No matter your budget, you can enjoy your first moments of marriage in a magical tropical paradise.

Hawaii is home to beautiful flora, like the state flower, the Hibiscus. Honeymooners flock to Hawaii for its dazzling beaches, luxurious resorts and abundance of activities. Snorkel off the coast of Kauai, dine on regional cuisine in Oahu, watch the sun rise from the top of Maui's Mount Haleakala, hike up Sweetheart Rock in Lanai, take a sunset cruise from the big island and dig your toes into the pristine white sands of Waikiki Beach.

Tahiti

Tahiti is famous for its over-water bungalows. Officially known as French Polynesia, Tahiti is a collection of 118 tiny island paradises, studded with jagged peaks, peaceful lagoons and verdant canopies. If you seek seclusion, luxury and romance, Tahiti is the destination for you. Stay in a bungalow directly over the water, falling asleep to the lapping of waves and watching dolphins leap just beyond your front porch. Explore the vanilla plantations and ancient ruins, or dive down to witness pristine coral reefs and bountiful marine life. Take a safari or a cruise, go for a hike or a bike ride, and at the end of the day, unwind at a legendary Polynesian spa.

Jamaica

Jamaica promises beautiful sunsets. Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean, and it is the birthplace of reggae. Most of the natives speak English, and the dollar is widely accepted. When you ask honeymooners why they love Jamaica, they generally say something about the food, the rum and the beaches, but they almost always say something about the people. Jamaicans have a reputation for being friendly, relaxed and welcoming. The island is also home to incredible natural beauty, from the misty blue mountains to its radiant beaches, and contains many all-inclusive resorts. Go deep-sea fishing, shop local craft stores, partake in the Junkanoo festival, visit a reggae club and taste some chicken from an open-air Jerk shack.
Mexico
-
Mexico is home to several ancient ruins. Mexico is a vast country, home to numerous beautiful beach destinations, from Aruba in the west to Cancun in the east. If you're looking for opulence and luxury, resorts across Mexico offer spacious air-conditioned honeymoon suites. Try the Las Ventanas or San Jose Del Cabo, which offers wood-burning fireplaces, telescopes and hot tubs in its rooms. You can also stay in a converted hacienda, or take a mule to a secluded bungalow. For honeymooners on a budget, Mexico is home to a plethora of inexpensive hotels, especially in Cancun, Cozumel and Guadalajara. Mexico offers a wide array of activities, from exploring ancient ruins to partaking in local festivals, along with all the typical beach sports. Some parts of Mexico are not as safe as others, and the water isn't always clean enough to drink, so check with your hotel or the U.S. Department of State to book a safe travel.
