5. Antigua
Antigua is a great little Caribbean island. It has excellent beaches and even better hotels. Home to several wonderful and intimate resorts, Antigua is laid back and relaxing. If you are looking to just get away from it all, be pampered, and enjoy a perfect beach, then Antigua is the place for you.
4. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Cabo is known for its great golf and deep sea fishing, but it is also home to some amazing world-class resorts and some incredibly romantic locations. Blessed with year-round warmth, amazing beaches, and stunning coastal views, Cabo is one honeymoon spot you really should consider.
3. San Francisco, California
The City by the Bay is arguably the most romantic city in North America. With its breathtaking coastline, world-class dining, wonderful hotels, and the most amazing city views, San Francisco is the perfect romantic getaway for thos
e seeking a more cosmopolitan experience. As an added bonus, the wonderful Napa Valley is just an hour away, making for a great day trip from the city. Take a hot air balloon ride over the wineries, and top the day off with a perfect gourmet dinner and a bottle of local wine - now that's a honeymoon experience to remember!
2. St. Lucia
One of the most beautiful islands in all of the Caribbean, St. Lucia is also home to some incredible romantic hotels set in about the most beautiful locations you can imagine. A volcanic island, St. Lucia is known for its steep peaks covered in lush tropical greenery. It is truly a romantic paradise, with amazing beaches, dramatic coves, and incredible sunsets. Saint Lucia is the perfect place for a quiet, romantic honeymoon.
1. Riviera Maya, Mexico
Located south of Cancun on Mexico's eastern Caribbean coast, the Riviera Maya is home to white sand beaches, stunning turquoise waters, and ancient Mayan pyramids and other ruins. There are some wonderful new hotels along the Riviera Maya too. The area is great for those seeking modern comforts combined with the opportunity for adventure. Venture out from your luxury hotel to explore the pyramids or go diving in ancient underground rivers. The Riviera Maya is a great place for anyone looking for that perfect mix of romance, excitement, culture, and vibrant nightlife, and it's one of my favorite romantic destinations.
