1. Bhutan
With some of the most stunning views, hiking, and unique cultural experiences around, Bhutan would make for an unforgettable honeymoon. Take part in a local festival, check out the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, or go white water rafting in Bhutan for your romantic getaway.
2. Slovenia
Slovenia is like Croatia or Italy, without all the tourists! Most of the country is natural forest and green space, making for a tranquil, fresh air, romantic experience like no other. Not only that, but it also boasts some great cobblestone-clad cities, caves, castles, wine regions, and picturesque lakes reminiscent of those in Switzerland or northern Italy!
3. Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a lush paradise with some out-of-this-world gorgeous accommodation options for you to lounge your honeymoon away in major Instagrammable style! Have a relaxing Ayurvedic treatment, see an elephant migration, or learn how to surf on the shores of beautiful Sri Lanka.
4. The Azores, Portugal
Want to experience a cross between the history and towns of Europe with the mountains and natural beauty of Hawaii? And all only a stone’s throw away from the US? Then the Azores are for you! Go whale watching, learn how to cook traditional fare in an underground oven, or go on a four wheeler wine safari on one of the Azores islands, off the coast of Portugal!
5. San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
If you love history, Mexican food, and gorgeous architecture—but aren’t much of a beachy couple—you may want to consider a trip to San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico. There you can enjoy tapas at a rooftop bar, explore native ruins nearby, enjoy a tequila tasting experience, or check out unique and colorful art around the city.
6. Jordan
There’s nothing more romantic than dining under the stars, camel riding, or exploring the mystical caves of Petra. For something completely different (and believe it or not—some amazing nightlife!) add Jordan to your honeymoon shortlist!
7. Japan
Want to spend your honeymoon in a cozy Japanese ryokan with the smell of cherry blossoms drifting all around you? Japan isn’t only known for it’s bustling cities like Tokyo and Kyoto—you can also explore gems like the islands of Okinawa or bask in the hot springs in Nyuto Onsen.
So let’s turn your generic “sun and fun” honeymoon into something a little different. Sure – you can relax on the beach some of the time – duh! But experiencing different cultures and landscapes with your significant other will bring you that much closer and make for a honeymoon never to be forgotten.
