The Sweet and Saucy Top Ten: Honeymoon Destinations

The secret no one ever tells you are that weddings are stressful and they can sometimes put a strain on even the best of relationships. Now that you have passed the “big day”, put some planning into the really fun part. Take some time and escape with your new hubby to some romantic destination. Travel, find adventure, make memories, but also find some time to reconnect after the madness of the wedding. Here are some Sashay favorites to do just that.

1. Belize, South America
What can we say about Belize except that it is an absolute Sashay favorite. From the beaches to the jungle this destination has something for everyone. For the Beach, Belize Turtle Inn is a must! As a Frances Ford Coppola Resort, you know you are in for a treat at this fresh and clean beach destination featuring outstanding resort architecture.
2. We have to go with Belize again.
This time venture into the jungle at the Blancaneaux Resort. Located in the heart of the jungle and right on the river, you can swim, hike and just stay cuddled in your personal, modern but rustic, jungle bungalow.
3. The British Virgin Islands
These Islands can be reached in a quick trip, but they are truly a world away. The barefoot elegance of The Bitter End Yacht Club is a Sashay favorite. Located on the island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, The Bitter End is uniquely situated along a mile of shore front on the protected waters of the North Sound and is boasted as the Caribbean’s premiere luxury water sports resort, hosting romantic getaways, and idyllic escapes for all.
4. Fiji
Fiji has it all if you are looking to fill that image of white powder beaches with beautiful palm trees, green mountains sweeping to the sea, warm tropical breezes, and lots of secluded resorts scattered among its 300+ islands. Loose track of time as you stand in both today and yesterday at Maravu Resort, located on the International Dateline. This is a Sashay favorite where “they say” you experience 7 seasons in every day.
5. Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada
Warm up with your sweetie by the fire after a romantic sleigh ride. The Fairmont Chateau may be worth your exploration is you and your new hubby are more snow than sun.
6. Mangiss, Bali, Indonesia

Even savvy world travelers can find fresh and enchanting destinations to celebrate a new life together. If a blend of culture and romance are what you are looking for, Amankila Resort may be your dream come true.
7. Tahiti
How do you describe paradise? Many call it Tahiti! Tahiti has islands to choose from, including favorites Bora Bora and Moorea. Check out Bora Bora Lagoon Resort which is nestled on an island in the lagoon of Bora Bora, this resort invites newlyweds to revel in post-wedding privacy in a bungalow perched above the lagoon on high stilts.
8. Florence, Italy

If it's romance you're after, a trip to Florence guarantees starry eyes, hearty meals, amazing art and much more. Try the Grand Hotel Florence, which is housed in a former 18th-century palace overlooking the Arno river, the rooms at the Grand Hotel are oozing with Florentine culture.
9. St. Lucia
A bit of France, a bit of Britain, and a nature-lovers paradise including a volcano. Great snorkeling in clear, blue warm waters. Walk through a rain forest while viewing the ocean. Truly a newlywed's paradise.
10. Hawaii
This may be an old standard, but will never to be out shined. You can island hop or choose your favorite for some true relaxation and honeymoon fun.
