Our Top 5 Unique Honeymoon Destinations

You’ve spent months planning the big event and now it’s time to choose where you’ll be going on your honeymoon to unwind and bask in the glory of each other’s love during your first days as Mr. and Mrs. Sure, Hawaii, Mexico, and the Bahamas all sound nice, but almost everyone you know has gone there for their honeymoon. Instead, opt for a more original and unique place where you and your significant other can make special (romantic and fun) memories that you will remember for the rest of your lives together. Here, our team at DiamondWish.com uncovers our favorite unique honeymoon destinations, giving you the inside take on each of these amazing places!

Lake Como, ItalyWe start our list in Italy, where you can relax with picturesque views of Lake Como’s epic water-front scenery. Lago di Como, as Italians call it, is undoubtedly one of Europe’s most beautiful sights where the lake’s rich blue water meets the mountainside to provide a rustic setting that you can unwind at with your new husband or wife. Take a romantic hike in one of the many amazing mountain trails, explore the lake with a glass of wine on a boat ride, and enjoy delicious food and fine wine at world-class restaurants during your honeymoon in exquisite Lake Como.

Havana, CubaCuba had been off-limits to Americans for decades until 2016 when direct flights from many US cities began to pop up. While in Cuba, you’ll enjoy Havana’s rich history and signature 1950’s charm that includes vintage cars and colorful Spanish colonial architecture (which make for the coolest picture ops, by the way). Best of all? Havana boasts an array of activities for a honeymoon, from mambo dancing at one of Havana’s impressive cafes to sunbathing at one of the city’s pristine beaches.

Bali, IndonesiaWelcome to Bali, a tropical paradise where you and your lover can enjoy each other’s company while sipping your favorite cocktails on the immaculate beaches. Bali offers some of the world’s most epic sceneries that include golden sands and clear waters with lush tropical greenery serving as the backdrop. When you’re ready to call it a day at the beach, get some down time at your room in one of Bali’s many ultra-luxurious hotels.

Santa Barbara, CA (US)Where do Hollywood’s biggest celebrities go when they want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles? That’s right, Santa Barbara, California. California’s quaint beachside city is home to some of the most exclusive hotels in the US which have the radiant blue waters of the Pacific Ocean showcased as their backdrop. After getting a relaxing couple’s massage in your lavish hotel suite, enjoy a romantic sunset dinner overlooking the water at any one of the city’s fine dining establishments. You don’t have to go far for a one-of-a-kind honeymoon destination when you have Santa Barbara right in your backyard!

Ambergris Caye, BelizeFor the final unique honeymoon destination on our list, we travel to an exotic island off the coast of Belize, where newlywed couples can enjoy the white-sand beaches and seclusion of award-winning Ambergris Caye. The extremely private island (one reason why it has become a celebrity hotspot) is home to some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world, as well as five-star accommodations that have been specifically designed with honeymooners in mind. Relish the warm tropical weather, delicious food (the ceviche is a must!), and cozy beachside aura of Ambergris Caye, because you’ll be dreaming of coming back as soon as you leave.
