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.

July

• Beach babes -- head to the South Pacific for some serious relaxation. Fiji, the Cook Islands and Tahiti have their dry seasons from May to November.
• Culture vultures -- cross North America in the trans-Canadian rail from Toronto to Vancouver.
• City slickers -- make the most of summer in the city of Dublin, taking in Trinity College and enjoying cool pints of Guinness.  

August

• Beach babes -- do the proper beach thing and soak up the sun in southern Spain or Italy's Amalfi coast.
• Culture vultures -- it’s the cooler season in Kenya and Tanzania, so a good time for a safari -- combine with a stint on a Zanzibar beach.
• City slickers -- for a relaxed summer city break, try some smaller European cities, such as Ljubljana in Slovenia, Sienna in Italy or Cadiz in Spain.

September

• Beach babes -- treat yourself to some real luxury on the island paradise of Mauritius.
• Culture vultures -- temperatures are appealingly tropical at this time of year in Sri Lanka. Laze on the beaches, and cool off in the hill-top town of Kandy.
• City slickers -- enjoy late summer in elegant Paris before heading to Champagne in time to see the grapes being picked.

October

• Beach babes -- jet off to the Seychelles for secluded luxury on a lush, tropical island.
• Culture vultures -- temperatures have dropped off in Egypt now, so it’s perfect for exploring the Pyramids, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings -- and you can combine it with some beach time on the Red Sea.
• City slickers -- head to the east coast of the USA to experience the stunning colours of Boston and New England in autumn

November

• Beach babes -- this is the perfect season to savour the islands of St Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean.
• Culture vultures -- Thailand is rich in culture with its markets, palaces and breathtaking scenery. Soak it all up before spending some time enjoying the beach.
• City slickers -- year-round sunshine, excellent shopping and fabulous hotels makes Dubai a great honeymoon destination.

December

• Beach babes --spend Christmas in the lap of luxury with a honeymoon in the Turks and Caicos islands, where the temperature is a blissful average of between 75 and 85F.
• Culture vultures -- for a festive break, head to Lapland, where you can visit Father Christmas, ride on snowmobiles or go dog-sledding.
• City slickers -- savour the wine, culture and sights of Vienna. Admire the Christmas decorations, shop in the Christmas market, and spend a night at the opera.
