Mention a honeymoon location, and images of exotic islands and white beaches come to mind. This all true, but you want that something special and exotic to cap off your wedding.

Exotic Honeymoons Off The Beaten Path

Planning your honeymoon is a fun and exciting time. Choosing where to go, however, can be a bit tricky. There are so many wonderful and enjoyable places throughout the world that can be the site of your first vacation as a married couple - so how do you pick? If you're looking for a trip that's a bit out of the ordinary and different from where everyone else goes, why not choose something exotic?

The best place to find exotic honeymoons is in the region east of Australia and New Zealand, which includes the islands of Fiji, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Cook Island and Hawaii. While many people choose Hawaii for their honeymoon, if you select one of these destinations, you'll be sure to have a jaw dropping experience you will never forget. Yep, you will be leaving the confines of the United States for a place a bit more exotic.

Fiji is a great place to start when looking into honeymoons in this region. There are many secluded islands here, where small private resorts offer getaways that cater to just a few couples at a time. Private beaches offer the ultimate in seclusion, and some of the beaches can even be closed off just for you! One such small resort is the Navutu Stars Resort, located on Yasawa Islands in Fiji. This adults-only resort is perfect for those who want a luxurious boutique-hotel feel, while being on an exotic, secluded island. With only nine bungalows (or bures) available for stays at this resort, you'll get personalized service and you won't have to deal with crowds. Seven of the bures are on the beach, only 20 meters from the water, and they offer king size beds along with island décor. These small hut-style bungalows are a perfect romantic retreat for newlyweds.

If you prefer a different slice of paradise in the region, look no further than the island of Tahiti. Here, you can choose to stay in a full-featured hotel or small bungalow, depending on your taste and budget. One resort that has both styles of accommodation to choose from is the Bora Bora Nui Resort, located in French Polynesia (the Tahitian Islands). This island paradise, set on a private island on the tip of a lagoon, offers beautiful water views, spa retreats and snorkeling with views of tropical fish. This is a personal favorite and highly recommended!

If you are looking for a different sort of island trip with the luxury you want on a vacation as well as the seclusion you need on a honeymoon, you can?t go wrong with any of the areas mentioned above. Choosing one will be sure to create a memory that you'll never forget, and introduce you to a place you'll want to revisit. When you get down to it, isn?t that exactly what you want from your honeymoon?
