1. Gros Islet, Saint Lucia

Where you go on your honeymoon is important - this will be your first vacation together as a married couple. The island of Saint Lucia can be a great option.

One of the most popular areas to explore in Saint Lucia is Gros Islet in the north. Gros Islet is French for 'a large island'. Many of Saint Lucia's most gorgeous beaches, all-inclusive resorts, and restaurants are located in this area. Though Gros Islet is quite understated, honeymooners can enjoy the lively nightlife, dine at some of the island's finest restaurants, and head off on exciting excursions.

Want to honeymoon in Saint Lucia? The best time to visit Saint Lucia is between mid-December to mid-April. This is the peak season for travel to Saint Lucia and it is recognized as the 'dry' season. This basically means there's less chance of rain during this time. May to November tends to be a bit quieter as this is the island's 'wet' season.

Tokyo, Japan is a mix of hustle and bustle and serenity. This is best evidenced by the active city life that is contrasted with natural spaces with beautiful Japanese gardens. Expect rich culture mixed in with opportunities to spend time at natural hot springs, spas, and even some of the hottest clubs if you're looking for some excitement. The best time to go to Tokyo for a honeymoon is in the Spring. During the months of March and April, you can witness the cherry blossoms at their finest. They'll be in full bloom, and so will your love. September to November is also quite the scenic time to visit!

What to do in Tokyo

Honeymooners in Tokyo may very likely find themselves drawn to cultural things that they can't do at home - at least not with the same authentic feel. You might enjoy strolling in one of the charming garden locations in Tokyo hand-in-hand with your spouse, just breathing in the tranquility. Some of the most mesmerizing garden locations in Tokyo include Shinjuku Gyoen, Hamarikyu Gardens, and the Imperial Palace East Gardens.

Japan is also well known for its luxury spas. You can visit one of these while in Tokyo and take advantage of the couples' treatments that are sure to be on offer. Many of these spas can be found in the most glamorous hotels and services include massages and other spa treatments. After your spa date, you can head out to explore the city. Get dressed up and have a splurge-worthy meal at any one of the city's 230 Michelin-starred restaurants!

Where to stay in Tokyo

In Tokyo, you can choose between luxury hotels and more moderately priced options. This city offers options for highly-rated Japanese brands, as well as some hotel brands you may have never heard of. Some of the luxury options include Hoshinoya Tokyo, Ryokan Kamogawa Asakusa, or the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo Hotel. Budget-friendly accommodations include Tokyo Ueno Touganeya, Remm Hibiya, or Hotel Sunroute Higashi Shinjuku.

While there are a lot of options, not all are located in the heart of Tokyo. In fact, many of the choices that might appeal to the budget conscious are located outside of central Tokyo. If location is important to you, make sure to check that out before booking a hotel. Staying in central Tokyo can make it much easier to see some of the best attractions of the city. Wherever you decide to stay, you can get from place to place easily using the public transportation system.


14. Fiji

Fiji is one of those destinations you should visit at least once. This is an archipelago off the coast of Australia and north of New Zealand. Fiji consists of about 300 islands and 540 islets. With thriving marine life, crystal-clear waters, and lots of exciting adventures, honeymooners can enjoy a getaway in Fiji that'll be truly memorable.

Couples who want to dive as part of their honeymoon will absolutely love Fiji. This destination is most famous for the Great Astrolabe Reef which measures around 60 miles. Divers of all skill levels can find a part of this reef to explore which is great news for honeymooners. Aside from diving, Fiji will reel you in with its beautiful mountainside views and abundant culture.

If you're planning a honeymoon in Fiji, keep in mind that the best time to visit is from May to September. This time of year is considered the dry season, so there's less of a chance of rain spoiling your vacation.

What to do in Fiji

During your Fiji honeymoon, some popular things to do include visiting beaches or waterfalls, snorkeling, and scuba diving. If you're interested in diving, you can start with basic snorkeling or scuba sessions and work your way to more thrilling encounters that involve swimming with sharks. The latter will appeal most to couples who really want to push the limits.

While in Fiji, Biausevu Waterfall is a beautiful place to visit. The trail to this waterfall is well-maintained and cliff-jumping opportunities are available. If you don't mind traveling for about an hour and a half more, you can spend some time at Natadola Beach on the same day. Later, take a romantic drive along King's Road to see some amazing scenery. A trip to Bouma National Heritage Park can also be inspiring.

This dive site is great for both snorkeling and scuba diving. Travelers who dive here are usually left raving about how this reef is actually shaped like a banana and about the captivating views of the coral and marine life. Both beginners and more experienced divers can get something out of a Banana Reef excursion.

As the Maldives is an island destination, you can expect lots of seafood on the menus of some of the best restaurants. Visit the Male Fish Market for fresh catches. For the best experience, go to the market in the early afternoon when the fishermen return with their catches. When you've had your fill of beaches and seafood, visit the National Museum of the Maldives to learn about the history and culture of this destination.
