Bora Bora

If you’re looking to escape to somewhere far away for your honeymoon in 2016, you can’t get much further than Bora Bora in the French Polynesia. With pristine white beaches, abundant snorkelling and diving opportunities, magnificent sunsets and possibly the most romantic atmosphere on earth, Bora Bora is the perfect honeymoon destination.

Vietnam

If you want something off the beaten track, away from the main honeymoon ‘hotspots’, then Vietnam is a great choice. With over 3,000km of coastline running almost the entire length of the country, you won’t be short of beach options. The different weather patterns also make it a year-round destination, and therefore a great option if restricted to a particular time of year.

Cambodia

Its blend of delightful people, delicious cuisine and historical treasures makes Cambodia a truly unforgettable honeymoon destination for 2016. Sihanoukville is Cambodia’s most well-known beach resort and an ideal place to stop for a few days before or after touring around.

USA

Multi-destination honeymoons are becoming increasingly popular as couples want to combine different holiday experiences. The USA is a great multi-moon option. Being such a vast country it offers everything from desert to snow, to mountains and beaches. A popular combination for honeymoons is New York and Florida, where you can enjoy a few days in the big apple followed by a relaxing beach holiday.

Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is a favourite area for honeymooners, and 2016 looks set to be even bigger for the Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles. The Maldives is often combined as a twin-centre, stopping off in Dubai on the way. This allows you to enjoy the bright lights of a buzzing cosmopolitan city followed by complete paradise in the Maldives. Here you can enjoy crystal clear waters, powder white beaches and romantic candlelit dinners.
