Top Honeymoon Destinations 2023, by nemo travel

Kenya is the honeymoon OG, with landscapes as showstopping as the wildlife that resides within and the laid-back Indian Ocean coastline, it offers all the cliches that deliver for a romantic honeymoon. Sip a G&T under an African sky, watch a pride of lions play in the late afternoon sun and relax on a beautiful beach with a candlelit seafood dinner awaiting. This is a country that truly favours honeymooners, its beautiful camps and lodges often offer amazing honeymoon specials, bringing that top-end experience well within reach. How to get there? Kenya’s wildlife-peppered plains are only an 8-hour flight away (there’s next to no time difference either) and with nifty light aircraft planes that zip you from door to door - it’s a far-flung adventure that’s seamless from the outset. You’ll be in the thick of the experience in no time.

Few countries match Morocco’s exotic offerings after just a three-hour flight (blink and you’ll miss it). You’ll soon be spending romantic nights in Marrakech’s opulent riads or luxe beachside retreats, before wandering the intoxicating markets of Jemaa el Fna and hiking trails that follow thundering rivers in the Atlas Mountains. We’ll take care of everything, from sidecar tours around the medina to Berber-led hikes in the Ourika Valley and booking hidden rooftop bars for those all-important sunset cocktails. The icing on the cake? Morocco offers great value, your money goes a long way here to experience the finger things in life. Hammam for two anyone?

Rising in popularity for good reason, Colombia is perfect for travellers who want a honeymoon that’s as romantic as it is adventurous! Think city salsa classes and jungle trekking, nights spent in design-led rainforest lodges from which you’ll glimpse the Amazon’s breathtaking wildlife before scuba-diving along the Caribbean Coast… the stuff of honeymoon dreams that we can turn to reality, so let your imagination run wild! This is far more of an adults-only adventure, so there’ll be no tiny travellers putting you off those laidback romantic vibes.

European summer honeymoons needn’t conjure images of crowded beaches and rammed restaurants, our Cyclades Off The Beaten Track trip offers a serene escape to lesser-known Greek islands, well away from the crowds. Expect beautiful boutique hotels, authentic island life, superb local cuisine and seamless logistics taken care of by our team of experts. You’ll explore the islands on a private boat trip, stopping off for lunch in a local harbour town and diving into the Aegean’s sparkling waters. Plus, it can easily be turned into a minimoon for an abbreviated escape that’s as romantic as the real thing.

We couldn’t list our top honeymoon destinations without mentioning Sri Lanka. It’s long since been a top choice among our honeymooners and after a tough time in recent months, this beautiful country is back. Perfect for couples undecided on their desired level of adventure, here one of you can surf or trek all day and the other can kick back on the beach with a cocktail, it’s easy. One thing’s for sure, your nights will be spent in some of the most beautiful hotels in the world, and rest assured that private pool isn’t going to break the bank. Sri Lanka’s romantic offerings are possible year-round, so it’ll be ready and waiting whenever you’re planning on tying the knot.
