A Honeymoon for Every Month!

January: Caribbean

Winter in the Caribbean is warm and dry, with no risk of hurricanes. Head to Barbados and pretend you’re in a tropical Great Britain, with more British customs and flavour than any other Caribbean island – including driving on the left hand side! Walk hand in hand along the incredibly romantic Bathsheba Beach, the very same beach Queen Elizabeth II strolled down many years ago.

Stay: 4* Silver Sands Hotel

February: Mexico

Mexico has been a favourite of honeymooners for decades. It has everything you could wish for from a romantic getaway: white sand beaches and luxurious hotels in a tropical paradise. For romantic seclusion mixed with a little excitement and some serious sizzle, the 5* Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun Resort rests along a sugar white beach on the sparkling Caribbean sea, but is near enough to Cancun that you can easily indulge in a bit of partying before heading back to your room!

Stay: 5* Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun

March: Dubai

When the soft smells of perfume and spice souks fill your lungs, you know you’re in Dubai. Arguably the most luxurious city in the world, Dubai honeymoons are perfect for hedonists, from the sparkling hotels to the gourmet restaurants, from the glittering man made beaches to the internationally renowned nightclubs. But Dubai is not all man-made luxury; a desert safari will take you far from the glitterati to romantic seclusion. Just you, your lover... and your camel!

Stay: 5* Raffles Dubai Hotel

April: Maldives, Florida

For the ultimate honeymoon destination, the Maldives are hard to beat. Surrounded by sparkling lagoons, softer than soft white sand and swaying palms, and dotted with luxurious resorts which offer complete seclusion, where you can enjoy each other’s company with no distractions but the sound of the waves at your front doorstep, you’ll feel like it’s just the two of you on a desert island. Alternatively, Florida is a great place to have your fairytale honeymoon, whether you want to roll around on a secluded beach or relive your childhoods together at Walt Disney World!

Stay: Maldives – Bandos Island Resort

Florida: Tuscana Orlando Resort, Kissimmee

May: Malta

Whether you’ve been to Malta before or not, a honeymoon in Malta will be like nothing you’ve ever experienced. One of Malta’s unique selling points is that you can have several holidays in one, and it’s only a few hours’ flight away. Relax together and be pampered, venture underwater and experience the silence and beauty of a hidden waterworld.

Stay: Westin Dragonara Resort

June: Greek Islands

The Greek islands are at their hottest in July and August, but June is the best time to miss the crowds, particularly families on holiday. The Greek islands, in particular Corfu, Crete or Santorini, offer the most idyllic location for a honeymoon at a fraction of the cost of a Caribbean honeymoon. Relax in a luxury hotel or a secluded villa, surrounded by stunning scenery, breathtaking sunsets and wonderful seclusion.

Stay: Grand Mediterranea Hotel

July: Italy, Any Mediterranean country

To quote a friend who recently went to Lanzarote, you cannot fail to be moved by the incredible scenery. It’s almost like being on the moon, but with beaches. If you don’t want to travel for hours and hours to get to your honeymoon hotspot, go short haul and make the most of a year round perfect climate, and enough secluded coastline for some very intimate newlywed encounters!

Stay: Hesperia Lanzarote

August: Croatia

Croatia’s rocky coastline makes for some dramatically romantic honeymoon photos, and the one thousand plus islands off the coast are perfect for doing some loved up island hopping. Cities such as Zadar and Splitt boast beautiful architecture, quaint alleys and wonderful restaurants. Best of all, Croatia is wonderfully inexpensive, so you can splash out without worrying about having to take out a second mortgage!

Stay: Pinija Hotel, Petrcane

September: Egypt, Turkey

Temperatures in Egypt and Turkey start to fall around September; happily, the same goes for the crowds. Egypt’s history, monuments and climate make it a fantastic choice for a honeymoon. Add to this the miles and miles of stunning beaches along the Red Sea Riviera, the wonderful cuisine, perhaps a romantic desert safari before a candlelit dinner in a Bedouin tent under the stars, and of course the plethora of exquisite hotels to choose from, and you’ve got a pretty perfect honeymoon package

Stay: Royal Savoy Hotel, Sharm El Sheikh

October: Mauritius, Seychelles

As Britain starts to get cold, take off to the tropical warmth of Mauritius, where it’s warm and dry with very low humidity. Home to luxurious beachside hotels, bleached white sand and turquoise waters, it delivers the most perfect honeymoons time and time again. Whatever you want from your honeymoon, from romantic seclusion with gourmet dining to an activity filled holiday with scuba diving and jetskiing, Mauritius has it all.

Stay: La Palmeraie

November: Goa, Bahamas

Goa is enchanting. A honeymooner’s dream. Its beaches stretch on forever, the food is out of this world, the people are charming. Watch the sun set on a deserted beach as you sup coconut water straight from the shell. Accommodation ranges from tempting, castaway-esque beachfront huts to luxurious sprawling resorts. Wherever you stay, you won’t leave without being firmly under Goa’s spell.

Stay: Ticlo Hotel

December: Thailand

Honeymoons in Thailand’s quieter spots provide the perfect respite from Bangkok’s bustling streets. Phuket offers a huge choice of hotels and resorts, but the Centara Karon Resort is one of the very best, with terraces offering absolutely incredible views across azure waters, and fantastic staff at hand to tend to your every single need. A favourite of honeymooners for years, it’s a perfect place to start your newlywed lives together.

Stay: Centara Resort Phuket
