A honeymoon is always special not only because it immediately follows a wedding but also because it is the first opportunity for the newly married couple to enjoy intimate moments after all the stress involved with getting married. Most of the couples try to make their honeymoon as memorable as possible and the foremost requisite for achieving this objective entails selecting a perfect getaway.

Where to go on a honeymoon is a question which haunts most of the newly weds and in a concerted effort to be of assistance and lessen the confusion, the following list has been compiled –

South Africa – Blessed with ample natural beauty in form of beautiful beaches, exotic islands, diverse flora and fauna and home to many ethnic cultures, this country located at the tip of the vast African continent is a perfect honeymoon destination for couples who yearn for an action-packed holiday. Coupled with modern amenities like shopping malls and contemporary sports facilities, there is so much to do in South Africa that people often run out of days but not activities and since each experience is unique, they go back home with enough cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Russia – Given Russia’s emergence from the economic oblivion, now this nation is fast acquiring popularity as a favored honeymoon destination by couples around the globe. While the richness of age-old Russian culture and traditions is reflected in the local cuisine and architecture, attractions like the Kremlin exude a timeless charm of their own and the rugged beauty of the Siberian landscape speaks volumes of the power of nature.

Mexico – This land of the Aztec warriors is not only one of the most well-connected romantic destinations but is also affordable and hence worth every dollar spent. Experiencing the essence of the ancient Mayans in the canyons has a romanticism which is difficult to beat while lazing around in one of the many luxury resorts is the best therapy for calming frayed nerves and spending time discovering and knowing each other.

Tahiti – Popularly known as the ‘island of love’ this is an ultimate paradise for honeymoon couples with its turquoise waters facilitating many water related activities, natural and colorful beauty encouraging hikes and pristine beaches serving as ideal spots for lazing around. Immersing in the Tahitian culture is a must for every honeymoon couple as is sampling local delicacies like papaya chicken, Banana Poe and ‘poisson cru’. Having a Tahitian tattoo impaled on the better halves would act as a reminder of that wonderful honeymoon for many days to come.

Europe Tour – Unlike its American counterpart, the European continent has successfully retained its rustic charm and ancient traditions all of which make it worthy of consideration for celebrating a honeymoon. Although Italy is often spoken synonymously with romance, it is France which upholds this emotion in every sphere and Switzerland which lends a zing to it through its ski slopes and activities. Every country in the European continent narrates a tale of its own and this is reflected in its cuisine, chocolates, wine and the Mediterranean coastline.
