Top 50 honeymoon destinations

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

Maldives

The Maldives is a group of tiny coral islands due west of the southern tip of India and scattered across the Indian Ocean. Over 1000 islands are all surrounded by fine white sand beaches and crystal blue waters, deep blue lagoons and dazzling underwater coral gardens.

The fabulous marine life makes the Maldives a top dive location and also wonderful for other water sports, from snorkelling to sailing. Your stay in the Maldives really depends on your choice of hotel -- the small sizes of the islands means that most have just one hotel on them. This is the place to spend what you can afford to ensure wonderful facilities and cuisine on an all-inclusive basis.

Malta

Malta, the 'heart of the Mediterranean' has much to offer, with wonderful scenery and architecture, and a wealth of culture. Carnivals and open air concerts are a regular occurrence -- you could find yourself watching the arrival of the Knights of St John in Malta, re-enacted with pomp and ceremony. In medieval Mdina, you'll come across everything from Napoleonic troops to flower festivals, while the capital, Valletta, is an historical and cultural haven.

Those looking for an active holiday can experience diving or sailing, particularly popular around the island of Gozo, or hire a car and venture through the beautiful countryside to sun-drenched beaches.

Mauritius

The turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, along with soft white sandy beaches, make the picturesque island of Mauritius a great honeymoon destination. Thickly-wooded mountain peaks, sugar cane plantations and extinct volcanoes add to its charm, and it offers a wonderful mix of Indian, Chinese and Creole religion and cuisine.

Most of the hotels in Mauritius are so fantastic that you'll never want to venture from your pampered haven but, should you wish to, the island has plenty to offer including colourful markets, friendly fishing villages and game reserves.

Mexico

Civilisations flourished in Mexico over 2000 years ago, so the culture here is incredibly rich, from Mayan temples, to colonial Spanish churches. Coupled with this are fabulous Caribbean beaches and luxurious hotels. Cozumel, Punta Mita and Zihuatenajo are the places to relax, while Cancun, Acapulco and Ixtapa are the places to party.

Mexican cuisine is mouth-watering, perfect when washed down with a margarita. And, for those wanting something a little more active than lazing on the beach, you can do everything from deep-sea fishing off Acapulco to diving the barrier reefs of the Yucatan, or cruising the Baja desert in a four-by-four.
