A honeymoon is an escape from the stress and hassle of your normal life, especially so when you've just had to spend several months intensely planning one of the most important days of your life. Getting away with your new spouse is a priority and it's vital to seize the chance to head somewhere exotic and exciting for your honeymoon if you can afford it. There are many places to go, but I'd like to put forward Tahiti and Her Islands as a fantastic choice for a honeymoon with the ultimate in luxury resorts and beaches, with a great variety of things to do on the days.
Tahiti and Her Islands are actually made up of over one hundred islands, each with its own culture and feel. The biggest and most well-known islands, like Tahiti and Bora Bora, are in the main archipelago. All of the islands are surrounded by a bed of coral that creates a barrier reef, which makes for not only fantastic scuba diving but also makes the water around many of the islands' beaches clear and calm.
The vast number of islands means that you can truly customize your honeymoon. The bigger islands are more popular with tourists and have a selection of historic destinations. The most famous artist to live on the islands was undoubtedly Paul Gauguin, who spent the last years of his life there and is buried in Calvary Cemetery on Atuona, Hiva Oa. His presence was so valued that today there is a museum dedicated to him along with a replica of his house and its contents. The islands were also visited by famed writers Robert Louis Stevenson and Charles Darwin among others. French Polynesia has a range of archaeological sites, one of my personal favourite places to explore, so you can walk in the footsteps of the many Polynesians that have been there before you.
These islands also offer a great deal of more conventional honeymooning activities. Thanks to the barrier reef, the islands are surrounded by calm turquoise waters which are vividly different than the deeper ocean blue. They are perfect for swimming and the more adventurous can snorkel among the tropical fish and coral formations. The beaches on all of the islands are beautiful and varied, with some gorgeous lagoons and bays perfect for a day's lounging. The most peaceful islands are often smaller inlets, where you can truly enjoy the island lifestyle. You'll feel as though you're in an adventure novel but with all the comforts of a modern resort. Some tour providers will even arrange for you to swim with manta rays and smaller sharks in the lagoons, surely an unforgettable experience.
Many of the islands also have mountains perfect for the more adventurous couple to attempt a climb. You can set out on a hike or join a safari to hit all the perfect spots for stunning scenery. One of the islands, Nuku Hiva, is home to the highest waterfall in the South Pacific, also the third highest waterfall in the world. This is all completely available for hiking and backpacking, so you are free to explore as you wish.
Tahiti and Her Islands can provide all the luxuries of a modern beach honeymoon with adventure, beauty, and history to spare. It's only one choice but I think it's quite a good one.
