Set among rice paddies and lush jungle, the Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai offers a luxurious and romantic escape that's perfect for a honeymoon. The resort blends Northern Thai style with modern comforts, from a world-class spa and wellness programme – including yoga, breathwork, Reiki and crystal sound healing – to immersive activities like Thai cooking classes and bike rides through the Mae Rim Valley

If you'd rather leave the planning to someone else, the concierge can arrange a curated couples' itinerary. It includes everything from aqua workouts and cultural experiences like tie-dye, rice planting and candle making, to wellness rituals such as revitalising baths, Thai herbal compresses or a traditional herbal steam.

History, elegance and romance come together at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, a stunning Italian villa perched on the edge of
Lake Como . A favourite of high society for over a century, this iconic hotel invites you to live like modern-day aristocrats as you wander its opulent grounds hand in hand. Lounge by one of the swimming pools – including one that floats on the lake – book a couple's treatment at the spa, or challenge each other to a match on the tennis courts.

Feeling adventurous? Take a self-drive boat across the lake, sip your way through the vineyards of Valtellina, or master the art of pizza-making by tossing dough like a true pizzaiolo. It's little wonder this jewel of Como draws celebrities: locals
George and Amal Clooney have been known to drop by, as have famous former flames
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
