💑 Top 10 destinations for the perfect honeymoon

You can often hear stories when newlyweds refuse to have a wedding in the usual sense: with a toastmaster and a bunch of guests. At the same time, even those who get married in sneakers usually plan a honeymoon while traveling. I have already written about my not quite ordinary honeymoon. Now I’ll tell you about more obvious places where you can go to celebrate the best, or at least the most romantic, day in your life.

What does your imagination picture when you think about a honeymoon? Most likely, cinema influenced the first associations, which means you imagined an island from a chocolate bar advertisement with turquoise clear water, palm trees as if from color correction, delicate sand, scorching sun and hotel swans made of towels surrounded by heart-shaped rose petals on a king bed -size I understand you perfectly! I thought about this too at first. Therefore, we will begin the review with the islands. By the way, if you book a vacation with a tour operator, do not forget to say that you are going on a honeymoon – romantic surprises, bonuses, or at least an extra fruit basket will be provided.

Maldives

An island tropical state in the Indian Ocean, synonymous with luxury and luxury holidays, sponsor of thousands of Instagram photos. 

Joint diving, massages, romantic dinners against the backdrop of incredible sunsets and starry skies, a variety of cocktails (especially if you buy “All inclusive”), coral reefs – the Maldives are ideal for a leisurely romantic holiday. A country is rarely chosen for activities and excursions, although they also exist. But this is a great place to be alone, enjoy communication, idyllic nature and other delights of a honeymoon.

Indonesia

The country consists of more than 17.8 thousand islands, but the fabulous Bali is probably on the lips of almost everyone. A popular exotic option, island paradise. A calm and relaxed stay on it can be easily combined with active recreation if the option of lying idle on the beach is not for you.

Activities include: climbing a volcano, yoga, surfing, exploring the jungle and temples. If you need restaurants and clubs, please do so. You can easily rent a moped and get to know the local culture and its beauty on your own. However, from December to February, Bali is “washed” by tropical downpours. You can apply for a visa online.

Seychelles

The Seychelles is a favorite holiday destination for many Hollywood stars. Even the royal couple William and Kate spent their honeymoon in the Seychelles. It is the only African country with a high income level. At your disposal is a rich wildlife, mango forests, all kinds of tropical excursions and any culinary delights. Limits in Seychelles can only be in the context of your bank card. A visa is not required for up to 30 days. You can relax on the islands all year round; summer there is endless, since the archipelago is located close to the equator. But the best time is still from April to October. Frequent rains only in January.

Tanzania

We won’t discuss the continental part of another African country for now, but colorful Zanzibar – easily. An island honeymoon is something everyone can enjoy. If you like adventure, then there are walks through the jungle, small safaris, cave tours, picnics, kitesurfing, swimming with dolphins. If you need relaxation and solitude, everything will be there. The visa is issued upon arrival on the island. Cost: $50. Rainy season: November to December. Good tours to this country are organized by Trip.com.

Mauritius

Mark Twain once said: “Mauritius came before heaven, and God created heaven in its image.” A heavenly destination is exactly what you need for the perfect honeymoon, right? The island is a perfect mixture of not only national cultures, but even continental ones. In Mauritius, you can satisfy your every whim, for the right price, that’s for sure. For example, try a red pineapple or spend a date near the crater of an extinct volcano, see the unique seven-colored sands or an underground waterfall. For extreme romantics, there is even the option of a couple's parachute jump. The best time to travel is from November to May. A visa is not required for tourism.

Mexico 

When you want to combine a romantic, relaxing beach holiday and excursions around a colorful, multifaceted country, choose Mexico, an excellent option. Here you will find resorts and ancient monuments ; the Mayan pyramids alone are worth it.

If you have a Schengen visa or a US, UK, Japanese or Canadian visa, then you don’t need to do anything else; if you don’t have anything, then you can apply for a visa to Mexico remotely. High season: November to May.

Cuba

A country where eras intersect. An excellent place where there is authenticity, a rich history, color, and plenty of snow-white beaches with azure water. The warm waters of the Caribbean Sea will never leave you indifferent. The country has more than 300 sunny days a year. So whenever you get married, your Cuban honeymoon is sure to be hot! A visa is not required for up to 30 days.

France

If you are newlyweds and also happy owners of Schengen, we can doubly congratulate you, because then there is an option to spend your honeymoon in the land of love. Paris, Normandy, Provence, Cote d'Azur… France is fragrant with the aromas of passion, romance, delights and, perhaps, the most delicate pastries. Wherever you go, you will probably like everything (or almost everything) and remember it. The grandchildren will definitely have something to tell.

Spain

Passion, color, flamenco, ancient history, seafood, wine – Spain can give you the most vivid impressions and memories. Depending on the season, you can choose a beach holiday or trips to ancient authentic cities, vineyards and castles. Photos from a honeymoon in Spain turn out fabulous.

Italy

Another country of love and romance. Rome, Verona, Venice, the enchanting beaches of the Mediterranean Sea – even a week in dizzying Italy feels like six months at home. You can go there and go there, first on your honeymoon, then on your anniversary, Valentine’s Day – and every time it will take your breath away and the butterflies will fly.

The main thing in planning a honeymoon is the time that you devote to each other, and not fuss and rush trying to do everything and try everything. In a honeymoon, the key word is “wedding”. Therefore, set aside time for passive rest if you are used to running around on excursions, and a little activity if you are going, for example, to the islands. Whatever you choose, enjoy and enjoy your trip on such an important occasion. And may your honeymoon be remembered as one of the best in your now joint life!
