Its comfortably warm climate is the perfect weather for a hand-in-hand stroll down the beach and the breath-taking backdrops are equally ideal for the photos that you’re going to cherish for a lifetime.

Iceland, the land of fire and ice | If you and your loved one wish to climb up and heli-ski down the glaciers, explore exceptionally sumptuous Nordic cuisines or seep in the inherent romance of the therapeutic hot springs – Iceland is just your ticket for being adventurous and nonchalant (as you may please).

This Scandinavian island might be cold but there is enough fire in its habitat that will keep your romance flowing. Its abundant luxury resorts suffice for panoramic views of mountains topped with icing of glaciers and unexplainably serene backdrops of one-of-a-kind flora makes the stay truly magical, especially if you have your beloved by the side; but the wonders of Iceland doesn’t stop here, despite the nature’s luxury you also have a number of things to add to your list – be it exploring the nearby geysers, idyllic waterfalls, a drive to the countryside, and enlivening experiences like playing with the famed Blue Lagoon. Let’s not forget, you can also catch a glimpse of the phenomenal northern lights if your travel happens to be between September-October or February-March, which makes Iceland all the more special.

Be charmed by Morocco | There’s nothing more romantic than unravelling the diverse culture of a country that’s known for its traditional morocco affairs. It is the ideal place to explore the imposing Atlas Mountains, ancient mosques, and colourful bustling markets. Especially the fact that it is one of those few destinations which provide 360 demographic pleasures – be it hills, sand dunes, oceans or sea views. Here’s what you should definitely do: Have tea-dates on your tour of Marrakech, learn how to cook traditional Moroccan cuisines (almost all prestigious hotels provide these short and fun classes), ride a 4X4 over the sand dunes in the Sahara Desert, unwind your day adventures at a spa retreat in Fez, and gracefully glide into stargazing nights through the clear skies of this beautiful country. You could also try glamping in the uber-luxurious tents! We suggest, without thinking twice, you should do it all!

Belize is what honeymoon dreams are made of | This sweet little country that people hardly know of or consider for their honeymoon is the ultimate ‘tranquil paradise’ on the eastern coast of Central America. With a very little population density (about 3,60,000 only) this heavenly place lets you be the Adam and Eve and enjoy the maximum quality time together amidst the pristine landscapes sans interruptions. Spend endless days here by the secluded waters, dense jungles, mangrove channels, and the ancient Maya temples and caves. If you’re lucky to tie-knots during spring you’d be thrilled to watch the flora of Belize layered in piles of beautiful orchids. In case your mood says ‘adventure’, drive your way to the Caribbean sea and try spelunking, river tubing, and white water rafting. Given the perfect ingredients for a honeymoon recipe, a few days in Belize can transport you to a time back when nature stirred the soul. Experience it before you could land back on earth!

Best time to visit: November to mid-April
