Honeymoon Destination: Amalfi Coast

On a small peninsula just south of Naples sits an idyllic Italian cluster of towns and coastline known as the Amalfi Coast. The seaside paradise is home to some of the world´s most picturesque villages including Positano and Procida, where newlywed couples can escape to a fantasyland of world-class wine and food among a heavenly backdrop.

Couples who seek to truly get away can take a daytrip to the island of Capri or saunter down to the Blue Grotto (Grotto Azzurra) for a romantic dusk swim. Active honeymooners will adore the hiking opportunities along the Amalfi Coast. Simply navigating the villages requires a semblance of stamina as the hills can range from a slight incline to extremely steep. Hire a boat or join a boat cruise to view the coast from the sea while sipping limoncello, and sleep away the afternoon on Laurito Beach.

Reward yourself after a hard day’s work with a couples massage and a heaping bowl of pasta at the Monastero Santa Rosa, a 17th-century cliffside monastery converted into a hotel and spa.

You and your new loved one will never become tired of the stunning sunsets over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the friendly Italian hospitality. With both water pursuits and mountainous terrain, there is something for both lovebirds during an Amalfi Coast honeymoon.
