Calling all newlyweds! The theme-park capital of the world promises endless thrills, no matter your age or appetite for Disney. But there’s plenty of other things to do besides spending time with Mickey and Minnie in Orlando for honeymooning couples. Here’s our pick of where to stay.

Live out your Hogwarts fantasy in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, come face to face with marine life in SeaWorld, watch crocs wrestle in Gatorland, or go the full Mickey Mouse and hit all the Disney resorts. Let us help you plan your post-wedding getaway.

1. The Alfond Inn

The Alfond Inn often tops the Florida Best Hotels list, so you know you’re in for a treat here – and something a little different to the standard resort offering. The boutique hotel, in glamorous Winter Park, showcases contemporary artwork from the Cornell Fine Arts Museum through its communal spaces; you can book a guided Happy Hour Art Tour on the first Wednesday of every month to find out more. The award-winning Hamilton’s Kitchen is a great spot for dinner, with Macallan scotch pudding its signature dessert.

2. Dr Phillips House

Guesthouse

There are only six suites at Dr Phillips House – a boutique guesthouse with grand 19th-century architecture that’s also a national historic landmark – so you can expect truly personal service here, and it’s a far cry from the Disney theme park experience. If basketball is your thing, the home of Orlando Magic is the Amway Center, only a 20-minute walk away. Alternatively, enjoy craft cocktails at the password-protected speakeasy Hanson’s Shoe Repair a few blocks north.

4. The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort

Honeymooners can “rough it in comfort” in one of the cabins at Disney’s fabulous Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, set in a 750-acre (300ha) pine and cypress forest teeming with birds and wildlife: look out for deer, rabbits and ducks. The cabins offer a bit more privacy than the Fort Wilderness Lodge, which can be privately rented, and you can even have groceries delivered to your door.

5. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes

The design behind the Ritz-Carlton Orlando – an upscale, full-service resort set in 500 acres (202ha) of grounds – was inspired by Italy’s grand palazzos. One of the most magnificent honeymoon hotel destinations in Orlando, it features luxury suites, plenty of dining options, a top spa, three outdoor pools and an 18-hole Greg Norman-signature golf course. During your stay, you can plan your own sports experience to enjoy activities such as fishing.

The JW Marriott Orlando, a sophisticated, award-winning hotel that ticks all the honeymooning boxes, sits in the lush Grande Lakes District. It has several on-site cafes and restaurants to choose from, plus a full-service spa, an 18-hole golf course and a swanky outdoor pool. Elegant rooms are fitted with marble bathrooms and huge comfy beds with quilted, high-quality bedding, so it’s just as well there is 24-hour room service for bumper buffet breakfasts and candlelit dinners.

8. Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort
