Top 10 Honeymoon Destinations

January 27, 2009 By Honeymoon Destinations Specialist Leave a Comment

Looking for that perfect honeymoon trip for you and the one you love? Then take a look at our list of the world’s top honeymoon destinations.

French Polynesia

For those who dream of paradise on earth, it is French Polynesia, where each idyllic image is brought to life in vibrant colour and heady, tropical luxuriance.

Indonesia

Strewn across the coral-rich waters of Southeast Asia, Indonesia is an archipelago of more that 17,000 islands.

Japan

In the archetypal image of the sleek bullet train gliding past snow-capped Mount Fuji, the magic of Japan in encapsulated in one freeze-frame: Natural and modern beauty merging in harmony.

South Africa

South Africa has a wealth of attractions that bring travellers back time and time again, and a honeymoon here would allow you to experience much of what this wonderful country has to offer.

Tanzania

Tanzania is a vibrant and exotic country. A photographer’s paradise it is home to Africa’s largest parks, densest animal populations and most famous wildlife spectacles.

Thailand

Thailand is known as the land of smiles and with good reason. The people are genuinely welcoming and hospitable.

Zambia

Chattering and throwing monkey oranges on the roof of your cottage, the monkeys start your day before the sun does.

Seychelles

Soft, white sand squeaks underfoot as you walk along the beach. Ghost crabs scuttle to and fro and white fairy terns flutter Seychelles thumbnailoverhead. There is no sound apart from the lapping ocean and the wind whispering in the coconut palms.

Morocco

Despite its close proximity to Europe, Morocco is a world away. Marrakesh is a traditional favourite, with the ancient city of Fez and the walled coastal town of Essaouira becoming increasingly popular places to visit.

Maldives

With a myriad of tiny islands and atolls scattered in the Indian Ocean, the azure waters of the lagoons and swaying palm trees lining the beach fulfil most honeymooners’ image of tropical paradise.
