The Berlin Beauty
Overlooking storied Potsdamer Platz and close to the city’s malls, museums and other key attractions, The Ritz-Carlton, Berlin — with its art deco interiors and Curtain Club (perfect for a pre-ceremony bachelor party) — is a destination-wedding dream.
Icing on the cake: The hotel’s dedicated bridal team, including wedding advisers and a culinary team, will help you plan every detail of your (very) special day.
The Seychelles Island Paradise
For a picture-perfect wedding in a private-island paradise with powder-white beaches lapped by pristine turquoise seas, there’s no better spot than North Island, a Luxury Collection Resort, Seychelles.
Whisked to the resort from the archipelago’s capital, Victoria, by private helicopter, loved-up couples can kick back in North Island’s spa, La Vie by Goldhands; enjoy a candlelit dinner in one of the resort’s restaurants; or indulge in a private dining experience before taking part in their magical beachfront wedding ceremony.
The French Riviera Charmer
A long-favored stomping ground of celebrities and well-heeled vacationers, the French Riviera is synonymous with exceptional experiences. So what better place to tie the knot than the sun-dazzled Cote d’Azur?
Overlooking Cap d’Ail Marina, Riviera Marriott Hotel La Porte de Monaco — with its dedicated culinary and events teams and ballroom that can host up to 400 guests — is also just a stone’s throw from Monaco, where actress Grace Kelly met her real-life Prince Charming, Rainier III, back in 1955. It hardly gets more romantic than this.
The Dubai Dazzler
For a sophisticated wedding surrounded by world-class shopping and some of the world’s most-glittering attractions, W Dubai – The Palm can’t be beat.
This stylish resort with restaurants helmed by Michelin-starred chefs lays claim to one of the City of Gold’s largest event spaces. Plus, the resort’s cabana-studded WET Deck and sparkling swimming pool overlooking a golden strip of beach are perfect for hanging out pre- and post-nuptials.
The Turkish Delight
From mouthwatering culinary creations by Peruvian celebrity chef Diego Muñoz to a breathtakingly scenic infinity pool and stylish beach club, The Bodrum EDITION on the dazzling Turkish Riviera guarantees the perfect wedding reception, which can be enjoyed in the resort’s stunning outdoor spaces and event venues.
A tranquil and relaxing spa, as well as suites and villas with private plunge pools are perfect havens for unwinding after tying the knot.
The Abu Dhabi Glamour Haven
With a skilled “Wed Your Way” team on hand to take care of everything from menus to floral arrangements, twin-towered The St. Regis Abu Dhabi resort overlooking its own perfect strip of sand also has multiple restaurants and one of the city’s hippest beach clubs.
Add the world’s highest suspended suite and a glitzy ballroom — complete with handcrafted ceilings, glittering crystal chandeliers and a designated bridal suite — to the list of swoonworthy superlatives and you’ll understand why this glamorous resort is the perfect spot for that exclusive couture wedding you’ve always dreamed of.
The Austrian Scene Stealer
Surrounded by Old Town Salzburg’s romantic cobblestone streets and stunning scenery (the backdrop for the classic love story “The Sound of Music”), the six-centuries-old Hotel Goldener Hirsch, a Luxury Collection Hotel, with its antique decor and storied allure, was seemingly made to host fairy-tale weddings.
A short stroll from the registry office in Salzburg Mirabell Palace — and a stone’s throw from Mozart’s birthplace — this luxurious, rustic-chic hotel also features a cozy wood-paneled restaurant tucked into a historic space that dates back more than 250 years.
