From the Maldives to Bintan: 4 Club Med Honeymoon Destinations for Every Kind of Couple
Quick Jumplinks to Navigate
A honeymoon should not come with a spreadsheet. Yet for many newlyweds, the first holiday together ends up full of small decisions: which restaurant to book, whether to pay for the sunset cruise, how much to budget for drinks each evening. Club Med’s all inclusive format removes most of that. One upfront price covers accommodation, meals, drinks, and a wide range of activities, leaving couples free to focus on each other instead of the bill.
Club Med operates 70 plus resorts across the world, and each built around a distinct idea of romance. Some are about quiet, secluded nature. Others are about lively beaches and evening energy. This guide explores four Club Med resorts, Kani in the Maldives, Seychelles, Phuket, and Bintan, and which kind of couple each one suits best.
Club Med Kani, Maldives: For Couples Who Want Classic Island Glamour
If a honeymoon picture in your head involves overwater villas, turquoise lagoons, and a private island, Club Med Kani is built for exactly that. Set on its own island in the Maldives, the resort combines water sports, a spa, fine dining, and a lively nightly entertainment programme.
For couples, Kani also offers premium overwater suites with direct lagoon access, giving a more private and luxurious stay experience within the resort. It is consistently ranked among the top all-inclusive resorts in the Maldives and has long appeal for honeymooners and anniversary travellers.
For Indian couples, Kani has the added advantage of proximity, with direct flights from major Indian cities to Male making it one of the more accessible Maldives options.
Club Med Seychelles: For Couples Who Want Secluded, Nature Led Romance
Located within the protected Sainte Anne Marine National Park, Club Med Seychelles offers a more intimate, nature focused alternative to the Maldives. The setting combines secluded beaches, lush tropical hills, and turquoise waters, with wellness experiences and gourmet dining built into the all-inclusive package.
This is the resort for couples who want their honeymoon to feel like a retreat rather than a resort holiday, somewhere the focus is on the surroundings as much as the amenities. The combination of natural beauty and all-inclusive convenience makes it a strong option for honeymooners who want both relaxation and a sense of adventure.
Club Med Phuket: For Couples Who Want a Lively Beach Town With Newlywed Touches
Phuket is a different kind of honeymoon altogether. Club Med Phuket sits close to Kata Beach, one of the busier and more popular beaches on the island, and is positioned for couples who want their downtime balanced with energy in the evenings, from beach bars to the wider nightlife Phuket is known for.
What also makes Phuket worth flagging for newlyweds is that, like Kani, Seychelles, and Bintan, it is part of Club Med’s official honeymoon package. Couples presenting their marriage certificate at booking and check in, valid within 12 months of the wedding date, can access a complimentary champagne or wine welcome, with a non alcoholic option available on request.
Beyond the resort, Phuket also gives couples easy access to day trips, including excursions to the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay, for those who want to combine resort time with a bit of exploring.
Club Med Bintan: For Couples Who Want a Calm, Wellness Focused Escape
Bintan is the quietest of the four, and that is exactly its appeal. Set on a private beach along the South China Sea on Bintan Island, Indonesia, Club Med Bintan is built around wellness, with beachside yoga, a day spa, and a calmer island pace overall. It is just a short ferry ride from Singapore, making it an easy short haul option for couples who want a few days of genuine slowing down without a long flight.
For honeymooners who prefer mornings of yoga and quiet beach walks over busy entertainment schedules, Bintan offers a more low key version of the Club Med experience, while still including the resort’s signature all-inclusive dining and activities.
Which One Is Right for Your Honeymoon?
Each of these resorts works for a different kind of couple. Kani suits those who want the Maldives at its most iconic, overwater villas and island glamour. Seychelles suits couples drawn to nature and seclusion. Phuket suits those who want a livelier setting with a touch of newlywed celebration built in. Bintan suits couples looking for a short, calm, wellness-led escape close to Singapore.
Across all four, the underlying value is the same. With everything from meals to activities included in one price, couples can spend their honeymoon making memories rather than decisions. All four resorts in this guide are also part of Club Med’s official honeymoon package, so couples on any of these stays can access this welcome touch with proof of their marriage certificate.
For Indian travellers, Club Med Kani, The Finolhu Villas, Club Med Seychelles, and Club Med Bali are currently available to book through Thrillophilia, with the added benefit of local support and the ability to combine the stay with flights and transfers.
