Greece
The Cyclades are a group of islands in the Aegean Sea southeast of Greece. Here, you’ll find Santorini and Mykonos, two of the most popular Greece honeymoon options.
Santorini has everything from beautiful beaches to idyllic villages. There are plenty of fun activities, such as wine tasting, sunbathing, sunset watching, and enjoying some fine dining.
Mykonos has plenty of beautiful beaches and stunning architecture to take in. Visit Little Venice or embark on a boat cruise to take in the sights.
Bali
Bali is a great honeymoon location because there’s something to do there for everyone.
If you want a relaxing beachside vacation, Uluwatu on the southwestern tip of the Bukit Peninsula might be perfect. There are some great surfing spots here and plenty of resorts with unbelievable views. Beach vacations account for around 48% of all honeymoons, so you’ll be in good company in Bali. With a bit more of an exotic feel than the tropical islands closer to the US, Bali doesn’t only offer unspoiled beaches, surfing, snorkeling and massages, and it’s full of culture, art, music, rice terraces and temples, and many, many temples. Nature is celebrated here, and it’s easy to get into the spirit at unbelievably lush properties such as Four Seasons Bali at Sayan and Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve for jungle vibes, Uluwatu Surf Villas or Mulia Villas for coastal bliss.
People looking to blow off some post-wedding stress will love the nightlife in the Gili Islands. You’ll find the most vibrant nightlife on Gili Trawangan, the true party island of the three Gilis.
Bali has plenty of options if you’re looking for an adventurous honeymoon. Take an ATV ride off the beaten path, or try white water rafting in the Ayung River. No adventure seeker will want to miss the great snorkeling opportunities in Bali, either.
Italy
If movie-style romance is the name of the game, your honeymoon vacation should be to Italy. Every area of this beautiful country has something to offer honeymooners.
There are various reasons why the Amalfi Coast remains at the top of newlyweds’ wish lists. Positano’s steep village alleys, Moorish architecture, turquoise ocean, and colourful loungers and umbrellas surrounding the black sandy beaches are hard to imagine as more traditionally lovely. The Amalfi Coast has picturesque cliffsides, fantastic beaches, and great hikes. Florence is the place to go if you’re into history and art. Sicily is a large island with unique architecture, tasty food markets, and stunning blue water.
Italy has a rich and colorful history, beautiful coastal towns, and unbeatable cuisine. Whether you want to walk cobblestoned streets hand-in-hand with your spouse or hike along the cliffside towns, there is so much to do and see in Italy.
