After a couple has officially tied the knot, the next thing they look forward to is celebrating the start of their marriage on a honeymoon vacation. Many couples will travel abroad for their ultimate postnuptial getaway. For those looking for seclusion even just for a couple of days, the beach has always been a haven. Here is a short list of the best islands that you can consider for your honeymoon.
The island nation of the Maldives has been a frontier of world-class paradisiacal islands. The picture-perfect private villas floating still in crystal-clear blue waters, alabaster white sand beaches and spectacular sunsets hiding into the horizon make the experience truly one for the books.
The Maldives has long been popular with honeymooners looking for seclusion, but it is an equally inviting sight for adventurers looking to quench their thirst for scuba diving and snorkeling. Despite its nearly remote location (with no direct flights from and to the United States), an immense number of tourists brave the seas and endure the many layovers just to experience this Asian paradise.
This archipelago shares fascinating characteristics with other islands in the Indian Ocean such as Madagascar, Mauritius and the Maldives. What sets the Seychelles apart from its kind is its distinct beauty and grandeur. It is slowly emerging as the best honeymoon destination, especially for interracial couples. Its powdery white sand beach, pristine turquoise blue water and top-rated resorts and hotels make for a good place to jumpstart a new life as a married couple.
With jaw-dropping tropical landscapes that look like something straight out of a movie scene, Seychelles offers a dreamy honeymoon experience that foreign brides will go crazy for.
Being home to Greek mythology, Santorini in Greece has some myths and stories of its own. It is said to be the original home of the lost city of Atlantis, which long ago disappeared into the ocean's depths, and is now guarded by iconic whitewashed homes perched on a caldera cliff facing the exquisitely clear ocean of the Aegean Sea.
With its dramatic sights, rugged landscapes, crystal clear Mediterranean waters, and luxury hotels, it comes as no surprise that Santorini is one of the most sought-after honeymoon destinations in the world.
Bali is topping the list when it comes to luxurious honeymoon destinations. You can live like kings and queens for a week in Bali. This island province in Indonesia offers an array of experiences that will surely tickle everyone’s fancy. While some Asian women would prefer to spend their honeymoon in their own country, you could never go wrong in choosing Bali either.
You can set the mood for relaxation on a beach vacation in Uluwatu or wake up in an exclusive villa or suite high above the jungle in Zenubud or stress out in world-renowned party spots like the Gili Islands, Seminyak, and Canggu.
Whether you are a surfer or not, Siargao Island in the Philippines is definitely an ideal place for honeymoon. If you prefer the inexpensive honeymoon vacation where you wouldn’t only get to spend time with your new wife but also with the locals, Siargao is definitely the way to go.
Facing directly against the Pacific ocean, Siargao is home to massive waves which is why it is dubbed as the Surfing Capital of the Philippines. Surfing, however, isn’t the only thing that this island has to offer, there are also plenty of coves, caves and cliff jumping spots if you are into those sorts of activities.
But what makes Siargao an entirely different experience from other honeymoon destinations is its people. The people in Siargao are its best and most priceless asset. This is where you’ll get to see the kindest, most accommodating and welcoming people you’ll ever get to meet.
Honeymoon is more than just a vacation. It marks the start of your life as a married couple. So it is important that you choose a honeymoon destination where you can make great memories together. The kind of memories that you will tell your grandkids about.
