The Most Unique Honeymoon Ideas

Culturally rich, with an enchanting landscape and renowned hospitality, Morocco is among the world’s best luxury honeymoon destinations and a bucket-list staple. When you’re not riding camels through the Sahara desert, you’ll get to explore the medinas of Fez and Marrakech and dine Berber-style under the stars. There will be plenty of photo opportunities along the way, including in Chefchaouen – Morocco’s Blue City – and at the Dadès Gorges, deep in the Atlas Mountains.

They’re not your standard honeymoon destinations, but the numerous natural hot springs and craggy Caucasus Mountains – dotted with picture-book Orthodox chapels – make Georgia a worthy inclusion on our list of best honeymoon trips. Perhaps most popular, however, is its diverse cuisine – something this nine-day journey gives you ample time to experience. Feasting at a farmer’s market, enjoying lunch in Old Tbilisi and trying your hand at traditional winemaking – and drinking – are just a few of the activities you can look forward to.

Snorkel, surf and soak up Balinese culture with the ultimate adventure honeymoon on the Island of the Gods. Lasting 12 days, this trip includes a sunrise trek to the summit of Mount Batur, swimming at the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls and a visit to a sacred temple where you’ll take part in a traditional Balinese ritual. There’s also the chance to go snorkelling with sea turtles off Gili Trawangan – one of three tiny islands near Lombok – and take a surfing lesson in Canggu.

For a honeymoon full of culture, you can’t go wrong with this 12-day trip from Hanoi to Hoi An. Treat your taste buds to traditional street food at bustling night markets, experience rural farm life in Mai Chau, and marvel at a diverse landscape of rice paddies, misty mountains and tropical forests. You’ll also get to discover the Imperial City of Hue and cruise along the Perfume River to the Thien Mu Pagoda, where you’ll experience a royal tea ceremony.

Discover the best of Central America on our nine-day adventure to Belize and Guatemala – it’s certainly a one-of-a-kind honeymoon. Snorkel at the Belize Barrier Reef, a Unesco World Heritage site, before taking a boat tour on the Monkey River – keeping your eyes peeled for wildlife – and trekking through the jungle. Next, head to Guatemala, where you’ll wander the pretty cobblestone streets of Antigua before exploring Lake Atitlan by kayak.

Go off the grid during your honeymoon on our nine-day getaway to Kerala in India. Start with a sunset cruise around Kochi harbour, followed by a Keralan cooking class. Then head into the Cardamom Hills, trekking through tea plantations and along mountain trails. After all that exercise, kick back and relax on the serene backwaters of Kumarakom. Your hotel here specialises in Ayurvedic spa treatments, so there’s plenty of time for some blissful R&R.
