Enjoy Sports? Head to Lombok

Lombok is quieter than neighbouring Bali but has a lot of outdoor and sporting activities to enjoy. You'll find beautiful beaches along the coast as well, and surfing is popular at Kuta. Many people who visit Lombok go trekking in the tropical countryside, including around Gunung Rinjani, Indonesia's second-highest volcano. There's deep-sea fishing as well, for barracuda and tuna. Or, you can simply relax and enjoy the sound of the waves on the shoreline.


Try The Sira Lombok for a romantic honeymoon.

Want a Cooler Climate? Visit Orkney

Scotland is an excellent honeymoon destination and the ideal place to combine a cultural city break with a romantic island escape. The Orkney Islands are some of Scotland's finest, where you'll find beautiful beaches, spectacular places to hike, and birding opportunities. You'll find delicious food, and of course, there's whisky tasting. If you're looking for a quieter, more unusual honeymoon destination where the weather is changeable, Orkney hits the spot.


Try Grainback Mews for something different.

Looking for Laid Back and Relaxed? Head to Tobago

Tobago is famous for its peaceful vibe, beautiful beaches, fewer people, and an island full of lush vegetation.

K'gari Queensland Australia

Like Sandy Beaches? Try K'gari.

Australia is an island in itself, but one of the best ways to experience the country is to visit some islands off the coast. K'gari is the world's largest sand island. Although the ocean is too rough for swimming, the inland lakes are what make K'gari special. It's also close to the Great Barrier Reef, so diving to see the underwater world is a must on this World Heritage Site island. You'll find eucalyptus forests, wildlife, and a beautiful place to relax when you spend time in this destination. Combining the romance of K'gari with more of Australia could be a fantastic way to spend a honeymoon. Dingoes on K'gari - these are wild animals and have been known to attack and kill humans. Please ensure you are dingo aware before visiting this beautiful island of Australia.


Love Food and Romance? Sicily is the Place to Go

Sicily is a spectacularly beautiful island in the Mediterranean and is perfect for a romantic getaway. There are beautiful buildings, ancient architecture, a stunning coastline, and some fantastic hotels all over the island. You'll discover exciting towns too, but the star of the show is the food. Taste your way around Palermo's street food, taste granita in Noto, and visit olive farms in Western Sicily. You can even take a cooking lesson with a Sicilian nonna. In addition, you'll discover romantic restaurants, find vineyards on the slopes of Mount Etna, and enjoy exploring the food markets in Siracusa. Sicily is perfect for a honeymoon, especially if you love food.
