7 of the Best Honeymoon Hostels Around The World

According to new research by Hostelworld, nearly one million adults have stayed in a hostel while on their honeymoon. And the Hostelmoon trend is growing fast, as 34% of those who have stayed in a hostel on their honeymoon have done so in 2016, compared to 14% in 2015. The trend seems to be fuelled by couples bitten by the Travel Bug and craving a different kind of honeymoon. So with hostels in every corner of the world offering beautiful private rooms to help make trips both adventurous and romantic, here Hostelworld uncovers those that will give newlyweds something to lust over:

Casa Gracia, Barcelona, Spain

Right in the heart of Barcelona sits Casa Gracia, a beautiful mansion in the modernist style but now a boutique hostel. The food and drink are exquisite and authentic, and the in-hostel experience is as enjoyable as the rest of the city. Staying in Casa Gracia’s bling private rooms, your Barcelona Hostelmoon can take in both the bustling city and the stunning beaches Barcelona has to offer.

The Backpack, Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town is rising up the bucket lists of many British travellers and, for a romantic stay with a beautiful view of Table Mountain, Hostelmooners can’t go wrong with a stay at The Backpack. Whether exploring one of the world’s most exciting cities or chilling under the stars with a cocktail by this hostel’s gorgeous pool, the romance of Cape Town’s premier hostel, complete with stunning private rooms, will fit the bill for a trip to the other side of the world.

Blue Hostel, Rome, Italy

Rome is one of Europe’s most romantic cities, and a former convent built during the 17th century now houses one of the world’s best hostels for romance. From the Lungtevere to the Trevi Fountain, there is no end to the stunning spots to take a romantic selfie with your new spouse in Italy’s capital, and Blue Hostel on Rome’s Via Carla Alberto boasts some of the most gorgeous designer private rooms that hostels have to offer. Perfect for some historic Hostelmoon romance.

LoLHostel Siracusa, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

Another Italian gem, a trip to LoLHostel Siracusa in Syracuse, Sicily, could be an alternative or even a follow-up to beautiful, bustling Rome. While you might certainly laugh out loud with your loved one at LoLHostel, its beauty and tranquillity will make the perfect haven of amore as you explore Syracuse and Sicily. Food, wine, culture and scenery will make this trip an unforgettable one.

Freehand, Miami, USA

With a new restaurant named as one of Miami’s best and a bar known as one of the best in the US, Freehand Miami combines amazing comforts, innovative design, local art and affordable prices. Freehand is centrally located and just a block from the beach… if you can drag yourself away from the hostel’s amazing pool. Free salsa lessons may also be a perfect way to start an evening that will of course lead to a good night’s sleep in one of Freehand’s gorgeous en suite private rooms.
