In the lead-up to your big day, there are a number of aspects to look forward to, including spending time with loved ones, seeing your vision come to life, and, most importantly, saying “I do” to your partner. However, there’s another key tradition that may generate just as much excitement for you and your soon-to-be spouse: going on your honeymoon. While some couples depart for this getaway immediately following their weddings, others wait weeks—or even months—before jetting off. Regardless of when you choose to head out on this adventure, you’re likely envisioning a relaxing vacation that will allow you and your partner to spend quality time with one another and decompress from the stress of planning your nuptials. If that’s the case, you’re likely searching for a tropical honeymoon destination.
Vacationing in an island location offers you the best of both worlds; in addition to having pristine beaches, you’ll also be able to enjoy a number of excursions and adventures—from snorkeling and hiking to sailing and jet-skiing. Due to their proximity to the water, many of these spots also offer tons of fresh seafood, making your dining experience that much more impressive.
