A Cycladic hamlet painted entirely in white lime, a Breton castle nestled on the shore of a lake, an Art Deco villa overlooking the Baie des Anges. From a granite cove in Sardinia to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, here are 13 Hotels for Planning Your Wedding, places where the venue itself is already half the fun, and where people come to hold their ceremonies just as much as they come to settle in.
7Pines Resort Sardinia: A Beachfront Resort for Your Wedding in Sardinia
Wind-sculpted rocks, umbrella pines, water shifting from turquoise to inky black: on the shores of Sardinia, 7Pines Resort Sardinia stretches across 15 hectares of coastline in Baja Sardinia, ten minutes from Porto Cervo and the Costa Smeralda, facing the La Maddalena Marine Protected Area. The 75 rooms and suites are spread across three areas—Sea View, Laguna, and Garden—ranging from Deluxe rooms to Signature Suites measuring 36 to 68 m², each with private terraces and jacuzzis as an added bonus. Say “I do” with your feet practically in the water: a main beach, four secluded coves, and a beach club—the Cone Club—connected to the sea by its own pier. On the dining front, Capogiro has earned a Michelin star and two forks from Gambero Rosso on its panoramic terrace; Spazio entrusts its pizzas to Franco Pepe; and Pasquale D’Ambrosio serves as executive chef. The Pure Seven Spa features five treatment rooms, a sauna, a hammam, and an ice room for the morning after a night of celebration. Receptions just steps from the sand, two rooms opening onto the terrace, and a sunset over the islands as the backdrop: 7Pines Sardinia ranks among the most beautiful hotels for hosting a wedding in Sardinia, and is one of the most desirable destinations in the Mediterranean for a waterfront celebration.

The Palais de la Méditerranée: a luxury Art Deco hotel overlooking the Baie des Anges
Two sea horses standing on either side of a setting sun: the coat of arms carved into the Art Deco façade of the Palais de la Méditerranée has watched over the Promenade des Anglais since 1929, when Frank Jay Gould’s casino (Gould, the American said to have inspired Fitzgerald’s Gatsby) was the talk of the Riviera. The façade, listed as a Historic Monument and designated as 20th-Century Heritage, is now homea 5-star luxury hotel part of the Unbound by Hyatt collection, whose interior designer, Linda Boronkay, redesigned the 145 rooms and 28 suites in 2026 with pastel curves and seashell mosaics, evoking the Roaring Twenties. Almost all the rooms (95 %) open onto a terrace. On the top floor, the Penthouse Suite spans 117 m² and features a 67 m² terrace overlooking the bay. For the ceremony, the suspended panoramic terrace frames the sea on one side and the old town on the other, while the double pool and the 400-square-meter wellness area keep guests entertained. Dinner takes place at Zouzou—named after the film in which Josephine Baker played her first speaking role—where Chef Sébastien Roux reinvents deviled eggs with lobster oil and socca with caviar; on the walls, an art gallery born from a partnership with Almine Rech. Ideally located overlooking the deep blue sea, it’s our favorite hotel in Nice for hosting a wedding on the French Riviera.

From the 19th floor, the entire city spreads out below the Maymanta’s floor-to-ceiling windows: in the residential neighborhood of Pedralbes, the Grand Hyatt Barcelona breathed new life in 2024 into the former Hotel Princesa Sofía, one of the city’s first skyscrapers.

After dinner, head to Zuu, a club with the feel of a Parisian cabaret tucked away in the basement, or unwind at the Oasis Spa by Natura Bissé—the brand’s first in the world—surrounded by a 75 m² pool. Chic, high-rise, and spectacular, the Grand Hyatt Barcelona stands out as one of the most beautiful venues for hosting a wedding in Barcelona.

Zoëtry Mallorca: A Historic and Gastronomic Estate Near Palma
In the countryside around Llucmajor, in southeastern Mallorca, a 14th-century estate is home to a neo-Gothic chapel, an old mill, and a grand courtyard: Zoëtry Mallorca is housed in the historic Sa Torre manor, 15 minutes from Palma Airport. Exclusively for adults and featuring an “Endless Privileges” all-inclusive package, this 5-star property in the Hyatt Inclusive Collection offers 104 rooms and suites spread across two hamlets, Tramuntana and Ponent, surrounded by gardens, olive groves, and fields. Couples can exchange vows in the La Gran Cristiana chapel, around the El Molino mill, or under the garden arbor, followed by a banquet under the vaulted ceilings of the Ses Bóvedes hall, which seats up to 120 guests, or in the grand Gaspar de Villalonga ballroom, which accommodates 200, not to mention a permanent tent to protect against the weather. The dining experience sets the bar high: at the Andreu Genestra restaurant, which holds one Michelin star and one green star, the chef sources ingredients from his 2,500 m² vegetable garden and vineyards, and the property was named the best gourmet hotel by Condé Nast Traveler in 2024.

Located on the Al Maaden golf resort, 15 minutes from both the medina and the airport, the Park Hyatt Marrakech features 130 guest rooms and suites (ranging from 55 to 350 m²) spread across 7.5 hectares, laid out like 16 douars—these ochre-colored villages centered around zellige-tiled patios. A monumental gate made of Calacatta marble sets the tone; inside, interior designer Imaad Rahmouni blends white Italian marble, black Khénifra marble, and pink Saharan marble, while a collection of 700 contemporary artworks—curated in collaboration with the Ifitry artist residency—lines the corridors. Weddings here take place amidst three outdoor pools (including a 47-meter pool), terraces shaded by bougainvillea, and private access to the 18-hole golf course designed by Kyle Phillips, with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains on the horizon. Dinner takes place at the arabesque-style TFAYA brasserie, where Marrakech-based chef Issam Rhachi elevates lobster méchoui and tagine to the level of haute cuisine, or at Le Pavillon, which blends Mediterranean and Nikkei flavors.

Domaine Les Crayères: a Relais & Châteaux estate set in a park in Reims
Seven hectares of enclosed grounds right in the heart of the city: Domaine Les Crayères embodies the paradox of a country château situated just minutes from the great Champagne houses, with century-old cedar trees on one side and the bustling city of Reims on the other. Formerly the home of the Polignac family, now owned by the Gardinier family and a member of Relais & Châteaux, this 5-star property features 20 rooms and suites in pure classic French style. Couples exchange vows under the trees in the park before enjoying an aperitif on the terrace, and they can reserve the entire estate or the Salon Polignac—with its rooftop and bar—for their reception. The dining experience takes care of the rest: at the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Le Parc, Chef Christophe Moret crafts cuisine of the highest precision, complemented by a dizzying selection of champagnes from the cellar. The brasserie Le Jardin, awarded a Bib Gourmand, serves a more casual menu. By the end of 2026, a 750-square-meter spa designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon will feature swimming pools, a sauna, and a hammam opening onto the garden. Just 45 minutes from Paris by TGV, with a concierge service that organizes cruises on the Marne and hot-air balloon rides, Les Crayères ranks among the most beautiful 5-star hotels in Reims and all of Champagne—the luxury destination to host a reception in the land of bubbles.

Domaine de la Bretesche: 5-star castle hotel, golf course, and forest in Brière
As you pass through the wrought-iron gates, the sound of footsteps echoes across the cobblestone courtyard, and the 15th-century castle comes into view, reflected in its lake: at the gateway to Brittany, in Missillac, the Domaine de la Bretesche stretches across 200 hectares of forests and ponds, 35 minutes from La Baule and 2 hours from Paris by TGV. The flagship property of the family-owned B Signature group, this 5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel—certified by Clef Verte—features 40 boudoir-style rooms (including nine villas in the former sheepfold) and 13 cottages tucked away in the woods, redesigned by architect and interior designer Stéphanie Decurey in collaboration with Pierre Frey, Ligne Roset, and Dedar. Surrounding the property, an 18-hole, par-72 golf course winds through 6,015 meters of fairways facing the castle’s towers—one of France’s most beautiful courses for a weekend in the countryside. Seven versatile event spaces, housed in the former washhouse, host weddings and banquets. The ceremony takes place between the lake, the permaculture vegetable garden, and the 400-square-meter La Cour Carrée spa with its 14-meter heated pool designed by Cinq Mondes. In the evening, the restaurant sets up tables in front of the illuminated castle, followed by a nightcap at the Bar des Écuries, housed in the former horse stalls. Whether for a romantic getaway or to say “I do,” La Bretesche remains one of the Most beautiful hotels in Brittany.

La Maison 20 Degrés Sud: an intimate boutique hotel on the Grand Baie lagoon
Behind a heavy oak door, an old coconut grove stretches down to the lagoon: at the northern tip of Mauritius, off the coast of Grand Baie, La Maison 20 Degrés Sud cultivates the art of intimacy. Reserved for adults and the island’s only Relais & Châteaux property, this boutique hotel on Pointe Malartic features just 36 rooms—including six suites and one villa—two pools heated to 28°C, and a small beach facing the northern islets, with Coin de Mire at the forefront. Guests come here for a wedding for two or a very small group, far from large resorts: to exchange vows on the dock, then set sail at sunset aboard the Lady Lisbeth—the island’s oldest motorboat—for a wedding dinner on the water. The gourmet restaurant L’Atlas and its wine cellar extend the evening; the spa—the only Relais & Châteaux spa in the Mascarene Islands—pamper the newlyweds; and a convertible Mini Moke awaits in the morning to whisk you off to explore the north. With a water sports center, a canoe shuttle to Grand Baie, and a zero-single-use-plastic policy—discreet and on a human scale—20 Degrés Sud ranks among the most beautiful hotels in Mauritius for those dreaming of an intimate “I do,” with their feet in the lagoon.

Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni: a historic villa at the tip of Bellagio
At the tip of Bellagio, where Lake Como splits into two branches, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni has overlooked its flower-filled gardens—which slope down to the water—since 1873. A 5-star neoclassical palace—with a canary-yellow façade, marble staircases, and chandeliers hanging from frescoed ceilings—the villa has hosted Churchill and several royalty, and hosts only one wedding per day, ensuring undivided attention. Couples say “I do” in the grand salon or in the garden, with the panoramic view as a backdrop, before enjoying an aperitif on the terrace of the Mistral restaurant, whose wine cellar houses over 400 varieties and where dinner is accompanied by live music. From April to November, amid spring azaleas and sunsets over the lake, it’s hard to imagine a more romantic setting for an Italian wedding.

Reschio: a restored medieval castle, between Umbria and Tuscany
A thousand-year-old castle perched on a ridge, with 1,500 hectares of rolling hills all to itself: between Umbria and Tuscany, Reschio stands where the 10th-century fortress once watched over the valley. Over the course of three decades, the Bolza family has brought the estate back to life, and architect Benedikt Bolza designs everything down to the doorknobs in his studio at La Tabaccaia. The castle features 36 rooms and suites, while nine restored farmhouses are scattered throughout the countryside to accommodate the entire wedding party for several days. Celebrations take place in the inner courtyard, beneath the arcades, amid organic olive groves and Andalusian horses; the former wine cellar, now a spa, conceals a saltwater pool where guests can float beneath the vaulted ceilings. For a leisurely wedding getaway, here you’ll embrace the rhythm of a fairytale Italy—grape harvests, truffles, and treasure hunts included.

This is Richard Branson’s first European hotel: located on the northwest coast of Mallorca, within the UNESCO-designated Serra de Tramuntana, Son Bunyola is housed in a 16th-century finca that the Virgin founder spent more than 20 years restoring to life.

Couples exchange vows in the gardens, with the Tramuntana Mountains as a backdrop, in front of up to 60 guests, before dining at Sa Terrassa, a table set in the former oil press overlooking the Mediterranean. Exclusively reserved for the occasion, the estate offers a rare blend of olive groves and mountain peaks, just 45 minutes from Palma.

Kalesma, Mykonos: a whitewashed Cycladic village facing Delos
Kalesma means «invitation» in Greek—a name that says it all. Perched on a hill in Aleomandra, southwest of Mykonos, facing the sacred island of Delos, this whitewashed hamlet captures both the sunrise and the sunset. With rounded walls, chestnut ceilings, and Cycladic-style suites and villas—each featuring its own private heated pool—the place feels more like a village than a resort. A private chapel hosts intimate ceremonies, and the entire property can be reserved for an open-air wedding. In the evening, enjoy an aperitif at the Aloni Sunset Lounge, gathered around the fire with Delos on the horizon, before dining on dishes crafted by Costas Tsingas at Pere Ubu, where Cycladic cuisine is showcased through small plates meant for sharing. Far from the club-filled Mykonos, this is a sun-drenched, white-washed retreat—the perfect setting to say “I do.”.
