Consider choosing from some of the most famous honeymoon spots in the world.
Mexico
Mexican honeymoons are popular for many American couples due to the close proximity of Mexico to the United States. Cancun is one of the most popular Mexican destination spots for honeymooners, and is located on the east side of the country. There is a large airport in Cancun, making it easy for travelers to access the city. Cancun is full of luxurious resorts and large beaches. Due to the high amount of tourist attractions in the area, there is plenty to do for honeymooners who don't want to stay at the resort all day. Located near Cancun, is the Riviera Maya. This area is about one hour south of Cancun and is more secluded than popular Cancun. However, due to its close proximity to the major city, travel to the Riviera Maya is easy, and there are plenty of tourist activities within driving distance. For those wanting to travel to the west side of the country, Puerto Vallarta also offers many resorts and activities along its beautiful beaches.
Hawaii

Hawaii is full of beautiful scenery, beaches, and plenty of activities for honeymooners to do. There are several islands to choose from when visiting. Ohau is home to Wikiki Beach, which is a very commercialized area of Hawaii featuring shopping, tourist activities and the popular Pearl Harbor memorial. Another popular destination, Maui, offers a more low-key and relaxed atmosphere for honeymooners and is ideal for couples who want to lay around the beach or in a hotel room.
The Caribbean
The Caribbean is another very famous honeymoon spot for couples. The Caribbean has an array of famous islands that offer romantic tropical getaways for couples. Saint Marten and St. Barths are both located in the Caribbean and have world-famous beaches for honeymooners to relax on. For those with more luxurious taste, there is Turks and Caicos, which offers several high-end resorts on its sandy white beaches. Jamaica, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico are all part of the Caribbean islands as well. Most importantly, there is easy access between each of the islands, meaning honeymooners don't have to choose just one island for their vacation.
European Honeymoons
For those who want more out of their honeymoon than sunny beaches, European honeymoons are a popular choice. Many couples choose to backpack, or travel among several countries in order to get the full European experience. Popular stops among European honeymoons include London, Italy, and of course, the city of love, Paris. Airfare and buses between countries is fairly low, meaning traveling among all the different stops won't cost travelers a lot of money. For those who still want a taste of the beach honeymoon, Ibiza, Spain, has some of the most popular beaches in Europe for travelers to enjoy.
