4 Incredible Honeymoon Destinations You’ve Never Thought Of

It’s easy to think “honeymoon” and conjure up all of the usual locations synonymous with love and nuptials. Paris in the springtime, over-water bungalows in the Maldives, the waterways of Venice…

True, all of these places are wonderful honeymoon destinations, but what if you want to take the opportunity to ring in your new life together doing something that’s a little bit different? And ideally, that’ll be somewhere that you haven’t already visited before. That strikes quite a few off the list, doesn’t it?

We’ve found 4 incredible and totally awe-inspiring places worth considering if you’re on the hunt for a honeymoon destination less travelled…
