The Number One Honeymoon Spot: Hawaii Hawaii, rated the top vacation spot for destination weddings and honeymoons, is the #1 choice for overall travel as well.

The Romance and Glamor of Europe If an international vacation sparks your interest, you may want to consider any of the top honeymoon destinations in Europe. Imagine yourself in Venice, winding through the canals on a romantic gondola ride, or sitting in an outdoor Parisian cafe, enjoying a view of the Eiffel Tower! How about a breathtaking tour through the wine country?
Europe offers glamor, romance, historical museums and artwork, beautiful Mediterranean beaches, and a unique cultural experience. For optimum weather you'll want to visit during the spring or fall months.
 Remember, Europe is a foreign land. If you don't possess a passport you'll want to begin the application process a few months in advance of your honeymoon. Once you've arrived you'll need to exchange your American dollars for Euros, which are the standard currency for most of Europe.
Traveling is a very simple task, thanks to the rail system that runs throughout Europe. This is an exciting, affordable way to see much of the area, but you want to keep your luggage to a minimum if traveling in this manner. And, resist the temptation to over schedule your itinerary....after all, you'll probably be ready for some R&R after the stresses of planning a wedding.
Tahiti - A Tropical Paradise with a Sophisticated Flair Imagine honeymooning in a Tahitian bungalow, just feet above the exotic sparkling waters of the Pacific. Spend your days horseback riding along the spectacular shoreline, scuba diving, swimming with the dolphins, golfing, or escaping to nearby deserted islands to enjoy a private beach.
Tahiti, one of the French Polynesian islands, is located in the South Pacific, between Australia and South America. This exquisite land, another of the top honeymoon destinations, offers a unique blend of Polynesian culture alongside the sophistication and luxury of France. The locals are friendly and inviting. Most speak either French or Polynesian but you won’t need to take a crash course…English is spoken within the tourist sector of Tahiti.
 You'll need a passport to travel to Tahiti, and you'll want to exchange your American dollars to Central Pacific Francs once you arrive. And while it is appreciated, tipping is not a required practice in the Tahitian culture.
If you're planning a destination wedding, Tahiti is not the best choice. You may find someone willing to perform a wedding ceremony for you, but your marriage will not be recognized outside of Tahiti, unless both the bride and groom have been residents of the island for 30 days prior to the ceremony!
Tahiti has many qualities that have made it one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world. It's amazing lagoons, perfect weather (average 85 degrees, all year round), secluded coves, beautiful coral reefs, and close proximity to the other 117 French Polynesian islands offer a romantic vacation that will be long remembered.
The Beaches of Anguilla Anguilla, a British territory east of Puerto Rico, is yet another tropical island that is listed among top honeymoon destinations. Anguilla consists of the main island, nestled in the Caribbean, along with many nearby uninhabited islands and cays.
Anguilla has a reputation of being one of the friendliest of the Caribbean islands. Poverty is not a problem here, and the crime rate is extremely low.
Although it's only 35 square miles in size, Anguilla boasts over 30 pristine white-sand beaches and magnificent blue-green water. This remarkable getaway offers newlyweds breathtaking beauty, serenity, and much coveted privacy.
There is very little night life here, making Anguilla the perfect spot for lovers in search of peace and tranquility.
If you’re in the market for cheap honeymoon ideas, Anguilla is probably not the best choice for you. This vacation spot caters to high-end clientele, and accommodations, food, and entertainment on Anguilla is quite expensive.
 You can bask in the sun, go scuba diving among the coral reefs, explore any of the several shipwrecks that have been left intact below the ocean floor, go snorkeling, rent or charter a boat, water ski, or stroll along the spectacular beach during any time of the year. The temperature averages 80 degrees, with very little fluctuation.
Although it is listed among the top honeymoon destinations, Anguilla is vulnerable to hurricanes, which could strike anytime between June through November. If you’re willing to take your chances with the weather, you’ll can find savings of up to 50% during the hurricane season. That's about the closest you'll come to gambling while in Anguilla!
Romantic Mexican Resorts With many very different resort locations to choose from, Mexico has been one of the top honeymoon destinations chosen by newlyweds from all over the world. Although a very poor country, Mexico offers many luxurious resort locations including Cozumel, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, and Cancun.
 While honeymooning in Mexico, you can take a day trip to exotic ancient ruins, relax on a breathtaking Pacific beach, shop in the local market, and enjoy excursions such as jetskiing, snorkeling charters, parasailing, etc. If you love the night life, you’ll love Mexico. The days are hot, but the nightlife is “hot, hot, hot”!
If you’re looking for cheap honeymoon ideas, Mexico may be a great destination for you, particularly Cozumel. In 2002, this island, located in the Mexican Caribbean, received recognition as the North American and Caribbean vacation spot offering the best value (travel agent survey conducted by U.S. News & World Report).
Your options for a romantic honeymoon in Mexico are practically unlimited. You may enjoy an all-inclusive resort package that will give you little or no reason to leave the grounds. After all, top honeymoon destinations should cater to those who'll be staying close to their rooms, right?
