The beaches seem to go on forever, and the mild, temperate climate is just on the right side of sunny without ever being too hot.

It’s a big island, so whether you’re looking for mountain hideaways or infinity pools next to the beach you’ll find it here. The ‘Island of the Gods’ is certainly worthy of its name – it’s a true paradise with a huge amount to offer honeymooners. Book now.
5. Salalah
Oman is rapidly becoming one of the worst kept secret escapes for those in the know, and it’s easy to see why. Salalah, the capital of Oman’s southern Dhofar region is famous for its frankincense trade and, today, as a luxury resort for newlyweds. With a spectacular mountain backdrop, a thriving and vibrant city, and beaches that could easily rank as some of the best in the world, it’s luxurious, it’s beautiful, and it all comes without the usual crowds you’ll find at better-known destinations. From ancient souqs to royal palaces, modern malls and deserted beaches with clear water that’s perfect for diving, Salalah has definitely earned its place in our top ten. Book now.
6. Zanzibar
This destination is so exotic, even its name sounds mysterious! Sitting just off the coast of Tanzania, this island nation is full of interest, history, and some seriously gorgeous honeymoon resorts. Location of the shortest war in history (hostilities lasted just 38 minutes!) and with miles and miles of dazzlingly white, sandy beaches to explore, Zanzibar honeymoons are as memorable as the island itself. The sweet smell of nutmeg and other spices fills the air, while historical forts line the rugged coastline, all waiting to be explored. Zanzibar is the perfect honeymoon destination for couples with an adventurous, free spirit, and the sunsets are genuinely astonishing, too. Book now.
