When to go on your honeymoon

Your choice of honeymoon destinations will depend on when you get married -- so have a look at our choice of the best places to go for every month of the year.

January

  • Beach babes -- head to a dreamy beach on one of the 7,000 islands in the Philippines.
  • Culture vultures -- South Africa is perfect for adventurous honeymooners. Laze on the endless beaches, explore Cape Town or venture out on a safari.

February

  • Beach babes -- dive, swim, snorkel and laze on the beautiful atolls of the Maldives.

  • Culture vultures -- celebrate the first day of summer in Iceland. It's something of a spectacle with street parties and colourful parades.
