For lovers of elegance, sunshine, ocean views and exceptional food, there may be no more perfect honeymoon destination than Positano. Its waters are bright blue, its beaches are lined with colourful parasols, its architecture is charmingly traditional, and it has a rainbow of gelato flavours. The town, and the Amalfi Coast in general, is known for being glamorous, with excellent food, beautiful boutiques, and really wonderful hotels, perfect for honeymooners. It has plenty of very romantic hotels: converted from grand and historic palazzos, alongside more traditional Mediterranean hotels; there are even a very decent list of romantic guesthouses and B&Bs. Some of the most obvious honeymoon hotels are adults only, however there are plenty that welcome families, but manage to keep the atmosphere peaceful and intimate. Our very favourite honeymoon hotels have wonderful water views, many from private terraces — some even have private pools or hot tubs. Peruse our list and start planning your holiday to remember!
