Here are a few ideas.
5: Niseko
Where do you imagine taking a honeymoon? Somewhere warm, no doubt, filled with beaches and umbrella drinks. But what about taking a winter honeymoon to Niseko?
Known throughout Japan for its snow and ski resorts, Niseko is a great place to unplug from the rest of the world and devote yourself to your new partner. You can cuddle in the mountains, kiss on the bridges and hold hands while strolling through the towns. Niseko is also home to onsens, or outdoor hot springs, where you can chase the chill from your bones while surrounded by a picturesque portrait of nature.
4: The Grampian Mountains
Located high in the skies of Scotland, the Grampians are a massive mountain range of unknown size and origin. No one is quite sure how far they stretch, but each year thousands of visitors flock there regardless, hoping to claim a piece of the mystery for themselves.
You’ll find tons to do here, including hiking, camping, swimming and kayaking. Grampians accommodation is also some of the finest in the region, offering cozy cabins for lovebirds or outdoor camping for thrill-seeking couple. If you’re looking for an adventure with a sense of romance, this is the place to experience it.
3: Venice
What’s more romantic than a gondola ride in the City of Canals? Or perhaps you know it as the Floating City, or the Queen of the Adriatic, or La Dominante. Venice has worn many faces in its long and dramatic history, but its romance can’t be denied, particularly for newlyweds when everything is fresh and wonderful. Dine on a cruise ship overlooking the waters of the Grand Canal; take a stroll through the street performers of St Mark’s Square; sip wine under the stars before taking in a show at the La Fenice operahouse. It’s a city worth every word of its reputation.
2: Huangshan
These ancient Chinese mountains are beautiful enough for any tourist, but they gain special significance for honeymooners when you participate in “love locking.” It’s a practice that has gained international attention for its romanticism and legend: According to the story, two lovers threw themselves off the mountain when their families wouldn’t accept their relationship. These days, to commemorate their love, couples climb the mountain and add a padlock to a wire fence before throwing the keys deep into the valleys below, sealing their fates together forever.
1: Maui
One of the most popular honeymoon destinations in the world, Maui beckons more than a million visitors each year with its palm trees and white sand beaches. The view from the ocean is like something off a postcard, and the skyline has inspired countless movies and television shows.
If you’re looking for a beautiful beach getaway worthy of your vows, look no further than Maui. It’s popular for a reason, and you and you partner deserve only the best as you face a new future together.
