Why go: Bali has long been a haven for holiday-makers and sun-lovers, but as a honeymoon destination it offers something for everyone. Whether its surfing or snorkelling at Dreamland or Uluwatu, getting pampered at one of the many resorts and spas or kicking back with a cold Bintang, fresh fruit and seafood at Jimbaran Bay, a honeymoon in Bali is the trip of a lifetime.
Fresh Idea: Enjoy a picnic brunch by Serenity Beach at Grand Nikko Bali. Hot croissants, fresh fruit, mimosas and exquisite views await you.

Why Go: A mosaic of old and new, Turkey is brimming with culture and bursting with character. From the bustling markets and historical sites of old Istanbul to the fantasy-like rock formations of Cappadocia. Finish your trip off with a visit to the town of Kas, an unspoilt fishing village on the Aegean coast with a wonderfully bohemian atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to chill out.
Fresh Idea: Don’t miss indulging in a Turkish bath in a hamam. You’ll emerge refreshed, detoxed and squeaky clean from head to toe after being showered, saunaed and scrubbed.

Why Go: A land of extremes, the USA has it all. Whether you’re seeking sky-scraping cities, rugged mountains, sweeping rivers and dramatic canyons or the solitary sweetness of a road trip down Route 66, do your research and plan ahead to make sure you see it all.
Fresh Idea: Treat yourself to a staycation in Pennsylvania’s Poconos Mountains. The region is a wonderland of forest peaks, shimmering lakes and stunning river valleys, and local resorts are perfect for a cosy romantic getaway.

Why Go: Made up of 54 countries, Africa is the second largest continent in the world and a land of boundless beauty and limitless discovery.
