Asia/Australia/New Zealand
One&Only Reethi Rah Resort, Maldives
BRIDES says: Look up the definition of "luxe" in the dictionary and you could see a photo of this sleek, uberprivate resort in the Indian Ocean. Many of the villas come with their own infinity pools, and all of the overwater bungalows have hammocks suspended over the crystal clear lagoon — the better to take in all that tropical gorgeousness.

Cruise Line
SeaDream Yacht Club
BRIDES says: Less amusement-park-at-sea, more celeb-worthy-charter, SeaDream Yacht Club's two twin mega-yachts — SeaDream I and SeaDream II — are each outfitted with 56 luxe staterooms, including 10 suites, meaning you and your new hubs basically have the ship to yourselves. (In fact, you can have it to yourself — the line also offers private charters, perfect if a wedding at sea is your idea of heaven on earth.) Itineraries are booked on an all-inclusive basis, meaning food, drinks (including alcoholic beverages), water sports, and gratuities are included (because who wants to have to sign a bill on their honeymoon?). Whether you're headed on a Caribbean, Mediterranean, or transatlantic voyage, days at sea can be spent relaxing in the saltwater pool, screening movies in reclining loungers at night, and sleeping on-deck under the stars as you glide through the sea.

Europe
Le Sirenuse, Positano, Italy
BRIDES says: Hovering 230 feet above the sea, this 58-room gem feels more like a glamorous private estate than a hotel. As exquisite as your white-washed room is, you'll want to spend most of your time outside, either swimming in a pool surrounded by lemon trees or dining on the candlelit deck of La Sponda, a Michelin-starred restaurant with epic views of that famed Amalfi Coast. (Doubles from $367; sirenuse.it)
Hawaii
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu, Hawaii Island
BRIDES says: Want your super-luxe 'moon with a side of Hawaiian culture? This swank resort on the Kona-Kahala Coast offers fun classes in everything from hula to lei making. And if you'd rather just hang by the beach or one of six stunning pools — King's Pond, carved out of lava rocks and filled with fish and rays, is beyond Instagram-worthy — that's cool, too. (Doubles from $845; fourseasons.com)
Mexico
One&Only Palmilla, Los Cabos
BRIDES says: Fresh off a $140 million-dollar renovation, this haute property (Jennifer Aniston is a regular) is hotter than ever. Not only does it have two gorge infinity pools and one of the only swimmable beaches in Los Cabos, but every whitewashed room comes with a balcony and a jaw-dropping ocean view. (Doubles from $590; oneandonlyresorts.com)
South Pacific
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, French Polynesia
BRIDES says: Sure, the resort has some beachfront villas, but this superchic retreat is all about the overwater bungalow. Three reasons you'll never want to leave yours: 1. Your breakfast is delivered by canoe each morning. 2. If you want to swim in the ridiculously clear lagoon, all you have to do is jump from your deck. 3. You can watch fish swim by through a window in your floor. Baller. (Doubles from $1,148; fourseasons.com)
