Choosing the perfect honeymoon destination is one of the most thrilling parts in planning the wedding. You see, after the tiring but very special and memorable wedding day ceremony comes the most awaited day of relaxation with your partner, and that is the honeymoon.
Where is your favorite honeymoon destination? According to various travel agents and also my research, these 10 places are the top honeymoon spots in the world. I have ranked them in order of popularity.

10. Bali Indonesia
Most of the foreigners whom you can see in Bali are couples celebrating their honeymoon. Since 1970s, Bali has always been in the top list for honeymoon destinations.
In Bali, you and your partner can visit the famous white sands of the Kuta beach and party while enjoying the buzzing night-life. What attracts the tourists is the combination of the Balinese' rich culture, fine beaches, breath-taking landscapes and friendly locals. Plus, staying in Bali is quite cheap and affordable, perfect for those budget travelers.

9. Jamaica
This country is the third largest island in the Caribbean. Honeymooners that desire an all-inclusive vacation package - from food, drinks, accommodation, activities and entertainment - this place is definitely an option. Jamaica is truly one of the most romantic destinations for honeymooners. Here you can spend your nights frolicking in secluded ponds, or watch the beautiful sunset while walking on the beach.
Jamaica boasts of its white sand beaches and clear blue waters, the Luminous Lagoon in Falmouth, the Alligator pond in South Coast. Hike down the Dunn's river falls and visit the Bob Marley museum or swim with the dolphins in the Dolphin Cove.

8. Tahiti
Who says you can't enjoy a nice vacation in the south pacific? In Tahiti, they offer all-inclusive packages perfect for newlyweds who are looking for a more private and relaxed setting for affordable prices.
Tahiti is located in the archipelago of Society Islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean. This island resulted from a volcanic activity and is the largest island in the Windward group of French Polynesia. Tahiti boasts their captivating lagoons in Bora-Bora, over water bungalows resting in crystal-clear turquoise water, white sand beaches and pristine landscapes. And just like in Hawaii, the weather in this island is perfect all year-long.

7. Fiji
A real exotic getaway, if you're looking for seclusion and romance, Fiji is number one on the list. This island was ranked number two as the most secluded honeymoon destinations in the world. This island is isolated in the Pacific Ocean between Hawaii and Australia, having 300 pristine islands, which today remain as the last perfect paradise for honeymooners and couples alike.
Fiji boasts of its crystal-clear waters and sun-kissed beaches; limestone caves which are available for tourists to explore, blue lagoons and the coral grotto, where you can go and kayak through while being surrounded by many species of colourful birds. You can also visit the villages and purchase handmade products sold by the locals.
Fiji is highly accessible with many international flights bringing tourists daily and is affordable than you think. Among the 300 islands in Fiji, I am sure that you will find the best deals for every budget traveler.

6. Paris, France
For a long period of time, the city of Paris has been identified with the word "romance". Paris, the city of lights is not only known because it is the home of the Eiffel Tower, but because of its unique history, contemporary and classic architecture, beautiful scenic spots, famous art museums and galleries and delicious French cuisines.
Paris is such a wonderful place for couples to discover on foot. Every place in the city is accessible either by foot or by car. Just watching the whole city on top of the Eiffel Tower together with your partner and having dinner in one of the finest restaurants is really one romantic experience. Needless to say, for couples that are looking for an elegant and informative, yet romantic honeymoon destination, then Paris is the one for you.

5. Italy
Two cities in Italy have entered the 5th spot of our list. First is the city of Rome. Full of history, Rome has attracted tourists all over the world, including honeymooners, due to its interesting structural architecture, medieval churches, beautiful scenic spots, museums and Renaissance palaces. Furthermore, located in Rome are St. Peter's Basilica and the famous city-state of Vatican.

What you can do in Rome is to go sight-seeing. Rome hosts a thousand of scenic spots and historical places like the "Collosseum" (Coliseum) or the Amphitheatre which stands for almost a hundred years; the "Domus Aurea, the ruins of the legendary Golden House of Emperor Nero and the "Pantheon", the best place where you can drink in elegance while in Rome. Elegant and classy - the perfect description for a honeymoon vacation spent in Rome.
Next is the floating city of Venice one of Italy's most romantic and beautiful cities. This city is unique because it is built on water in the middle of a lagoon. The only means of public transportation is via gondola, a romantic boat ride along the myriad of canals within the city. This ride is usually the highlight of every honeymoon spent in Venice.

4. Mexico
This country attracts a lot of tourists, including newlyweds, because of the beautiful climate, unspoiled beaches, Mayan archaeology and luxurious accommodations. Tourist destinations include Tulum, Cancun, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco. In Mexico, they offer all-inclusive packages to tourists especially couples and honeymooners looking for relaxation and romance.

For example, in Tulum, Mexico, you can enjoy luxury and privacy at reasonable prices. Tulum is a site of a walled Mayan city, and it rests on the Yucatan Peninsula, well-known for the world-famous ruins. What you can do here aside on swimming in the beautiful beaches are zip-lining, cavern snorkeling and canopy adventures.
Although not as cheap as a honeymoon vacation in Bali, staying in Mexico will give you the luxury of all-inclusive deals in a reasonable yet still affordable price.

3. Bahamas
Aside from being a stopover point for most Caribbean cruise, there's more to Bahamas than you think. Aside from the Nassau and Paradise Island and the amusement park hotel Atlantis, Bahamas also takes pride in places such as the Andros, Exuma, Green Turtle Cay and others among its 700 isles.
This place is highly accessible for honeymooners especially for those living in the U.S. Cruises and flights are really frequent in Bahamas. Newlyweds and couples will have plenty of options to choose from the vast array of water sports, golf courses and gaming casinos. Furthermore, they have a wide selection of accommodations, fine dining and delicious cuisines or simply dance to the rhythm of Calypso music and party all night. Every couple will definitely enjoy their honeymoon in Bahamas.

2. Hawaii
Many couples and newlyweds dream of spending their vacation or honeymoon the beautiful islands of Hawaii though most of them end up going to another place because they thought the price was too much. However, due to the worldwide recession, Hawaii has become more affordable than ever. Hawaii has always been on top of the list when it comes to "honeymooning" spots.
Among its six islands, Maui is the most popular destination for newlyweds. In Big Island, couples can experience the thrill in various volcanic adventures. In Oahu, you and your partner can go sight-seeing in Hawaii's most historical places like the Pearl Harbor and the Iolani Palace and much more.

Staying in Hawaii wouldn't be that expensive as you think. There are many Hawaii hotels that offer great deals even an all-inclusive package, especially for couples. A couple of things which you can do in Hawaii are diving, snorkeling, kayaking and "SNUBA". You and your partner can also try hiking, mountain biking or just enjoy nature tripping with your honey.

1. Caribbean
Topping our list is St Lucia, Caribbean. Although the Caribbean is filled with alluring honeymoon spots, we will focus on the island of St. Lucia, an island country in the eastern Caribbean Sea, part of the Lesser Antilles. This small island is very ideal for newlyweds and couples due to its private yet fun atmosphere. The island has a mountainous and volcanic terrain, with broad and fertile valleys and a vast array of tropical flora and fauna making this place the perfect Eden for honeymooners.
Adventurous couples can climb the peak of the volcanic mountain Gros Piton, one of the island's two great majestic peaks and is a World Heritage Site. You can also take a tour via Rain Forest Aerial Trams in Babonneau, St. Lucia's most relaxing and serene adventures. You and your partner will tour along the lush tropical rainforest of the Castries Waterworks Reserve, focus on your left and right, and you might find yourself a parrot.

St. Lucia has countless white sand beaches in the north and black volcanic sand beaches in the south. You can also visit Petit Piton, the other "signature" peak. Honeymooners will find their stay in St. Lucia more relaxing and tranquil compared to the other islands in the Caribbean, though there are still places where you can enjoy shopping, bar hopping and nightlife.
This concludes my list of top 10 honeymoon spots in the world. To start planning, I suggest you check out some vacation packages by asking a travel agent or by checking online because each of these places listed here offers various tour packages from an all-inclusive to an air fare plus accommodation or accommodation plus tour only. Availing one of these can surely save you lots of money for your trip.

Your perfect wedding...
The Maltese islands are an ideal setting for the perfect wedding & honeymoon. Rich in cultural heritage, soothing both to the eye and to the heart, the word 'romance' describes a thousand and one locations on the island. Malta, Gozo and Comino are blessed with sun and crystal-clear surrounding Mediterranean waters. Enjoy a wedding and honeymoon experience, mixed with luxurious relaxation and exciting thrill as one discovers many culture, art and natural treasures unique to the islands.

Religious and civil ceremonies are available in Malta and legally recognized in Europe and North America. A Malta wedding probably costs less than one in your own country or in most other Mediterranean destinations. For one thing there is an absolute lack of red tape - all you need to complete at home is simple paperwork giving proof that you are single. English is also one of two national languages, so no official translations are required for the documents to be handed in or the marriage certificate given, and of course the ceremony itself can easily be in English.

You can organise the wedding yourself or employ a professional wedding company, that abound on the island. Organising a wedding yourself has never been easier thanks to helpful local wedding planning websites such as BrideMalta, which is the local favourite for good reason. There you will find everything from wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses to accommodation for your guests and even a special section specifically for those aiming to get married in idyllic Gozo.

Wedding transport is pure luxury as you can choose between cars ranging from Beaufords to the latest BMWs to Mercedes Benz or the more stylish and comfortable limousine. You may decide to travel by "karrozzin", the traditional flower-decorated, Maltese horse-drawn carriage. Or you opt to go by sea, leaving your waterfront reception by Maltese "luzzu" fishing boat! 

... and your perfect Honeymoon!
The Maltese islands offer a wide range of accommodation for your honeymoon requirements, varying from apartments, hotels, villas, and farmhouses. All the major chains (Hilton, Radisson, Intercontinental/Holiday Inn) have hotels on the island. Farmhouses are fully converted to provide modern, self-catering facilities with private pools set in secluded courtyards complemented by hotels offering you a full range of dining, sporting and social activities.

Unless you plan to only spend time in the major towns, you will need a car. Car rental is inexpensive, so it doesn't really matter where you stay.
From the golden sandy beaches of Mellieha Bay to sheer Dingli Cliffs. From the prehistoric temples of Ggantija, and medieval city of Mdina to the throbbing night-life of Paceville. All you seek for the perfect start to your life together is here, in the Maltese Islands.

Are you daydreaming of the perfect honeymoon, one where you can totally lose yourself in each other... a honeymoon with everything you dream of? Of course you are. You want the perfect romantic honeymoon that will leave you with memories you'll cherish forever!
A dream honeymoon begins with great planning and a good understanding of what you and your fiancé really want. Here are some tips, suggestions and ideas for making your romantic getaway even more blissful and perfect for you and your loved one.

Where to go and what to do? Do you and your fiancé share similar ideas on what your dream honeymoon should be? It's important to make sure you do.
Did you know that in 2011, the five most important factors for honeymooners are:
  1. A dream location
  2. A reasonable price
  3. Comfortable accommodation
  4. A good selection of quality food
  5. Enjoyable activities
Start daydreaming now! Don't wait. Create time now to brainstorm your perfect honeymoon, talking it through together. Decide what's really important for you both in this trip of a lifetime. Make lists separately, then compare together. Ask for advice from family and friends and seek information from travel experts, but don't try to make another couple's honeymoon yours. Make sure your ideas are those that take centre stage. Oh, and have fun...
Here are some questions you both need to consider to ensure you have the perfect honeymoon:

Have you considered combining your wedding and honeymoon? Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular. And why not? Combining wedding vows with an idyllic honeymoon venue provides the simplicity of one coordinated wedding-honeymoon package. One plan, one price and one destination mean one big romantic adventure. There is a huge choice of specialised venues and fabulous destinations both here in Australia and overseas.

When would you like to leave? Perhaps you would prefer to go immediately after the wedding, or maybe you'd be happier to wait a day or two to recover from the festivities! And there's always the option of delaying the honeymoon until you have more holiday time or money, or until the weather is perfect in your destination of choice.

How much money do you want to spend? This will probably make a big difference to the type of honeymoon resort you can afford to stay at, but not necessarily the destination. For example, most tropical islands offer a variety of accommodation to suit a range of budgets. Try to put a dollar amount on your budget.

How long do you want your honeymoon to last? Do you want to head off for the weekend, a week, a fortnight or more? How much time can you take off work? For an extended overseas honeymoon, perhaps consider asking your employer for a sabbatical.

What style of holiday grabs you the most? Is it a luxurious Caribbean cruise or a lazy tropical island getaway? Or perhaps the bright lights of Europe's cities beckon... London, Paris, Rome?

What landscape should your destination include? Would you like your room to overlook the beach or a mountain peak? Do you prefer complete silence during the night or do the bustling sounds of the city excite you?

What do you want to do on your honeymoon? Does snuggling up to your partner with a glass of fine wine in front of an open fire sound good to you? Perhaps it's walking hand-in-hand along a tropical beach with the moon and stars to light your way? Or is it snorkelling in clean azure waters, rock climbing or bouncing around a pristine desert landscape in a four-wheel-drive?

What type of food do you plan to eat and from where? Is fine dining your preference or do you prefer eating out at less expensive restaurants or even street stalls?

After sunset, how do you want to spend your time? Do you like quiet, romantic evenings alone or would you prefer going out on the town for dinner and drinks?

As you begin to plan your honeymoon, and you start doing some research, you begin to realize that there are a lot of honeymoon options out there for you to choose from. Hopefully you only get one chance to plan your honeymoon so why not consider one of the many honeymoon cruises to choose from? A honeymoon cruise can be a romantic getaway to a tropical island somewhere or even up to see the beauty of the Alaskan sunsets. Your choices are endless with a honeymoon cruise so do some research and get ready to sail.

Honeymoon cruises can be booked one of two ways and either way is just as effective as the other as long as you do your homework. The first way is directly through the cruise company. Many cruise companies offer honeymoon cruises that are all inclusive as far as the ship and the accommodations for any stops may be concerned. It is always a good idea to inquire about flights to and from the port to make sure you are covered there as many cruise lines do not offer flight arrangements. The second way to book your honeymoon cruise is through a travel agent. A travel agent will cost you a fee but they will also do a complete honeymoon cruise package that will include everything you need including airfare and all accommodations.

Where To Go
To me there has always been a variety of destinations for a honeymoon cruise and, in the end, your final choice will solely depend on your own personal preference. If you prefer the warm weather then you can visit the Bahamas, or maybe Mexico, or even plan a cruise to visit the islands of Greece and all of the treasures they have for you to experience. If you are looking for a cooler climate then consider a cruise to Alaska. I hear that there is no more beautiful sunset anywhere in the world than in Alaska and what is more romantic than a beautiful sunset?

You have a lot of choices to make when it comes to planning your honeymoon cruise and there is one more factor you will need to consider in order to make your planning successful. All types of cruises usually book well in advance so if you want to take the guessing and the worry out of booking your cruise then I suggest you begin looking into it at least one year in advance.
