If you’ve started planning your big day then you’ve probably started to daydream about jet setting somewhere totally luxurious together for your honeymoon. But, where do you start? With so many places offering romantic getaways for newlyweds, how do you know which is right for both of you? To help you make your decision, I’ve found the 5 most popular honeymoon destinations and why.

Positano

Notoriously known for it’s breathtaking coastal views, Positano is ranked one the highest honeymoon destinations. Situated on the Amalfi coast, you are a short boat trip over to Capri (which again is beautiful with it’s nature, cuisine and designer shopping) and are surrounded by stunning mountains, pebble beachfront and narrow streets lines with boutiques and authentic restaurants.

Positano is famously known for it’s ripe and sweet lemons which make their delicacy so fresh and delicious! You’ll be sat on a cliffside front whilst soaking in the stunning views around you, listening to the clinking of wine glasses, mild chatter and laughter or many other holiday makers.

It’s beachfront (Spiaggia) homes a romantic scenery in the daytime and a lively nightlife of bars and restaurants in the evening. It’s no surprise that you have probably seen many celebrities and bloggers visit this beach and it’s one not to miss!

If you enjoy hot sunny days then visiting Positano between June and August is the best time of the year for you. From April, the spring flowers are in bloom and make this village even more breathtaking!

California

If you are a couple which enjoys landscapes and activities on a holiday then California is one for you.

The state offers exciting and exhilarating excursoins such as; Yosemite National Park where you can soak up the most breathtaking Forrests and waterfalls, a hot air balloon ride over Napa and stop to visit wineries and head over to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. These are just a few of the many amazing things to experience when you’re over there!

Enjoy the romantic scenes whilst you hike through national parks and create unforgettable memories to last a lifetime!

Maldives

The Maldives is named as a honeymoon hotspot and one of the most romantic destinations in the world and its no wonder so many people agree due to its crisp and clear waters filled with vibrant sea life, white sandy beaches and luxury accommodation.

Each resort is located on its very own private island, creating an exclusive and peaceful envoirnment. Whilst the island offers some excursions, the islands are typically very small therefore holidayers that choose to visit the Maldives are looking for a very relaxing and quiet break.

You have probably seen online some of the stunning and luxurious accommodations that the Maldives offer. You can totally splash out on a private overwater villa built on the beautiful ocean or opt for a hotel close/on the beachfront. Either way, you will not be disappointed with the view!

If you’re looking to really commemorate the honeymoon and do something extra special then you can visit their underwater restaurant in Hurawalhi or spend a night in a “beach bubble” over on the Finolhu island.

Japan

Japan is a dream honeymoon destination where you can experience ancient traditions, five star hospitality, world class cuisine and fantastic accommodations.

Many holiday goers travel around Japan per trip as there is just so much to see and experience! Usually starting with the busiest part first, Tokyo, where daytime and nightlife is electric! Try local cuisine on the street food markets and absorb the culture by taking a trip to the historic temple “Senso-ji”.

Whilst Tokyo is busy and energetic, you can take trips over to Matsumoto and Hakone to enjoy the amazing mountains and retreat experiences to fully unwind. You can relax in one of their luxury spas, enjoy their iconic sushi and explore more of what Japan has to offer!

Hawaii

Hawaii really is a holiday destination for all types of holiday goers; spectacular beaches, luxury hotels and world class hospitality, breathtaking sites and a beautiful ocean which is a host for an adventurers playground!

You’ll be sure to feel completely welcomed and looked after by the people of Hawaii making it such an attractive place for newly weds to visit. As well as soaking in their vibrant and positive lifestyle, you will be amazed by the wildlife and sea life it has to offer.

Hawaii is best to visit between March and September when it sees the least rain and the highest temperatures.
