Maldives, Indian Ocean
The crystalline Maldives lagoon you’re snorkeling in is dotted with confetti bursts of colourful tropical fish. Breakfast is served on trays that float in your pool as you towel off. Later, you can picnic alone on a sandbar, swim with manta rays, or spend an afternoon together at the spa before retiring to your overwater villa to gaze at a glitter-bomb of stars. These are just a few of the reasons why a Maldives honeymoon is considered the most luxurious in the world.
Mauritius, South Africa
Mauritius is a vibrant Indian Ocean paradise. There’s no need to be bored on this spice island; its interior soars up into mountain ranges, where tropical forests are home to amazing wildlife; and it has an astonishingly rich coastline and marine parks to explore, by boat or underwater (watersports are popular here). The neighbouring islands of Réunion and Rodrigues provide their own treasures and they feel off-the-beaten-path even by Mauritian standards, while three other islands have beautiful landscapes with hundreds of tiny islets dotting their coastlines. But it’s not just about the fantastic beaches. If your kind of vacation involves lying on a cabana and being served cocktails on the hour, every hour, then Mauritius is the place to be. Many of the seaside resorts here are high-octane glamorous, while independent travelers can also find off-the-beaten-path, more laid-back places to stay.
Seychelles, Western Indian Ocean
The archipelago of the Seychelles is the ultimate castaway-island fantasy. The quintessential Indian Ocean paradise is out of this world magnificent, with palm-fringed beaches dropping softly into a dreamy turquoise sea. And it has a romantic wildness about it that other islands lack. The islands of the Seychelles are less groomed, adding to their charm. There’s also much adventure to be had; and you’ll find rich intriguing fauna and wildlife, akin to those of the Galapagos, among its virgin forest and coral reefs. You are also likely to come upon a beach where you can leave the first pairs of meandering footsteps in the powder-white sand. Seychelles is the ideal place for a blissful and romantic vacation away from the world. 
Turks and Caicos, North America
Celebrating your newlywed status calls for an unforgettable honeymoon, and Turks & Caicos is up to the task. Living the simple life is easy on this island when it comes to boutique hotels, gourmet restaurants, designer-filled stores, and one very famous beach; it’s simple with a side of sophistication. Oh, and cocktails before noon are the norm, as are afternoons spent on the water. Doesn’t that sound like paradise? Here are some additional compelling reasons to plan a honeymoon in Turks & Caicos: quick, affordable flights, Grace Bay beach, no shortage of 5-star resorts or epic houses to rent, fresh island fare, plenty of boating excursions, and finally, wellness is a way of life on this island.
