Newlyweds give a lot of thought and planning for one of the most valued and anticipated events in their life – their honeymoon. It is such a memorable experience in the life of the couple that many of them give the same amount of attention to this as they give to their wedding itself. Many factors should be considered when choosing a honeymoon destination, such as the couple’s interests and what the destination offers, and of course, their budget. The choice must be based on what the couple love to do and how they intend to spend their time.

The following are ten very popular honeymoon destinations:

1. Hawaii – It is the number one honeymoon destination for newlyweds because of the beautiful coastlines, green forests, volcanoes, white beaches and spectacular resorts. The tropical breezes, and the native culture of the islands offer a romantic, relaxed atmosphere perfect for honeymooners.
2. Mexico – This country offers a lot to honeymooners: the posh resorts along the Baja coast, excellent shopping, a taste of the Mayan culture, and excellent cuisine.
3. Jamaica – This is the place for never ending nightlife for night owls, but it also offers lush forests and breath-taking waterfalls for the adventurous.
4. St. Lucia – It offers a bit of France and a bit of Britain. Honeymooners will enjoy the place if they love the beauty of nature – from the volcano to the rainforest – to the clear blue water teeming with marine life. Snorkeling is excellent and spending time ‘cozied up’ in a hammock while sipping a tropical drink is incomparable.
5. Bahamas – The white-sandy beaches of the 700 islands that make up the Bahamas are a great place to spend a honeymoon. A variety of accommodations are available here to meet any budget. The islands are easily accessible as they are only a short distance from the U.S. mainland.
6. Dominican Republic – Boasting the second largest economy in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is the largest nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago. The country has been a popular honeymoon destination because of its ecotourism that showcases the beauty of the country in a very affordable way.
7. Tahiti – It simply is paradise! It boasts many beautiful, popular islands like the world-famous Bora Bora and Moorea that showcase their natural beauty and Polynesian hospitality. A honeymoon in paradise…what could be better!
8. Fiji – It offers over 300 islands and white powdery beaches lined with beautiful palm trees, with views of lush, green mountains. The warm tropical breeze and its secluded resorts are perfect for couples and honeymooners.
9. Antigua – If honeymooners are looking for the perfect climate, then Antigua is the place for them. It offers an ideal tropical destination with beautiful beaches and perfect snorkeling and diving sites.
10. Italy – If the idea of a European honeymoon titillates your imagination, Italy, the land of amore, is the perfect destination.
