Maldives · Indian Ocean

9/10Overall

Total, uninterrupted immersion in turquoise water, white sand, and the kind of privacy that makes the rest of the world feel very far away. The ultimate overwater villa honeymoon with world-class snorkelling from your deck.

Mexico · Central America

8/10Overall

The easiest international honeymoon from the United States. Three-hour flights from Texas, a food culture UNESCO declared Intangible Cultural Heritage, and a country that stretches from Tulum cenotes to Cabo desert drama to Oaxaca mezcal country.
