To that end, we offer a bit of help. Take a look at our top honeymoon destinations. These locations are sure to inspire newlyweds young and old.

Paris

It should come as no surprise that this romantic city is at the top of the list. Taking a stroll aimlessly down the Champs-Elysees, arm in arm; does it get any more romantic than that? You have to keep in mind that Paris is a world-class city. Not only can you find some of the most exquisite food on the planet, there are also great romantic places to visit such as Versailles or Moulin Rouge. The lights at night are inspiring. It is easy to see why this is considered to be a lover's paradise, and why it is easily my favorite cities in the world.

Maldives

This is perhaps the ultimate luxury honeymoon getaway. Maldives has been known to cater to couples looking for that special romantic touch. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful; I mean, after all it is a tropical island paradise, and the bungalows over the water only add to its charm. Great food, great culture — Maldives makes a perfect honeymoon destination. Trust me; you will only want more after your first magical visit.

Bali

Travel to Indonesia for our next exotic stop. Bali is filled with romance, infinity pools, and a landscape that is absolutely breathtaking. Private candlelight dinners on the beach, wonderful massages, and the beach are all waiting to be explored by honeymoon couples. One trip here and you will see why few places can compare. Bali is a true Indonesian jewel.

Buenos Aires

I fell in love with Buenos Aires the moment we met. This South American city may not be your “typical” honeymooners’ paradise, but the beauty and romance are sure to surprise you.  Put your tango skills to use here and see why many people call Buenos Aries the Paris of South America. The city has real character, historical charm, and is alive with a vibrancy and feel that only an exotic location can offer. Offering fantastic resorts, five-star dining, and many things to see and do, you will fall in love with Buenos Aires the moment you arrive.

Big Island

Few places in the world are as exotic as the Big Island in Hawaii. Not quite as popular as Maui or Kawai, it does offer honeymooners more in areas of adventure and nature. Also, there are black- and even green-sand beaches to be seen. Perhaps you want to swim with a manta ray or to witness a live volcano (or even snow, depending on your elevation)? Whatever you do, you certainly don't want to miss one of the best Four Seasons resorts in the world. This is a paradise I will long remember, as I am sure you will too.

Each of these locations has its own unique allure. Any of them would make fantastic destinations for your romantic honeymoon. They are all rich with culture, history, and romance. Luxury is the order of the day and they have some of the most exquisite hotels and resorts in the world. If you are looking to impress your bride or groom to be, these destinations will not disappoint.
