Top 50 honeymoon destinations

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

Egypt

Travellers have been marvelling at Egypt's wondrous antiquities for thousands of years -- they even put the ancient Greeks and Romans in awe. Today, its mystical appeal remains, from the fascinating pyramids to the glorious beaches of the Red Sea. An Egyptian itinerary could also include diving along the Red Sea coast, a desert trek or visits to ancient temples and tombs further south.

Fiji

The beautiful islands of Fiji lie nearly 2000 miles off the east coast of Australia. With 333 islands, Fiji's population actually resides on two main islands -- Viti Levu (Great Fiji) and Vanua Levu. Fiji is exotic, giving you the opportunity to swim with manta rays, snorkel over soft coral, float in turquoise lagoons at sunset and explore lush rainforests. Fiji is the kind of place where you can picnic at the edge of a waterfall before dancing the night away. And, if you're looking for some hustle and bustle, Viti Levu offers several large towns including the capital, Suva. There are some excellent hotels and a superb choice of cruises, making Fiji ideal for a single or multi centre holiday, or stopover en route to or from Australia and New Zealand.

Florida

Ah, the 'funshine' state. For fans of Disney World and Universal Studios, a honeymoon in Florida is a must. But, of course, Orlando isn't all that Florida has to offer. For glitz and glamour, you can't beat the Latin chic of Miami’s South Beach and its Art Deco hotels and nightclubs. The Everglades offers plenty of eco action with its wetlands. And for those who like the idea of cruising down the open roads, how about hiring a convertible and heading to the Florida Keys to soak up a few rays?

France

One of the most romantic and cultural countries in the world is right on our doorstep, and makes a perfect honeymoon destination. Paris makes a great honeymoon city with its magical sights, from Notre Dame to the Eiffel Tower, fantastic restaurants and picturesque hotels. And, of course, there's nothing more romantic than sitting in a Parisian café with coffee and croissants for breakfast. If you want to go further afield, consider the French countryside. Bordeaux, Provence and the Côte d'Azur all make wonderful honeymoon destinations, as does a long weekend in the Champagne region.

Great Britain

You might not have considered it, but what about staying close to home on your honeymoon? We might not have the sunniest weather, but there's plenty to offer honeymooning couples, from exciting city breaks in London or Edinburgh, to romantic country retreats in Cornwall, Yorkshire, and the Lake District. The UK’s hotels are getting better every year, and there are some fantastic romantic hideaways available.
