Aeolian islands honeymoon

The Aeolian Islands, also called the Lipari Islands, are a UNESCO World Heritage site and archipelago near Sicily, where land formed by volcanoes some 700,000 years ago rises out of the dazzling turquoise waters. These are our favorite islands off the mainland, and an excellent place for your Italian honeymoon. If you’re looking for a private island getaway dripping in luxury and relaxation, consider an Aeolian Islands honeymoon. 


Lipari is the largest of the Aeolian Islands, offering a collection of pastel-colored buildings, a busy port, and plenty of natural areas to explore. While Lipari serves as a great base from which to see the rest of the islands, it’s not necessarily the main attraction. Other spectacular islands in the archipelago include Stromboli with its active volcano, quiet and pretty Salina, untouched Filicudi, and others. 

Aeolian Islands Honeymoon Inspiration

While each trip we design is completely customized, here are some highlights to serve as Aeolian Islands honeymoon inspiration:

  • Island hop in style as you sail around the eight Lipari Islands or view them from above in a helicopter. 

  • Escape the world on the quiet island of Panarea, where white painted villas and high-end boutiques dot the rocky coasts. 

  • Take a private boat ride by Stromboli to watch in awe as molten red lava pours down the side of the volcano. 

  • Sample sweet Malvasia wine and fresh capers on the archipelago’s second largest island, Salina. 

  • Hike to see a volcanic crater or lounge on the stunning black sand beaches of Vulcano.

  • Treat yourselves to spa treatments, where scrubs made of local black sand and honey will transform your skin.
