Top 50 honeymoon destinations
Wondering where to spend the holiday of a lifetime? Be inspired by the top 50 places around the world.
Bermuda
Bermuda is perfect. Just seven hours flight from the UK, it's a home from home, with afternoon tea and cricket matches amidst the tropics. Tiny cottages, pretty roads, flowers and turquoise sea set the scene, along with striking cliffs and stylish yachts. If you like the idea of a slow pace, smart shops, golf (there are more per square mile than in any other country), world-class spas and soft pink beaches, this is the place for you.
British Virgin Islands
The BVI consists of numerous islands, each with their own character and charm. This is the place to enjoy deserted beaches, spa treatments, sailing and diving. Tortola is the largest island and the primary centre of Caribbean yachting, and Virgin Gorda is full of natural wonders. Other major islands include Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. If you feel like splashing out, you could always rent Richard Branson's Necker Island.
California
One of the USA’s most diverse and beautiful states is also home to some of its most exciting cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco. It's the place to star-spot in Hollywood or enjoy the carefree, seaside lifestyle in San Fran. Away from the cities, visit the charming coastal towns like Carmel, drive along stunning Big Sur, ski on the slopes above Lake Tahoe and visit the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma. For some big glamour gambling, pop in to Las Vegas on your way home.
Canada
Whether you're looking to ski in Whistler, cycle through Ontario's wine region, take a cowboy trail through Alberta, dine in Vancouver or enjoy the hot springs in Banff, Canada has everything to offer adventurous couples. Vancouver Island's Gourmet Trail is a must for food-lovers while Eastern Canada offers a touch of France a little further from home.
Cayman Islands
Nestling in the calm turquoise waters of the western Caribbean, the Cayman Islands are made up of three islands in total: Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman is a sunbather's paradise, and there are numerous dive sites
to suit both beginners and experienced divers. Those looking for a little culture will enjoy the museum, botanical gardens and the turtle farm.
