I hope you enjoyed my list of some of the most romantic honeymoon destinations in the world! Where did you go to for your honeymoon?
I’m a freelance journalist/writer/content marketer with BA Hons in Journalism.
Every one of these places is firmly on my bucket list, not only for the romance of the locations, but for the beauty and the adventure! This was a great list!
Italy, Greece and Barbados are definitely on me and my husbands travel list. We didn’t take a fancy honeymoon but once our family is grown we will spend more time traveling again.
These all look beautiful! My husband and I didn’t take a proper honeymoon, so we are taking about doing an anniversary trip to Sandals Jamaica
Italy and Greece are on the top of my bucket list. I hope to visit both before my time ends. These places all look amazing.
I’d be happy going to any of these places. I’d really like to go to Italy–mostly for the food.
I went to Jamaica for my honeymoon. Sandals all-inclusive resort was a great vacation!
Santorini is definitely at the top of my bucket list and I think it would make an amazing honeymoon destination! I just got back from Turks and Caicos and I would recommend a honeymoon there as well.
If I ever find someone and get married again I will have to consider these amazing places. You make them look and sound all so incredible.
These all look romantic! If only my husband and I can get married again, I would choose among the first 3 destinations you listed here. Haha
I haven’t been to Boracay or Bora Bora (one day for that one) but I’ve been to all the others and yes they are very romantic places. I would probably add Bali, Indonesia, Phuket or Chiang Mai Thailand and anywhere on the French Riviera– OMG the sunsets, food and ambiance was amazing. Unfortunately (or well, at least you spent time there) I vacationed on Santorini with my kids and not my husband who was deployed at the time. Trust me, its wasted romance when you go to Santorini with two young boys. lol
When/If I actually get married again, I really want to go to Italy. I am a chef, so food is pretty much my life and the food in Italy is amazing. I would love to explore Venice and Rome and the countryside to find different types of cuisine!
Se manifique!!! hope to take my bae to all of these one day. my fav is Barbados
Santorini and Italy, you can never go wrong with picking these locations! They’re both so lovely and you’re also going to fall in love with the place itself.
YES to all of these locations! They’re all so awesome and lovely. I like going to the beach with my husband, there’s just something really romantic about it.
Boracay is really more for young adults. I think El Nido would be a better honeymoon destination or perhaps Sumilon island in Cebu here in the Philippines. 🙂
