So, being the friendly folks we are, we decided to help you out with the 10 best honeymoon locations of 2018! Cheggit!

The group of 115 islands that make of the Seychelles Archipagelo are almost too beautiful to be real. With lush green jungles and crystal warm water infused with sparkling granite, this place makes for a perfect honeymoon destination choice.

8. Norway
Many people head to the beach for their honeymoon, but we think a winter holiday sounds just as dreamy. Norway is so beautiful, it’s really hard to compare its beauty to anything else. It has that unique Scandinavian beauty that is a mix classically rustic and a little wild. A honeymoon holiday here would be perfect for those who have spent just a little too much time at the beach and are looking for a change.
9. Tahiti
The largest among the French Polynesian islands, Tahiti is surrounded by volcanic mountains and black beaches. With luxurious over-water bungalows and crystal clear water, it makes for a calm and relaxing honeymoon destination for people looking to unwind and relax.
10. Kenya
Feeling a little wild and exotic? Kenya is the perfect destination for you! Let’s be honest, who hasn’t dreamed of seeing a pride of lions in the Masai Mara, or having an elephant graze right outside their tent at night. Kenya is the ultimate destination for a romantic African safari just like the olden days. #Throwback anyone?
