where did you go on your honeymoon?

[fairycakes]

cant decide where to book (see other thread st lucia/maldives) but now im thinking about other places and i suppose real life recommendations are better than magazine ones....

We drove (or more correctly I drove) around the West Country as I was very pregnant and was not allowed to fly.

We went to dubrovnik in Croatia, lovely place, warm friendly people, great food, great hotel. Would recommend to any one! We went 3 years ago and it wasnt really popular to go so this made it more exclusive. We didnt see one English person-brill time!

Egypt. Red sea is probably best for honeymoon. Sharm el Sheikh/Hurghada etc..

weesagirl, we got married when dd was 15 months and she came with us (of course). We got married in Poole, spent the nights before and after the wedding in the Highcliff at Bournemouth. Then got the ferry from Poole to Cherbourg (Commodore class cabin). Drove to Deauville and stayed in the Normandy for a week. It was May the sun came out very hot and so we spent week on the Normandy's private beach during the day.

Sandals resort in St. Lucia for three weeks April/May - cost as much as the wedding - amazing and the most beautful scenery....!!

Dominican Republic - All inclusive hotel was gorgeous.

Just about to book our honeymoon - summer isles hotel ( west coast of scotland ). Michelin starred restaurant and stunning scenery.

cook islands, with a stopover in LA - all kept a strict secret from all (inc. me) until heathrow!
most beautiful place in the world i reckon & wd LOVE to go back one day (wistful emoticon).

Italy - Rome, Liguria, Portofino - lovely and not too hot in July IMO

Bora Bora and Moorea with a stop-over in LA for a business trip for dh (he went out a few days before me). Decided when I was about 10 I would go to Bora Bora on my honeymoon after being a "tales of the brass monkey" fan.

Got married fairly young and definitely penniless but managed to get to Cornwall and stay in 'The Gatekeeper's Cottage' on D.H.Laurences old estate - very romantic it was too.

3 nights New York, which was very hot in June, saw all the big sights, very busy 3 days then 12 nights relaxing at an all inclusive in the Bahamas - bliss.

We went to Italy - a few nights in Venice and then a week in a villa near Siena. Very lovely .

We went to Wales and it was lovely and a lot of sheep

cancun, mexico
it was fab

2 nights in paris#
2 nights in Tahiti
10 nights in Bora Bora

I have been to some fab places(maldives etc) but bora bora really is the most perfect place on earth

A week in Honolulu and a week in Maui - bliss - although I detest long-haul flights. Maui was better as Honolulu was a bit too crowded and commercialised.

1 week on Turtle Island , Fiji which was absolutely divine and decadent and 1 week at Noosa which is a beachside location in Queensland Australia. Very active outdoor experience with lots of golf playing. Those were the days .

We went to Seattle and then on a ten day cruise around Alaska, which stopped off in Canada too.(Princess cruises). It was fantastic. We had a suite with a secluded balcony and were treated superbly.

We got married in Greece just before the honeymoon therefore wanted somewhere a bit cooler. As it happens the weather in seattle and Alaska was fantastic too.

Whatever you choose i am sure it will be memorable. A honeymoon is about spending time together and alone. You could go absolutley
anywhere.

ENJOY IT. x

Hong Kong and then onto Bali, absolute heaven!

3 nights in York
