The Bombus Top Pick for visiting The Maldives as one of your honeymoon destinations?

Kuredu

This is one of the larger islands open to tourists. While some can take you less than five minutes to cross from east to west, this is a little bigger and may take up to half an hour to walk end-to-end. However the facilities are exceptional. Sip tea at their tea house on the pier, swim and snorkel by their very own naturally occurring Manta cleaning station, or sip a cocktail at the end of the sand spit that trails out into the Indian Ocean.

4 Greece

Greece and its islands have been the number one destination for all kinds of holidays and occasions throughout 2021 and 2022. Thanks to its relatively short flight time from the UK, and its warm climate, we have chosen Greece as a perfect destination to get us all back into travelling after a few years staying close to home. With its excellent food, Mediterranean climate, and warm and welcoming people, Greece is a certainly a crowd pleaser. And with the stunning volcanic and craggy landscape it makes the perfect romantic back drop for honeymoon memories.

A town like no other?

Clovelly is owned by one family and has been for hundreds of years. Set along a steep hill that leads to the sea, the residents of Clovelly open up their village to tourists to share in the unique and picturesque location.

There are a number of B&Bs to stay in, and a quaint pub set at the harbour with views out across the sea. There are no roads directly through the village, and residents still use sledges to drag their shopping up and down the hill to their homes. The donkeys that used to do this work have been retired, but are still in the village and available for visits at certain times of the year.

With a pottery, several shops, and cafes, Clovelly is a beautiful and romantic base as a gateway to the rest of Devon and the South West.

1 St Lucia

Heading to the Caribbean is always a popular choice for honeymooners. But our number one destination isn’t Jamaica, as expected! It’s not even Cuba, or Barbados! The most popular honeymoon destination for 2022 is St. Lucia. A calm and beautiful island in the middle of the Caribbean sea. We particularly love St. Lucia at Bombus as it is the only sovereign nation to be named after a woman! This island has everything you might want for a romantic, warm, exotic holiday. Which is why it appeals to a huge number of you. You can choose the type of holiday you want to have on St. Lucia. From adventurous, to ultra-relaxing. The island has it all to offer.
