If you’re lucky enough to have recently gotten married, or you’ve got a wedding planned in the near future, then it’s traditional to treat yourself to a holiday as a couple afterwards. This is traditionally a way of bidding farewell to your life as a couple, ahead of a new life as a family. If you’re not planning on introducing children into your marriage, however, then it’s just an extra-special holiday.

As such, it’s worth picking a destination that’s worthy of the trip. Let’s take a look at a few worthwhile locations. Depending on what you’re looking for, you’re sure to find something that fits the bill.

Best Beach Honeymoon Destinations

St Barthélemy, in the Caribbean, is among the world’s most sought-after destinations for newlyweds. If you’d prefer a break in the pacific, then Bora Bora, in French Polynesia, might appeal. In either case, you’ll get a winning combination of seclusion, seafood, and spectacular weather. If you’d prefer to keep things nearby, however, there’s no shortage of Mediterranean islands to explore.

Best European Honeymoon Destinations

The idea of a European holiday is positively bristling with spectacle and mystery. With Europe Packages you might explore the sundrenched coastline of the French Riviera, or the snow-capped mountains of the Swiss alps. Naturally, the time of year at which you’re travelling might have a say in where you choose to venture.

Positano is a town on the Amalfi Coast which tends to typify the luxury that many of us are looking for. Ticking a few of the same boxes at a faction of the cost is Hvar, in Croatia. It’s packed with terracotta rooftops, and the sea is glorious and clear.

On the other hand, Europe is home to some of the most spectacular and historically rich capital cities anywhere in the world. Rome, Paris, Milan and Madrid all stand apart, but if you’d like maximum return on your investment, then a city break in Eastern Europe might allow your money to go that little bit further. Prague, Budapest and Bucharest might appeal. Then of course there’s London, which might be appealing to some.

Conclusion

Ideally, you’re only going to go on one honeymoon in your lifetime, so it can seem like there’s a lot of pressure to make it as magical and unforgettable as possible. However, you’re going to enjoy it less if you feel that you’re being financially compromised, so draw up a budget and stick with it.
