After saying "I do", you've celebrated the most beautiful day of your life, capped by a fabulous evening brimming with love. Now married, you're committed for better or worse (though we all hope for the best). It's natural to feel a touch of sadness as weeks of preparation culminate in one unforgettable day.
Fortunately, marriage opens exciting new chapters—like the honeymoon, a romantic escape to celebrate your union with your partner, often a month after the wedding. This tradition dates to the 19th century, when English newlyweds visited guests unable to attend the ceremony. Today, it's the ultimate way to travel together and reaffirm your vows.
One hurdle: Picking the perfect spot. Postcard beaches or immersive nature? The choice is yours, but sharing it guarantees magic. Drawing on decades of global expertise, Lonely Planet recommends these top islands for honeymoons. Here's the curated selection.
