Your Honeymoon is the ideal time to go on that once in a lifetime trip you always dreamed of!

It gives you a chance to unwind and enjoy each other’s company after all the planning and excitement of your wedding. It’s going to be the most memorable trip you both take and your first as a married couple!

When it comes to picking a Honeymoon Destination it can be difficult to know where to start. To give you some inspiration I’ve put together a list of the top 5 Honeymoon destinations being booked this year.

1. Maldives

The Maldives is at the top of most people’s lists when they think of the ultimate, luxurious Honeymoon. It’s easy to see why! Stay in a stunning water bungalow and take in some of the world’s most beautiful sunsets. Savour delicious cuisine and experience world-class water sports or relax in some of the world’s finest spas in some of the most incredible beach resorts in the world. There are over 1000 islands to choose from which means you’ll find a resort to suit everyone.

2. South Africa

From breathtaking mountain scenery to world-class surf breaks, Cape Town, Winelands, safari, hikes and beaches, South Africa has it all.

Depending on the type of Honeymoon you’re looking for you can be sure to find something that suits you and your partner. With bungee jumping and shark cage diving for the more adventurous or sipping wine in the vineyards of Franschhoek and Stellenbosch and spa treatments in luxurious 5* hotels overlooking the beach for the more relaxed.

No two Honeymoons to South Africa are the same as there is so much to see and do there.

3. Cruise Going on a cruise is a perfect way to tick a few countries off your bucket list without having to constantly pack and unpack or waste time at airports. Most cruise ships are destinations in their own right and offer more than even the biggest and best all-inclusive resorts. Cruise lines are constantly updating and offer such amazing experiences onboard from casinos and spas to west-end shows, zip lines, water parks, rock climbing, and nightclubs -the list is endless. It’s the ideal Honeymoon for couples where one wants to chill out and relax and the other wants to go exploring. With so much choice, it’s all about finding the perfect ship for you!

4. Bali Home to glorious palm-fringed beaches, soaring volcanoes, ancient temples and friendly people, you’ll soon see why Bali is often referred to as the ‘Island of The Gods’. Venture inland and you’ll also discover there’s much more to Bali than meets the eye. With traditional villages, beautiful rainforests, and breathtaking cultural sites to explore, Bali really does offer something for everyone. When it comes to Honeymoon destinations, Bali offers the perfect balance between luxury and island life.

5. Mexico

Mexico blends lavish all-inclusive beach resorts with a rich culture that is sure to thrill you with its music, food, and drinks.

Away from the beaches, there’s a wide section of charming towns and villages for you to visit and experience the traditional Mexican way of life.

A Honeymoon in Mexico allows you to have a lavish, luxurious experience without blowing your budget. Ideal for couples who want to experience a thriving culture and leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.
