Perhaps one of the most relaxing and romantic vacations you’ll ever take with your (new) spouse, planning the perfect honeymoon starts with choosing the ideal destination.  Whether you’re thinking a tropical Australian getaway or luxurious ski vacation in Vail, here are five tips that can help you and your sweetheart (amicably) pick just the right locale.

What Do You Enjoy Doing as a Couple?

Your interests as a couple will likely influence where you choose to vacation.  For example, if you and your fiancé are outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, plan a trip in a beautiful location that offers plenty of outdoor activities such as surfing or hiking in the Alps.

How Private Do You Want Your Honeymoon To Be?

While some couples want to spend their honeymoon in a secluded place (think a bed and breakfast in the mountains), others want an up-tempo trip filled with a jam-packed sightseeing schedule and vibrant nightlife.  If that sounds exciting to you, a few cities to consider include New York City, Miami, London and of course “the city of love,” Paris (click here for more French travel ideas).

How Much Time Do you Have to Honeymoon?

Sadly, all honeymoons must come to an end and often budgets and work schedules dictate when that happens.  Some honeymoon spots may not be the ideal choice simply because you do not have the time needed to make the trip worth it (especially when you apply the travel time to get to certain far-off locations).

Looking For Some More Action On Your Honeymoon?

If you’re looking for an action-packed honeymoon, consider a locale that offers plenty to do, from hiking to surfing and much more.  You can zip-line through the rainforests of Brazil or go on a safari in Kenya.  Make sure you do your homework to ensure there’s plenty to do!  Some tropical resorts don’t offer much more than a beach and a hotel.

Need to Keep Your Honeymoon on a Budget?

As briefly mentioned previously, your budget is another factor that will largely influence the destination you pick.  A domestic honeymoon may cost less than traveling overseas simply when you consider airfare.  Or you may have to pick and choose which activities you do and sights you see.  If you’re looking for a luxurious stay in a five-star hotel but your budget prevents you from doing so, consider staying somewhere plush for one or two nights then switching to a more affordable hotel.
