The Best Resorts for a Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Combo

A growing number of couples are turning their honeymoons into “double features” pairing their wedding destination with an easy, romantic, and adventure-filled second stop for their honeymoon. And with Marriott properties around the world, it’s never been easier to plan a wedding and honeymoon that feel seamlessly connected.

Whether you’re saying “I do” in a European vineyard, on a Caribbean beach, or in a vibrant city, these Marriott stays make it simple to keep the celebration going with a second dreamy destination just a short flight or train ride away.

Here are the best Marriott resorts for two-destination locations, with perfectly paired itinerary ideas to make the most of your newlywed adventure.

1. The Ritz-Carlton – Canary Islands → Lisbon, Portugal

If you’re dreaming of a sun-drenched island wedding, Tenerife offers volcanic coastline views, gold-pink sunsets, and unbelievably romantic backdrops. After the ceremony, hop over to Portugal for a second chapter of wine tastings, coastal tram rides, and European charm.

Why this pairing works:

Direct flights make island-to-city travel effortless
A mix of beach luxury + cultural exploration
Great for couples who want both relaxation and adventure

Why couples love The Ritz-Carlton, Abama:

Cliffside infinity pool + private beach club
Moorish-inspired suites with ocean views
Michelin-star dining on-site

2. JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa – Italy → Vienna or Prague

A destination wedding in Venice feels like stepping into a painting—historic architecture, candlelit canals, and an ultra-romantic mood. But after the celebrations, a multi-day trip to Vienna or Prague adds a new layer of European elegance.

Why this pairing works:

Short, scenic flights or easy rail connections
Perfect for couples who love art, architecture, and classical romance
Both destinations offer walkable city centers ideal for honeymoon strolls

Why couples love JW Marriott Venice:

Set on a private island for dreamy, exclusive vibes
Rooftop pool overlooking Venice’s skyline
Award-winning spa for post-wedding decompressing

3. W Algarve – Portugal → Marrakech, Morocco

For destination weddings with cinematic cliffs, soft beaches, and trendy Mediterranean flair, the Algarve delivers. Then take your honeymoon into an entirely new world—Marrakech—for souks, rooftop dinners, desert sunsets, and spa culture.

Why this pairing works:

Quick flight across the Strait of Gibraltar
A unique blend of coastal Europe + North African romance
Incredible photography moments in both destinations

Why couples love W Algarve:

Iconic cliffside views
Stylish suites with soaking tubs and terraces
Steps from beaches, cafes, and coastal hikes

4. The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort – Mexico → Baja California or San Miguel de Allende

A Punta Mita wedding offers private-island energy without leaving Mexico—white sand, dramatic sunsets, and a polished, luxurious setting. For the honeymoon, head to Baja for boutique wineries and seaside relaxation, or to San Miguel for culture, cobblestones, and artisan markets.
