View departures from




1. Bahamas

Though much of the Bahamas has become built-up from its success at attracting American tourists, there are still plenty of places for seclusion. Long walks on beautiful beaches and luxurious hotels make this an ideal honeymoon destination.

2. Barbados

For the perfect beach holiday, look no further. Water sports galore and draw-dropping scenery combine with great music and delicious food. The Platinum Coast boasts white sand and clear, turquoise waters while the Atlantic coast has a rugged beauty

3. Mauritius

Most famous for its white sands and the crystal clarity of the Ocean lapping its shores, the overwhelming beauty of Mauritius lies also in the majestic mountain ranges, nature reserves and wildlife parks that make the island a paradise for couples.

4. St Lucia

St Lucia is one of the world’s most romantic destinations, with a beautiful coastline dotted with isolated beaches and coves it offers the perfect opportunity to escape and relax amongst the coconut trees and rolling surf; all set against a backdrop of the setting Caribbean sun and a perfect ocean skyline.

5. Sardinia

Largely unspoilt, Sardinia is a good place to get away from the crowds, especially if you steer away from the popular resorts. The beaches and the coastline of the Costa Verde are some of the best in the Mediterranean.

6. Reykjavik

Hot springs, gushing geisers and glacier trekking by day, cool bars, iced vodka and warm fires by night. Reykjavik certainly offers something out of the ordinary, and for those willing to venture out of city limits, remoteness and seclusion abound.

7. Paris

Ahh Paris. For honeymoons on a budget, you won’t find much better. Though not the cheapest city in the world, long walks by the Seine and the views from the Sacree Coeur are free and epitomise the city’s romantic qualities. Avoid the tourist traps and an unforgettable weekend awaits.
