Orlando is more than a theme park destination — it’s a vibrant city where your honeymoon can be as unique as you are. From the best honeymoon hotels to authentic experiences and exclusive honeymoon packages, your Orlando honeymoon starts with connection, adventure, and a truly memorable stay.
Best honeymoon resorts and suites
Imagine unwinding in a whirlpool tub, savoring room service on a private balcony, and then waking up to spa treatments just steps from your elegant and spacious honeymoon suite. At Waldorf Astoria Orlando and Hilton Orlando, you’ll be able to experience all that and more.
As an official Walt Disney World® Hotel, Waldorf Astoria Orlando balances the perfect blend of sophisticated amenities and exclusive access to the theme parks. Plus, newlyweds can relax in a private poolside cabana, play a round of golf, or indulge in a spa treatment. Meanwhile, Hilton Orlando is an official partner of Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld® Orlando and offers a complete resort experience. Not only can you host your wedding in one of the elegant ballrooms or at the outdoor Promenade, but, after you say “I do,” you can lounge at the hotel’s pools, lazy river, private cabanas, multiple restaurants, and get a couples massage.
Plus, Hilton Honors Members can enjoy special discounts and offers like double points or Honors Discount Advance Purchase, making your honeymoon feel extra special. With prime locations near Orlando’s cultural neighborhoods, parks, and nightlife, your honeymoon is always close to the action.
Romantic experiences beyond the theme parks
Orlando offers a number of romantic experiences for couples who want to get away from the theme park crowds and focus on each other. For a truly unforgettable sunrise, book a hot air balloon ride and float above the Florida landscape, taking in panoramic views of iconic landmarks, lakes, and orange groves. You can also explore more by water with a guided kayak tour of the scenic Winter Park Chain of Lakes or take a private sunset sail on Lake Fairview. For a more hands-on experience, try a pottery class, cooking class, or even a mixology class.
Explore like a local
Connect with a different side of Orlando away from the crowds and wander through the city’s neighborhood gems. Head to Lake Eola where you can rent a pedal-powered swan boat for an idyllic afternoon on the water or meander the Orlando Farmers Market on Sundays — plus, the Walt Disney Amphitheater at the park serves as a stage for concerts, movies, and plays throughout the year. East of Lake Eola is Thornton Park, a sophisticated neighborhood with European charm. The brick-lined streets, independent boutiques, and sidewalk cafés make it the perfect spot for an evening stroll and a romantic dinner. Just north of Orlando’s downtown is Mills 50, a vibrant district known for its eclectic blend of cultures, colorful street art, cutting-edge cuisine, and electric nightlife with live music venues. No matter your interests, there are plenty of ways to experience authentic Orlando culture.
Day trips from Orlando
Your Orlando honeymoon is the perfect opportunity to discover more of central Florida. Just a short drive outside the city, you can get lost in the old-world charm of St. Augustine. The city’s Spanish architecture, cobblestone streets, and intimate courtyard restaurants create a magical, old-world atmosphere perfect for a honeymoon. For a touch of tranquil luxury, stroll the boutique-lined avenues of Winter Park, a sophisticated oasis with serene lakeside gardens and high-end art galleries. For a secluded escape, Wekiwa Springs State Park is a local favorite. You can rent a tandem kayak or canoe and paddle through the crystal-clear spring, which stays a refreshing 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) year-round. To truly escape, sink your toes into the sand at New Smyrna Beach, which offers a famously uncrowded shoreline and an artsy, bohemian vibe. Wherever you roam, Orlando is the perfect base for easy day trips filled with local color.
