Flights > News > # 2081 (13/02/2009)
10: Malaysia This gem in Southeast Asia is a relatively new addition to a list of honeymoon paradises but Malaysia is carving itself a very fine niche in the Asian wedding market. Images of towering cities, jungles and elephants sit in brochures alongside snapshots of some of the world’ finest – and cleanest – beaches. The country’s rich mix of culture ensures every bite of the Malaysian apple is tasty and exotic and a delight for the senses. More than 200 islands serve a more traditional slice of honeymoon but cities like Malacca and Kuala Lumpur offer more adventurous newlyweds a deliciously alternative tale to tell when the honeymoon is over.

9: Tuscany Italy will always come up smelling of roses (and olives and oranges) in the romance stakes. A honeymoon in the northwest region of Tuscany conjures images of rolling green hills, wineries, pastel homes, fields of sunflowers, azure Mediterranean skies and hilltop churches. The reality is on a par with the picture postcard image. Sipping the local wine, taking in the beautiful scenery and tasting the local specialities are just a few suggestions to while away a lazy Tuscan day on a charming Italian honeymoon. Tuscany does boast a stunning coastline but a honeymoon away from the beach is what it does best.

8: Tahiti The Pacific Ocean paradise isle of Tahiti really is a getaway from the rest of the world. Its 400 square mile interior serves up an abundant bounty of lush morsels in the shape of waterfalls and mountains and deep valleys. The beaches are where most of the happy honeymooners can be found. A dizzying palette of blue and turquoise blesses the waters around the island and an exotic lustre makes the whole island shimmer in the middle of the ocean. Polynesian spas offer the latest tropical treatments – if Tahiti itself isn’t relaxation enough.

7: Cancun A honeymoon with a spicy kick: Cancun is Mexico’s Las Vegas in every way. Marriages can be taken here and there’s a glitzy modern edge to the resort that offers all-inclusive treats around the clock. It has been a honeymoon destination for as long as it’s been a tourist destination and there is a plethora of resorts and hotels to cater to a honeymooner’s every whim. Discos, shops, bars, beach sports and a range of other attractions might steal newlyweds away from the beach and Cancun offers a number of worthy diversions just a few hours away - the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza (one of the new Seven Wonders) being just one.

6: St Lucia Many couples are cutting out the middleman and heading to the Caribbean paradise island of St Lucia to take vows on the beach and settle straight into the honeymoon. The twin towers of Gros Piton and Petit Piton loom over the island and provide the perfect backdrop for a few honeymoon snaps. As achingly gorgeous as the rest of the Caribbean is, no one can put up a fight against the honeymoon potential of St Lucia. It is the paradise island that newlyweds dream of to toast the start of their marriage.

5: Zanzibar The stunning island of Zanzibar snuggles neatly into Tanzania off the east coast of Africa and temperatures in summer sizzle. The white sandy beaches and reputation as a spicy spice island are providing Zanzibar the perfect opportunity to offer a harmonious marriage of beach and safari, with the plains of Tanzania temptingly close. Combine that with Zanzibar’s diving credentials and there’s an all action honeymoon just waiting to happen. Of course if adrenaline is not required, then the beaches, palm trees and sunsets will hit all the right relaxation notes.

4: Mauritius Mauritius hogs an enviable spot in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean to the east of Africa. It also boasts an enviable spot as one of the favourite honeymoon destinations in the world. Crystal waters lapping on to pristine beaches is just one of the reasons why. Other reasons include exotic wildlife, tropical flowers, mountain ranges, private resorts, world-class diving, spas and an exciting and eclectic blend of the world’s finest cuisine. A honeymoon in Mauritius will never be bland with such a splendid platter of appetisers on offer.

3: Venice Everything sounds romantic in Italian. Venezia -the name of the enchanting city itself rolls off the tongue with a touch more poetry than Venice. The watery city positively drips with romance and tales of love are told on every corner. Being steered along the network of charming canals via gondola with the navigator offering a spot of atmospheric opera is the ultimate in honeymoon transportation. Sit and hold hands in Piazza San Marco with a pricey coffee in your reach or stop a while on one of Venice’s 400 bridges and simply watch the world go by through the eyes of a newlywed.

2: Seychelles The words Seychelles and honeymoon go hand in hand, like a newlywed couple heading down the aisle. The Seychelles – 115 talc-white shores surrounding lush islands – is honeymoon postcard perfect. Water sports are popular here, but if lazing on a beach is the goal, then the Seychelles will hit the back of the net. The main islands of Mahe and Preslin offer the greatest facilities but luxury resorts are springing up across the archipelago and there is certainly a honeymoon heaven for every couple.

1: Maldives Like a string of beautifully perfect pearls lying across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives became a honeymoon classic some years ago. It remains near the top of the list for loved-up newlyweds looking to live the castaway life to relax after the wedding. The main island of Male provides a gateway to the 1,190 coral islands dotted among sparkling seas. Nearly 90 exclusive tourist resorts pepper the Maldives and many carry an equally exclusive price tag. But what price diamond sands, clear waters, top service and palm-fringed luxury
