Orpheus Island provides a perfect backdrop to your special fortnight. Located on the Great Barrier Reef it is a stunning, yet idyllic, honeymoon paradise.

Paris – France
Probably the most romantic city on earth, Paris ticks all of the boxes when it comes to a honeymoon destination. The Eiffel Tower is a sight that everyone should see at least once in their life. And the food is out of this world, it’s not a cheap place to visit but worth every penny.
Maldives
An excellent choice for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle for a few weeks. You will be astounded by the lovely scenery and it will be very hard to leave, sadly. Your in-laws will be a distant memory for the spellbinding time that you are here.
Jamaica
Jamaica is somewhat of a specialist in the honeymoon department. All-inclusive packages for couples are all the rage and they even have ‘honeymoon-only’ hotels and resorts. You can kick back and start to plan the rest of your lives together on this beautiful and charming reggae island.
