Looking
for that perfect honeymoon trip for you and the one
you love? Then take a look at our list of the
world’s top honeymoon destinations. For unrivalled
luxury, romance and relaxation these really are the
crème de la crème, whether you want the privacy of a
top hotel room or the isolation of a deserted beach,
the trip of a lifetime awaits. |
|
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. 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.
|
|
3. 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.
|
|
4. New York |
|
|
Peace and quiet it isn’t, but New York
certainly offers plenty to see and do and
seclusion is possible if only in parts of
leafy Central Park and the city’s opulent
hotel rooms. Beware, however, of your
romantic break turning into the shopping
trip from hell.
|
|
5. 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.
|
|
6. 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.
|
|
7. Banff - Lake Louise |
|
|
Ski or snowboard all day, then warm up in
front of the fire when you return –
Alberta’s Banff ski resort in Canada’s Rocky
Mountains is well geared for romance,
especially the chalets and gourmet dining
available at Lake Louise.
|
|
8. 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.
|
|
9. Venice |
|
|
Too obvious a choice? Maybe. But there’s no
doubting Venice’s romantic qualities, from
its elegant architecture to its winding
canals. Just ensure you choose the right
time of year to visit – coach-loads of
tourists tend to take the edge off a
romantic getaway.
|
|
10. Shanghai |
|
|
Admittedly Shanghai is not the most obvious
choice for a honeymoon destination, but what
this vibrant and cosmopolitan city doesn’t
have to offer simply isn’t worth having. To
truly be on the cutting edge of travel head
to the most exciting city in Asia, and be
treated to culture, luxury and the
effervescent romance of the Far East.
