Top 10 Celebrity Approved Honeymoon Destinations

If celebrities know one thing, it’s how to travel in style, so when it comes to planning your honeymoon, why not take a leaf out of their book? Here’s Skyscanner’s round up of the top 10 celebrity approved honeymoon destinations.

1. Venice

A romantic gondola ride with your significant other through the beautiful waterways of this quaint city, taking in the centuries-old architecture and visiting museums in which pieces by artistic greats like Titan, Tintoretto, Canaletto and Tiepolo are found – all this and more could be your honeymoon. There’s a reason George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin chose to get married here, after all!

2. Seychelles

Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton chose this cluster of 115 islands east of the African coast for their honeymoon in 2011, and it’s easy to see why! From the pristine white sand and turquoise waters to the fantastic natural wild reserves and marine parks, the Seychelles are perfect for relaxation and tranquillity.

3. Positano

While you may have not yet have heard of this picturesque fishing village on the Amalfi coast, it’s where actress Reese Witherspoon chose to spend her honeymoon with Tim Roth. The enchanting village offers pristine waters and a beautiful coastline, with author John Steinbeck calling it “a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you are gone!”

4. Cancun

If you’re looking for a taste of the tropics for your honeymoon, Cancun is hard to beat – or so that’s what TV personality Jason Kennedy and his wife Lauren Scruggs think! From the second largest barrier reef in the world to major attractions like the archaeological site of El Rey, as well as the varied activities on offer including kayaking, golfing, fishing, submarine tours and parasailing, Cancun is a slice of tropical paradise.

5. Bora Bora

If your picture of the perfect honeymoon includes attending yoga classes on the beach and snorkelling in the beautiful waters of a huge lagoon and exploring the barrier reef, Bora Bora in French Polynesia ticks all the boxes. It’s where Jennifer Aniston and hubby Justin Theroux planned their honeymoon, and if it’s good enough for them, it’s certainly good enough for us!

6. Cork

While the Irish countryside may not instantly spring to mind when you think honeymoon, hear us out. There is a mystical air about the lush green pastures, and a number of historical ruins, such as an 800 year old castle built by the Knights Templar in the 18th century serve as a reflection of Ireland’s dynamic history. Kim Kardashian and Kayne West honeymooned at the ultra-luxurious Castlemartyr Resort here, so we’re sure you’ll be well taken care of too!

7. Boracay

Filipino actor Dingdong Dantes and his wife Marian Rivera chose Boracay in the Philippines for their honeymoon, and the postcard sandy beaches are certainly enticing. Activities on offer here range from cruising around in sailboats or, parasailing and all types of water sports.

8. Fiji

Dense jungles, sandy beaches and coconut groves make this archipelago of 332 islands a honeymoon dream destination, and Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban seem to agree! Fiji offers an exotic beauty that is hard to beat, so much so that Hollywood movie The Blue Lagoon was shot here.

9. Santorini

The characteristic blue and white landscape of Santorini in Greece comes as no surprise in this list. Witness glorious sunrises and sunsets from its tranquil beaches, explore the quaint white houses, enjoy a donkey ride and take in the stunning rock formations from a sailing tour – we’re sure you won’t want to come back!

10. Maldives

This Indian Ocean paradise is one of the world’s most popular honeymoon destinations, with celebrities like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes flocking here to celebrate their love.
