2. Bora Bora

Arguably the most famous island in the South Pacific, Bora Bora is French Polynesia’s crown jewel. Many people dream about spending their honeymoon in the bungalows over the turquoise waters of Bora Bora’s lagoon. It’s the ultimate romantic getaway and its appeal is only boosted by the fact that it seems a world away. In fact, Bora Bora is less than an hour away by plane from Tahiti, with regular flights from Papeete to the local airport.

Most resorts are built on their own island, called motu, and include famous chains like Four Seasons, Intercontinental and Sofitel. From lounging on your own private deck and receiving room service via canoe, to indulging in a spa treatment, Bora Bora’s resorts allow you to spend your honeymoon in a secluded and luxurious setting.

3. Tahiti

Tahitians like to say their island is embraced by mana, the life force that surrounds and connects all living things. Experience the majestic mountain peaks, turquoise waters and white-sand beaches of Tahiti with your significant other, exploring the island’s interior on a 4×4 safari, guided nature hike, or horseback ride.

The couple’s package includes intimate resorts, pristine beaches, luxurious spas and romantic cruises. The Polynesian islands abound in sights, sounds, and experiences that you can discover via a romantic cruise, walking through the villages, or guided hiking trips into the mountains for an overview of the land and ocean.

4. Seychelles

The Seychelles is exactly what it appears to be in all those photographs you’ve seen: the sand is really that white, the sea is really that blue and those giant boulders weren’t added in Photoshop, they’re really there. Seychelles is an island paradise that cannot be described, it has to be experienced and a honeymoon is a perfect time to visit this archipelago in the Indian Ocean.

From private island resorts to spa hotels and charming guesthouses, Seychelles offers memorable stays in stunning natural surroundings. Under the Seychelles Secrets brand, the islands’ finest small hotels, guesthouses, self-catering chalets and holiday homes welcome their visitors, providing some of the magic and intimacy of the Creole way of life.

5. Santorini

Possibly the most popular of Greece’s islands, Santorini is a rare island that combines beautiful beaches, ancient cities, spectacular scenery, multicolored cliffs and great restaurants. Modern Santorini is what remains of the ancient island of Thera after a massive volcanic eruption.

Fira, the island’s capital, is built on the steep cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea, its white houses in stark contrast with the red cliffs. One of the best known beaches on the island lies 12km away from Fira. Red Beach has black volcanic sand and offers spectacular views of Santorini’s caldera. The island is famous for its romantic sunsets, when the reflection on the buildings and the glow of the red cliffs creates an amazing spectacle.

We recommend mooring your boat at Marina Vlikhada.
