Reach a state of total relaxation on your honeymoon in Puerto Rico. This Caribbean paradise is the perfect destination for newlyweds who want to spend time enjoying life’s simple pleasures together, from the beach chair to the massage table to the yoga mat.

Soak Up the Sun

On your honeymoon, the most stressful decision of the day should be whether to lounge on the beach or by the pool. Happily, Puerto Rico offers plenty of stellar options for both. At resorts like the swanky Fairmont El San Juan Hotel and the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Puerto Rico Golf & Beach Resort, you can sink into a chaise lounge at one of several Instagram-worthy on-site pools or put your toes in the sand along the coast. Elsewhere on property, these high-end accommodations feature everything you and your love need for a carefree honeymoon, from five-star dining to state-of-the-art fitness studios.
