India Honeymoons

From the hilltop fortresses and fairytale palaces of Rajasthan in the north, to the scenic hill stations, tranquil backwaters and stunning beaches of Kerala in the south, India is a magical honeymoon destination.

The country emits a passionate energy, with romantic experiences to be found in every region. Visit the iconic Taj Mahal, a monument of eternal love, and explore Udaipur, the most dreamy city in the country with beautiful mansions and gardens, intricate temples and grand palaces overlooking the shimmering lakes. 

Take to the water in Kerala and enjoy a cruise on the picturesque backwaters on a luxury houseboat, or take a boat ride at sunrise on the sacred Ganges River to soak up one of the most incredible sights in India. 

Intrepid adventurers will love tracking Bengal tigers in the dense jungle of Bandhavgarh National Park, and spotting leopards and other fascinating wildlife in Rajasthan’s Jawai Hills, or you can hike the emerald hills and tea plantations of Munnar.

Roam the sandstone city of Jaisalmer, rising majestically from the sand dunes of the Rajasthan Desert, discover the erotic temples of Khajuraho, or visit the famous Sri Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, where you can witness the nightly wedding ritual of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

You'll combine these exciting experiences with stays at romantic retreats and luxury boutique hotels, from historic havelis (mansions) to the royal palaces and forts of the Maharajas.

Your Wayfairer tailor-made honeymoon could even feature a night or two at some of India’s most famous properties, including the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur and the luxurious Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra, with spectacular views of the famous Taj Mahal from every room. 

Located on the island of Jag Niwas in the heart of Lake Pichola, the Taj Lake Palace is one of the world's most romantic hotels. This heritage hotel is a former royal residence dating back to the 18th century and honeymooners will be treated like royalty.

During a stay at Oberoi Amarvilas, couples will enjoy candelit dinners on their private balcony with views over the Taj Mahal, rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages in the couples treatment rooms with uninterrupted views of the Taj, and privately guided sunrise and sunset tours of the Taj, an exquisite testimony to everlasting love.
