It’s supposed to be the biggest, most romantic and opulent trip of your life. You’re supposed to go somewhere exotic, do something you’ve never done, spend more than you’ve ever spent and get pampered like you’ve never… well, you know. When you need to pull out all the stops, hold nothing back and be completely floored, you need to visit these top honeymoon destinations.

Remember how you claimed to love long walks on the beach? Prove it at the palm-fringed white sands of the US Virgin Islands and the tropical coastlines of Kauai. Fancy yourselves foodies? Enjoy the fruits of one of the world’s best wine-growing and food-growing regions, Napa. Relive the Renaissance in Florence, then duck out to a countryside villa. Experience the joie de vivre spirit of a cosmopolitan Montreal and the cool beach attitude of good-looking Sydney. Indulge in the resorts of Phuket and the glittering casinos of Nassau. Swim with dolphins in the warm waters of Acapulco, and witness spectacular sunsets of at the “last paradise on earth,” Bali.

It all spells love. Whether you want to get back to nature at eco-tents or laze poolside at plush resorts, stare into coral reefs or the world’s most famous art, this is the one time to do it. And do it big.
