-Tropez, and I love pairing France with Italy for a European honeymoon. Read my Paris travel guide.
The Caribbean
Close to home, still magical
For a shorter flight, I love Belmond Cap Juluca in Anguilla, Belmond La Samanna in St. Martin, St. Barths and the BVI. Read the best resorts to honeymoon in the Caribbean.
Anguilla
Powdery sand and turquoise water
Kenny and I first visited Anguilla for our babymoon, and it’s one of the most romantic islands in the Caribbean, with powdery white sand, calm turquoise water and laid-back luxury. I love Belmond Cap Juluca, Malliouhana and Four Seasons Anguilla for couples. Read my ultimate guide to Anguilla.
St. Barths
Caribbean glamour
St. Barths is pure Caribbean glamour, with long beach lunches, chic hotels and gorgeous bays. I usually recommend a hotel for the service and amenities, or splitting the stay between a hotel and a villa, and always taking the short flight over instead of the boat. Read my St. Barths travel guide.
Mexico
Jungle treehouses and beach casitas
One&Only Mandarina is one of the most romantic places I’ve stayed, and it feels like Bali but closer. For couples who want the beach, I love Cabo and the Riviera Maya. Read my One&Only Mandarina review.
Costa Rica
Rainforest, waterfalls and Pura Vida
Costa Rica is one of the most beautifully diverse places I’ve traveled, with rainforests, waterfalls, hot springs, surfing and a carefree Pura Vida vibe. It’s perfect for couples who want a little adventure and a lot of relaxing, from Papagayo to Santa Teresa. Read my Costa Rica travel guide.
Bali
Jungle villas and clifftop sunsets
I lived in Bali for three years and still go back every year. I love splitting a Bali honeymoon between Ubud and Uluwatu, and Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is my favorite hotel on the island. Read the ultimate Bali honeymoon guide.
Indonesia
Remote islands beyond Bali
For couples who want somewhere truly remote, I add NIHI Sumba, a short flight from Bali. It’s wild and off the beaten path but completely five star, famous for its horses on the beach and its surf. Read my NIHI Sumba review.
Thailand
Limestone islands and pool villas
I’ve stayed at Six Senses Yao Noi and Trisara, two of the most romantic resorts in Thailand, with private pool villas and views of the limestone islands in the Andaman Sea. Read my 10-day Thailand luxury honeymoon itinerary.
Japan
Food, culture and temples
From the energy of Tokyo to the temples of Nikko, Japan is an incredible honeymoon for couples who love food and culture. I plan Japan with local experts so every train, transfer and dinner lines up. Read my 10-day Japan travel guide.
Africa
Safari, then the beach
A safari and beach honeymoon is one of the most romantic trips you can take: a few nights at a lodge in South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania or Botswana, then a beach to finish. I plan safaris with specialist partners on the ground, and I love adding Cape Town, with the Winelands and sunsets in Camps Bay. Read the ultimate South Africa honeymoon guide.
Australia and New Zealand
For two weeks or more
Sydney, the Great Barrier Reef, Queenstown and Waiheke Island (one of my all-time favorite places) make an unforgettable honeymoon if you have two weeks or more. I plan these with local experts so every flight and transfer lines up. Read the ultimate New Zealand travel guide.
Can’t Decide?
Let’s choose together
Tell me your dates, how long you have and what you’re dreaming of, and I’ll come back with the two or three destinations I think fit you best. Here’s how I help couples choose.
And more: Portugal and beyond. If you’re dreaming of it, ask me.
Insider tips
My Best Honeymoon Planning Tips
Start with the kind of trip you want.
Adventure, total relaxation, or food and culture. Then pick the place.
Don’t try to do too much.
One or two stops for a week, three for two weeks at most.
Tell the hotel it’s your honeymoon.
I do it for every couple I book.
Book a photographer.
You’ll want photos of the two of you together.
Arrive early and leave late.
And build in a day for jet lag on long-haul trips.
Budget for the extras.
Food and drinks on a private-island resort add up fast, so half board is often worth it.
Leave room for doing nothing.
The unplanned days are often the best ones.
Book early.
The best villas and overwater bungalows go first, especially in peak season.

Questions
Honeymoon Travel Advisor FAQs
Do I need a travel agent for my honeymoon?
You don’t need one, but a honeymoon is the trip where an advisor helps most. You’re planning it in the middle of planning a wedding, it’s often far from home, and the details matter. I find the right destination and resort, handle the flights and transfers, and tell every hotel it’s your honeymoon. Booking with me also adds perks like daily breakfast, a resort credit and an upgrade when available, at no extra cost.
How much does a honeymoon travel advisor cost?
Booking your hotels with me is complimentary. There is no fee and no markup, and you pay the same rate as booking direct (or better), with the perks on top. Full itinerary planning is available for a planning fee. Inquire for details.
Can you help us decide where to honeymoon?
Yes! This is one of my favorite parts. Tell me your dates, how long you have, your budget range and the kind of trip you’re dreaming of, and I’ll come back with a few destinations that fit and tell you which one I’d pick.
What does a honeymoon travel advisor actually do?
I help you choose the destination and resorts, book your hotels with VIP perks, route your flights through my Air team, arrange private transfers, vet activities and recommend restaurants catered to your tastes, then build it all into a day-by-day itinerary. Before you arrive, I let every hotel know it’s your honeymoon.
How far in advance should we plan our honeymoon?
Ideally six to twelve months out, especially for overwater villas in the Maldives and Bora Bora or peak summer in Italy and the Greek Isles, since the best rooms go first. I can also plan on a shorter timeline, so reach out either way.
Can you plan a multi-destination honeymoon?
Absolutely. Some of my favorite honeymoons pair two places, like Bali and NIHI Sumba, Paris and the Amalfi Coast, a safari and a beach, or the Greek Isles and Athens. I’ll help you keep it to a pace that still feels relaxing.
Do we keep our credit card points?
Yes. You pay the hotel directly, so you earn your card points as usual. If you’re using points, I usually recommend putting them toward flights.
Can you add perks to a honeymoon resort we already booked?
Sometimes - it’s always worth a shot to add on the perks! But it’s always better to loop me in before booking for the best rates and VIP perks.
What are the best honeymoon destinations?
It depends on your dates and your style, but my favorites are the Maldives, Bora Bora, Maui, the Amalfi Coast, the Greek Isles and Bali. Read my guide to the best honeymoon destinations for every type of couple, or reach out and I’ll help you choose.
