Top 10 Honeymoon Destinations
Maldives
Unique is a good description for the many islands that make up the Maldives. This honeymoon destination is quite unlike others in terms of its appeal. But don't come here for diverse shopping or raucous nightlife, as you will be disappointed. And it will help if you are partial to seafood. The Maldives is, or are, a natural phenomenon of epic proportions where some world class hotels offer a once in a lifetime place for you to reside. Choose a seaplane transfer rather than a speedboat to really get the best views of this Indian Ocean paradise. And drink it all in, remembering to bring a camera to capture those incredible scenes.
Seychelles
The influence of Creole architecture and cuisine enhances a Seychelles honeymoon, not that this beautiful archipelago destination needs any help. Seychelles features more greenery' than its Indian Ocean neighbours like Mauritius or the Maldives, and as such there is a larger representation of land based wildlife like tropical birds. As with all of the Indian Ocean islands, you'll find amazing opportunities below sea level for pursuits like snorkelling and diving great fun for first timers. Of all of the Indian Ocean islands, Seychelles is possibly the most expensive but it's a case of you get what you pay for especially if you choose your hotel wisely from the impressive collection of 5 star resorts.
Mauritius
Bays, beaches, coral reefs and coves are all key signifiers to Mauritius' lure for honeymoon couples. This fantastic island destination is adorned with many areas of outstanding natural beauty, where mangroves and tropical rainforests flourish opening up opportunities to kayak and ramble. Charming' is a word often used to describe Mauritius, and once you've been you know why. It is just so nice, quaint and pretty it feels like another world and it's this otherness' that makes it stand out from the crowd. Beach dwellers will love it here, and like with the Maldives and Seychelles you'll find luxury spas aplenty mainly all located within luxury 4 and 5 star hotels.
Dubai
Dubai is the perfect twin centre honeymoon destination. It's great to stay here for between 3 -5 nights and then head off to one of the Indian Ocean resorts or even further afield to the Far East. I wouldn't say it's a relaxing or orthodox destination, quite the opposite, but that's why it's so good as a twin centre offering shopping, city tours, amazing hotels and the quite incredible Palm Jumeirah development which features Atlantis the Palm. Vast shopping malls, authentic souks, a blanket of skyscrapers, an amazing city monorail, Jumeirah Beach its got it all in absolute spades and the sheer scope of Dubai, its architecture and climate make it doubly, triply appealing for first time visitors.
Thailand
This enormous country literally swells with opportunities from Bangkok to Bang Tao Bay. Want to experience the hype of Bangkok twinned with an island paradise? Head to Koh Chang. Fancy Thailand but not Bangkok? Fly into Phuket and discover Southern Thailand instead. A fan of James Bond? Head to the picturesque Similan Islands where they filmed The Spy Who Loved Me. Or catch a boat from Krabi to Phi Phi Island, home to indigenous monkeys and the hidden bay as featured in the movie, The Beach. If you do only do one thing, don't miss an elephant trek in this exhilarating destination where the hospitality fits perfectly for that extra special honeymoon.
Malaysia
With a similar lure to Thailand, Malaysia offers the chance to blend horizons. A smaller country, you'll fly into Kuala Lumpur and then Malaysia is your oyster, with Borneo, Langkawi and Penang just a few of the highlights at your disposal. Malay cuisine emphasises flavour and spice in equal measure, so if you're a fan of curries or seafood, you'll love what you find here. Orangutan sanctuaries at Kota Kinabalu, an incredible bay at Redang Island or the winding tea plantations at Cameron Highlands would be my choice, but that would mean not choosing somewhere equally as wonderful. Choose carefully!
St Lucia
The backdrop of St Lucia's beautiful Piton Mountains provide the perfect scene for romance. This picture perfect Caribbean island is an upmarket choice adorned with large luxury and small boutique hotels, many crafted into the mountains and some with open air guest bedrooms and bathrooms with outdoor tropical rain showers great if you are seeking authentic luxury but not so great if you can't stand insects. Unlike a few other more authentic Caribbean destinations, St Lucia is an exclusive choice where you'll certainly pay more but you should end up reaping what you sow and even the harshest critic will struggle not to be seriously impressed by the immense beauty of the island.
South Africa
This is a great choice for couples who want a doing' honeymoon with lots of activities to choose from across a wide scope of destinations. Choose Cape Town (home to Table Mountain and Camps Bay) for a few days and then head out to the accessible wine lands where you can enjoy tours and tasting, or how about a safari with lions and elephants at Sabi Sands or Kruger National Park? There's superb land based whale watching at Hermanus, trekking or brown trout fishing near the Drakensberg Mountains or scenic walks along the blissful Garden Route. This epic destination offers amazing value for money whilst you are there, with fine authentic dining incorporating both Dutch and Malay influences.
Bahamas
The Bahamas are a cool choice for a honeymoon and the pink sand beaches indigenous to the island will play no small part towards your enjoyment. Home to Nassau and Paradise Island with its brightly coloured exotic birdlife and diverse nightlife, guests will also find crystal clear waters for bathing and numerous quality hotels ranging from water park focused fun resorts to intimate hideaways like the one favoured by James Bond in Casino Royale. Snorkelling, diving and fishing are popular owing to the amazing waters and visit the unique Straw Market for a one of a kind shopping experience. It's all here at this intriguing, beautiful destination.
Barbados
From the calm of the placid golden beaches to the funky beats of Holetown, Barbados honeymoons can be as relaxing or colourful as you want them to be. Regular fish fry nights take place on the beaches of this charming island, where you'll also find some affordable 3 star hotels offering a good standard of accommodation to complement those in the higher bracket. Barbados is not particularly cheap when you are out there but as a Caribbean honeymoon destination it is not the most expensive. The locals love their sport here, especially cricket, and you can enjoy activities on the beach as well as spa treatments with the cool Caribbean breeze and amazing sunsets to accompany them.
