Whether you’re planning your honeymoon or think that romance in paradise shouldn’t just be the reserve of newly weds you’ll be spoilt for choice with our pick of dreamy destinations.
It’s easy to see why St Vincent & The Grenadines can lay claim to being the best kept secret in the Caribbean. Whilst bigger neighbours get more attention, and crowds, St Vincent & The Grenadines has remained an unspoilt, authentic destination for travellers ‘in the know’.
Comprising of the lush
St. Vincent island and a group of islands known for their white sandy beaches called The Grenadines, the islands are stunningly beautiful and the perfect place to enjoy the honeymoon of a lifetime!
Couples can enjoy total privacy and peace at secluded resorts set amidst kaleidoscopic coloured settings of rich green foliage, dazzling white sands and soft, warm azure waters.
Plus a little tip for those who dream of getting married on a beach: the relaxed marriage laws make it the most worry-free location to experience an exotic, blissful wedding even within 24-hours of landing.
They don't call it the "land of the blessed" for nothing! Swim in idyllic lagoons and volcanic pools and waterfalls, dive the tropical reefs off the deserted cayes and meet their rare inhabitants - Hawksbill turtles, angel fish, dolphins and whales. Or hike to the top of one of the most scientifically studied volcanoes in the world. You’ll no doubt work up the appetite of an adventurer by the end of the day,
and as a responsible traveler you’ll be pleased to know that virtually everything you eat in St Vincent & The Grenadines will have been grown or reared locally.
Most of all, it is the people who live here that make visits so memorable. You’ll find it easy to become immersed in the local culture and if you’re lucky enough to time your trip with one of the local festivals you’ll be in for a great party! Hear what the locals have to say
here.

Hot picks from the rest of the world
Why not try
safari and diving in Tanzania? From big game to big fish, the biodiversity of the Mafia islands are quite incredible and this trip not only brings you face to face with animals like zebras and turtle, you’ll be supporting an operator who works with conservation organisations to protect them.
Wine lovers wishing to sample a tipple or two as they wind their way along the Garden Route will enjoy this
award-winning self-drive trip from cape to cape, taking in the sights and sounds of South Africa, from coastal walks atop Table Mountain and through sunny vineyards, township markets and discovery at a Game Reserve.
Over in Asia, we’d recommend this luxury eco-lodge, perched atop an emerald mountain in scenic Sapa with views over the mist-covered peaks. This is just one of the luxury accommodations you can expect to find on this
trip to Vietnam. Begin in Hanoi and trace a round route along rivers and through paddy fields on guided walks, meeting and staying with locals before returning to the bustling capital for a week of being spoilt in your own private villa.
You could spend a spicy
honeymoon in Rajasthan, where local guides with inside knowledge will show you the delights of Delhi, Jodhpur, Jaipur as well as revered, mystical sites from holy lakes to opulent temples, staying in several palaces yourselves which have been restored to their former glory.
If this all sounds a bit too tropical for your liking, Europe proves you needn't travel anywhere too exotic for a taste of absolute luxury. The sunny mediterranean still packs a punch with sumptuous food, stunning ancient Greek and Roman ruins and fabulous coastlines.
This
15th century country house in Umbria's Valle del Carpina, famed for its olive groves and undulating hills, has large, antique fireplaces to curl up beside on cosy winter retreats, or shady gardens and woodland walks for summer getaways. Or take a private wooden chalet on
