Top 50 honeymoon destinations

Wondering where to spend the holiday of a lifetime? Be inspired by the top 50 places around the world.

The Cook Islands

The Cook Islands consist of 15 islands scattered over two million square kilometres of the Pacific Ocean. They lie in the centre of the Polynesian Triangle, flanked to the west by the Kingdom of Tonga and the Samoas and to the east by Tahiti and the islands of French Polynesia. Think wooden churches, waterfront bars and deep blue lagoons. Raratonga is the centre of the Cook Islands, with lush rainforests, clear waters and a great range of accommodation. If you really want to get away from it all, head to Aitukaki with its sparkling crystal waters and the whitest beaches. Hire scooters if you want to explore.

Cuba

Cuba, the largest of the Caribbean islands, is becoming increasingly popular. With a fantastic mix of mountain ranges and plains, over 200 bays, 289 beaches, fascinating history and incredible scenery, it's easy to see why. Havana is the capital of Cuba and is a must with its exciting music, vibrant culture and crumbling architecture. Beach resorts include Varadero, and the quieter Cayo Coco.

Cyprus

Basking in the warm Mediterranean sun, Cyprus is an island of legends, with wonderful beaches, mountains, vineyards, ancient ruins and old stone villages. It's also relatively close to home, so you can enjoy a combination of sunshine and culture without travelling half way around the world. Luxurious hotels offer you the opportunity to enjoy some serious pampering, whether you choose to stay beside the sea, or venture a little further inland.

Dominican Republic

With its magnificent beaches and resorts, vast arches of white sand and clear, sparkling waters, the Dominican Republic makes a great honeymoon destination. However, it also has claim as the location of the oldest city in the New World -- Santo Domingo -- so is steeped in culture and history. Merengue, the music and dance of the Dominican Republic, infuses all aspects of life and make resorts particularly lively.

Dubai

One of the big success stories of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai has year-round sunshine, soft sandy beaches along the Jumeriah coast and some of the most palatial hotels in the world. If you're feeling active, you might want to try a camel ride in the desert, have a go at dune skiing or enjoy watersports in the warm waters of the Persian Gulf. Shopping is a must in this duty free city, and it's also worth considering Dubai as just part of your honeymoon. It is, for example, part way to the Maldives.
