Honeymoons in the Mountains - Elevated Romance with Virgin Limited Edition
For couples who believe romance is best found above the clouds, a mountain honeymoon offers something profoundly special: crisp air, cinematic views, and a sense of being wonderfully removed from the everyday. From rugged peaks to vineyard-draped slopes, Virgin Limited Edition’s mountain retreats are places where time slows, nature takes centre stage, and love feels limitless.
Whether you’re dreaming of sun-drenched Mediterranean heights, North African drama, Alpine elegance, or South African wine country, these four extraordinary retreats redefine what a honeymoon in the mountains can be.
Son Bunyola: Mediterranean romance in the Tramuntana Mountains, Mallorca
Hidden within an 810-acre UNESCO World Heritage estate, Son Bunyola Hotel & Villas sits where the wild beauty of the Tramuntana Mountains meets the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. Ancient olive groves, terraced hillsides and spectacular 360-degree views create a setting that feels both intimate and timeless.
Honeymoon days unfold at an unhurried pace, from morning swims overlooking the coastline to leisurely lunches scented with citrus and herbs. Afternoons are spent exploring cobbled villages, discovering secluded coves below, or setting out on the many trails that wind through the Tramuntana Mountains. As the sun sets, the landscape glows amber, providing a magical backdrop for private dinners under the stars.
Why it’s perfect for honeymoons:
- Secluded villas, elegant rooms, and suites at Son Bunyola Hotel, rich in Mallorcan heritage
- Mountain tranquillity paired with sweeping Mediterranean Sea views
- A relaxed, sun-soaked rhythm ideal for reconnecting
Kasbah Tamadot: Atlas Mountain magic, Morocco
Perched high in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, Kasbah Tamadot feels like a dream woven from colour, craftsmanship and culture. With panoramic views over dramatic peaks and traditional Berber villages, this retreat offers a honeymoon rich in sensory experiences.
Days can be as adventurous or indulgent as you wish: guided hikes through the mountains, simply unwinding by the pool with mint tea in hand or indulging in spa and traditional hammam treatments, designed to soothe and restore. Evenings bring candlelit terraces, glowing lanterns, cuisine inspired by Moroccan flavours and cosy cinema nights under the stars.
Why it’s perfect for honeymoons:
- A deeply romantic setting far from the ordinary
- Private riads and tents designed for seclusion
