Whether you’re looking for a tropical getaway, an adventurous experience or a relaxing romantic city break - there is something for everyone on this list we have compiled.

The Maldives

Turks and Caicos Islands

The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory consisting of two groups of 40 tropical islands and cays located in the Lucayan Archipelago and part of the Antilles island grouping. On these beautiful exotic islands you will be able to enjoy a cocktail on the beach, golf in pristine courses, explore the islands on interesting organised tours or go scuba diving.

Greece

Greece’s timeless beauty can be the perfect setting for a romantic honeymoon. Witness some of the world’s most beautiful sunsets, explore the different islands on a cruise, relax in a blissful spa, enjoy candlelight dinners by the sea and lounge in some of the world’s best beaches… Greece will not disappoint!

South Africa may not be the first country you think of when you think of a romantic getaway, but the country’s incredible natural landscapes and exciting wildlife make it the perfect destination for couples looking for some adventure on their honeymoon! At Kruger National Park you will be able to organise a variety of excursions to witness plenty of wildlife in their natural habitat.

Go on a gondola ride during the sunset in Venice, explore the ancient ruins of Rome or enjoy a secluded getaway in Tuscany… The ideas for a truly unforgettable honeymoon are endless in a country as rich as Italy!
