When it comes to honeymoons, today’s couples are looking for more than romance—they’re looking for the shot. A new study by luxury travel agency The Resorts Collection reveals which destinations are stealing the spotlight on Instagram, and the results will have you packing your bags (and your best camera filter).

💕 Paris: The City of Love Still Charms
No list of romantic getaways would be complete without Paris, which claims third place with 21,411 hashtags. From candlelit dinners under the Eiffel Tower to strolls along the Seine, Paris proves that old-school romance never goes out of style.

📸 Why Instagram Is Changing Honeymoons
Florian Pauly, co-founder of The Resorts Collection, notes that social media has completely reshaped how couples plan their getaways.
“Many now choose locations based on their Instagram appeal rather than traditional factors like distance or cost. The perfect sunset shot in Santorini or an overwater bungalow in the Maldives has become part of the modern honeymoon experience.”
So whether you’re planning your own romantic escape or just daydreaming through the hashtag feed, one thing’s clear—these destinations aren’t just beautiful in person, they’re made to be shared.
