I recommend you book with a trusted tour operator. Follow the links below for details of dates and deposits.

1. the Maldives

This Indian Ocean archipelago is like nowhere else on earth – making it the perfect choice for a honeymoon. Its 26 coral atolls are renowned for their powder white sand beaches and jade seas. For honeymooners there’s the allure of being castaway in paradise, but more than that, increasingly sophisticated resorts have become irresistibly romantic and indulgent with everything from underwater clubs to 24-hour spas – two of the highlights at the stylish NIYAMA.

2. Caribbean

Highly accessible with guaranteed sunshine, the Caribbean offers amazing all-inclusive deals, boutique one-offs and special treatment for newlyweds. It’s an obvious choice for a winter honeymoon but also great value in spring and summer.

3. Greece

Greece has enjoyed something of a renaissance over recent years in terms of stylish accommodation. Add to that its accessibility and the natural beauty of its mainland and islands, and you have a strong honeymoon contender. The dramatic island of Santorini comes top of many honeymoon wish lists with slick boutique hideaways like Grace Santorini.

4. Italy

Italy is a sure-fire choice for romance. Few could argue with a honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast with its iconic towns and villages such as Minori, Ravello and Sorrento.

Venice remains another iconic city of romance with some of the world’s best hotels. Or go off the beaten track to some of Italy’s less known regions such as Chianti and Le Marche, or take an independent walking tour of Lake Iseo.

5. Thailand

Thailand remains an exotic destination for UK couples and in its favour are high standards of service and relatively affordable long-haul prices. Most couples either combine the capital, Bangkok, with a trip down south to islands like Koh Samui or Phuket or head north to the culturally rich heartlands of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai with everything from elephant treks to cookery schools. You may also want to consider neighboring Cambodia and Vietnam.

6. Africa

Africa offers honeymooners so many dimensions that it makes a memorable, multi-faceted honeymoon a reality. The combination of a safari followed by a week of beach relaxation is a popular choice. A Tanzania safari and a beach stay on the Arabia-meets-Africa island of Zanzibar is a great combination. Or you can safari and sunbathe on the beach within Kenya itself.

7. Mauritius

Mauritius was once known as a five-star destination with three-star hotels. That has changed totally with the arrival of some superb resort hotels that are very popular with honeymooners. The Indian Ocean island has loads going for it. From the UK, it’s a direct overnight flight with minimal jet lag.
