1. Bali, Indonesia

The most popular with newlyweds, combining nature in Ubud (villas among forests and rice fields) with the sea in Uluwatu and Nusa Dua. Private pool villas exist at almost every level. Best time: April to October. Read the 7-night Bali honeymoon itinerary and the best private pool villas in Bali.

2. Krabi, Thailand

Spectacular limestone cliffs and quiet islands. Railay is reachable only by boat, so it feels secluded, and Ao Nang has many halal restaurants. Best time: November to April.

For couples who want luxury resorts and more to do. For peace, choose Kamala, Mai Khao or Bang Tao instead of busy Patong. Best time: November to April.

The golden choice for a summer honeymoon, when Phuket is rainy. Hillside villas with sea views and quiet beaches. Best time: January to August. See the best hotels in Koh Samui.

5. Langkawi, Malaysia
