The honeymoon is the perfect time to relax and enjoy each other, and your choice of location should give you the opportunity to do so. Are you looking for great places Ev for your honeymoon? Here are ten places that serve lovers best.

1. No mention of romantic getaways could be complete without Paris, France. Known as the most romantic city in the world with its fairy lights and European lifestyle, Paris calls to lovers from around the world. Of course, once you’re there, Paris connects easily with some beautiful locations in South France where you can rent a chalet, take vineyard tours, and bask in the warmth of the locals.

2. Venice with its long, winding canals and singing gondoliers has imprinted itself on the hearts of romantics everywhere. The experience is one that will last a lifetime.

3. The Caribbean brings lovers out in droves to its aquamarine waters and swaying palm trees. But if you’re trying to avoid the crowds and snuggle up on the white sands of a quiet beach, go to one of the less well-known islands. Some couples find it convenient to stay in the honeymoon suite of the big resorts and head out to the quieter islands during the day.

4. One of the most beautiful islands in French Polynesia, Bora Bora is an idyllic getaway for the romantic soul. Based around an extinct volcano covered in greenery, honeymooners will enjoy their stay in private bungalows on stilts that have been set up in the lagoon. Visitors are cautioned that they may never want to go home.

5. Take your sweetheart on a trip they’ll never forget with a slow-moving houseboat winding its way through the backwaters of Kerala. Known as the Venice of the east, Kerala has a wild untouched quality in the verdant greenery that sweeps across the land and reaches out to lovers as they wind down the rivers.

6. For something with a touch of history to it, head to Taormina, Sicily in Italy. The small town is based on the side of Monte Tauro near the Mt. Etna volcano. The clear waters of the sea beckon below and history lovers can walk through the medieval quarter and explore the castle ruins and Greek theater, which is still in use for summer performances.

7. New Zealand has shot to prominence since the release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy as a place of great peace and beauty. It’s easy to get lost in the tranquility as you relax by the side of a crystal clear mountain lake.

The village, in the midst of a 12th century castle, was gifted by King Dinis to Queen Isabel as a wedding present. The cobbled streets, Gothic architecture, and colorful houses all add up to a beautiful medieval experience.

10. For a unique experience, take a tour of the rainforest, swim under the waterfalls, and explore the ancient Mayan ruins in Belize. The perfect destination between November and May, Belize is home to the second longest barrier reef anywhere in the world.
