Las Vegas, Nevada

You may be devoting the majority of your time to planning the wedding.

There’s floral arrangements, cake flavors, and flatware that you swear all looks the same.

Your brain might be scrambled, but that doesn’t mean you can afford to slack off on finding the ideal honeymoon destination.

After all the stresses of wedding planning (not to mention the actual wedding day) you’re going to need a nice relaxing getaway.

A honeymoon is the perfect way to remind yourself why you went through all this hassle in the first place!

So here are just a few luxurious getaway locations that can offer you the amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

  1. Bali, Indonesia
    As island destinations go, Bali is both charming and exotic.  You’ll find everything you could want in a honeymoon, from beautiful vistas with lush greenery and rolling waves to top tier resorts and relaxing health spas.  You can find entertainments galore, from stellar surfing to hopping clubs to cultural arts festivals with dancing and music (although the latter are intermittent, so you may have to check your calendar if you want to catch them on your honeymoon).
  2. Las Vegas, Nevada
    This adult playground may not sound like the perfect place for a romantic getaway, but for the couple seeking luxurious accommodations, fine dining, and plenty of entertainment, there is no place in the world that better fits the bill.  Practically every hotel/casino can offer you a honeymoon suite that you’ll never want to leave, and if you do come up for air and venture outside your room, there’s no shortage of food, drinks, and activities to keep you occupied.
  3. Lake Louise, Canada
    Okay, so you might not immediately think of America’s neighbor to the north when it comes to honeymoon locales, but have you seen photos of this place?!  It’s stunning!  The glassy lake is nestled amidst the Rocky Mountains like a jewel, and while summer honeymooners will get an eyeful of greenery surrounding this gorgeous lake, anyone who loves to ski will find this location ideal in the winter.  And thanks to some good planning, vacationers at the resorts on one end of the lake will have an uninterrupted view of the scenery.
  4. The South of France
    Forget honeymooning in overpriced and overcrowded Paris.  Instead, travel south for the rolling hills, ample wine, and quaint cottage atmosphere that showcase the true potential of this amazingly romantic country.  And if you want a peek at the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre, take a day trip.
  5. St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Southern Caribbean
    This up-and-coming Caribbean nation is made up of a string of perfect islands that will provide you with the dream honeymoon of a lifetime.  If white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and verdant environs rank high on your list of must-haves for the luxurious getaway of a lifetime, then this is the place for you.  Not only will you avoid the crowds of tourists found in other Caribbean nations, but you’ll have your pick of secluded and romantic locales in which to cuddle up with your one and only and get away from the world amidst some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable.  And with resorts, destination clubs, and romantic getaways galore, you’re sure to find just the spot to spend your honeymoon.
