Top Honeymoon Destinations for 2015
With Engagement season well underway, one of the biggest decisions newly engaged couples will make is “where to honeymoon?” The real question to answer first is, "what type of honeymoon are you looking for?" Do you want a relaxing week poolside with a cocktail in hand, a bucket list destination honeymoon, a road trip adventure, a wine lover/foodie vacation... With so many options, we have nailed down our favorite hotspots for 2015.
South Africa
While many people are scared to even come near the continent of Africa right now, It's the perfect time to visit this diverse country for an adventurous, relaxing, and wine lover/foodie vacation. South Africa has it all.
Begin your honeymoon with a luxury safari in Kruger National Park where you can enjoy game drives, relaxing poolside afternoons and romantic dinners out in the wilderness.
Then head to Cape Town to enjoy one of the best cities in the world with 5 star restaurants, stunning beaches and endless nightlife. From Cape Town, you can head 45 minutes north to the Winelands, where you can indulge in some of the world's highly sought after wines and amazing local cuisine.
Where to stay? Royal Malewane, Clouds Estate
Belize
Belize is full of culture, spaces to breath, amazing food and long days of soaking up the sun.
Enjoy a day of snorkeling to see some of the best underwater wild life the sea has to offer, sip on fun tropical cocktails, chat with the friendly locals, and spend long days under an umbrella.
Where to stay? Cayo Espanto
This luxury private island is an exclusive getaway where you will be treated like royalty. This Private Island resort is all inclusive so once you arrive, you can sit back, relax and be worry free.
English Countryside
While I certainly love the Tuscan Countryside in Italy, the English Countryside has so much to offer with wonderful places to stay, eat, and explore...not too mention, amazing history!

Portugal
Portugal is the hidden gem of the Mediterranean. Why love Portugal?
The people, the weather, the food, and the prices are what put Portugal on our top list. Portugal is an affordable European holiday. Enjoy a bottle of wine and local fish just off the boat for a 1/3 of what you would pay in Italy or Spain.
Where to stay? Casas Na Areia
Casas Na Areia is located in Comporta Portugal, a small fishing village ideal for a honeymoon destination. Casas Na Areia is comprised of 4 "glamping" style bungalows which are literally right on the sand. Each of the bungalows are self catered and include a full kitchen and dining area. Casas Na Areia is also a quick stroll or bike ride into town where there are an abundance of great seaside restaurants.
