Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Canyon descent
The 45-minute drive from Madaba drops nearly 800 metres into the Zarqa Ma'in canyon. Check in, walk barefoot beneath the main 30-metre waterfall and dine on the terrace with the sound of the cascade behind you.
Six Senses spa day
Spend the day in the resort's thermal circuit — indoor pools, hammam, sauna, mud treatments and a couples 90-minute massage at Six Senses Spa. Late lunch by the family waterfall pool.
Dead Sea float
A 30-minute drive to the Dead Sea for an early morning float, mineral mud ritual and brunch at a beach club. Back at the canyon for a private thermal waterfall session reserved for two.
Mount Nebo and Madaba
Climb out of the canyon for a cultural morning at Mount Nebo (where Moses saw the Promised Land) and Madaba's 6th-century mosaic map. Return for a sunset shisha on the terrace.
Hiking Wadi Mujib
Drive 40 minutes to the Mujib Biosphere Reserve for the Siq Trail — wading a river canyon to a hidden waterfall. Back at the hotel for a rock-pool afternoon and Middle Eastern tasting menu.
Roman Amman or rest
Option to day-trip to Amman's Citadel and Roman Theatre, or simply stay in the canyon for another spa day and a private dinner by candlelight beneath the main waterfall.
Farewell
Final sunrise waterfall soak, slow breakfast on the terrace and transfer up the canyon road to Queen Alia airport or onward to the Dead Sea, Petra or Wadi Rum.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
The canyon access road is steep with blind switchbacks and should be driven only during daylight or by an experienced driver — arrange transfers with the hotel rather than self-driving at night.
Thermal waters contain high mineral and sulphur content that can stain light swimsuits and fade jewellery, so bring dark swimwear and remove rings before stepping under the waterfalls.
The resort is in a remote desert canyon with no town or shops nearby, so expect all meals and drinks to be taken on property and budget accordingly for the week-long stay.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this hotel good for honeymooners?
Yes — it is arguably Jordan's most romantic wellness address. The private waterfall suites, canyon drama and couples spa rituals make it an extraordinary honeymoon setting for spa-loving couples.
What is the best time to visit?
October to April is the peak season when canyon temperatures are warm but not scorching and the thermal waterfalls feel especially welcome. Summer in the canyon can exceed 40C by midday.
What should we book in advance?
Reserve an Executive or Presidential Suite with waterfall view, a 90-minute couples ritual at Six Senses Spa, a Mujib Siq Trail guided hike and a private waterfall dinner for one evening.
Is it adults-only?
No, the resort welcomes families and has separate family-friendly pool areas. The serious spa, adults-preferred waterfall circuit and remote canyon setting still give honeymooners a calm experience overall.
What's the best room type for a honeymoon?
The Executive Suite facing the main waterfall is the signature honeymoon room. If the budget allows, the Presidential Suite offers double the space and its own private terrace overlooking the entire thermal cascade.
How do we get there?
Fly into Queen Alia International Airport (AMM). The resort is 70 kilometres south-west via Madaba, a 75-minute drive that the hotel arranges in 4x4 transfers because of the steep canyon access road.
