A beach break is an iconic choice for a relaxing, indulgent honeymoon. Discover some of the most incredible destinations in the world to enjoy a romantic escape for two.
Seychelles
Surrounded by nature and named after the unique Coco de Mer palm trees dotted around the property, the Coco De Mer Hotel & Black Parrot Suites offer modern, four-star accommodation in over 200 acres of natural beauty. The hotel is flanked by several small beaches which form part of the large bay at Anse Bois de Rose, and there are guided walks so you can discover the wildlife of Praslin, including Black Parrots, turtles, and tropical fruit bats.
"I particularly liked the Coco De Mer which was a small boutique hotel, the staff were exceptionally friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were spacious with a contemporary feel. One of the amazing features is an over water platform with areas for lounging and relaxing"

Finland is often linked with winter trips to Lapland, but there’s much more to discover across the country. From design-led cities to quiet lakes and coastal landscapes, it offers a different pace of travel that feels both refreshing and easy to explore. If you’re looking for a European destination that combines nature, culture, and something a little less expected, Finland is well worth considering.
Albania has all the ingredients of a classic European escape, with clear Ionian waters, historic towns, mountain scenery, and long, leisurely meals, but it still feels refreshingly different from its better-known neighbours. One trip can take you from Tirana’s colourful streets to centuries-old hilltop fortresses, quiet coastal coves, and walking trails in the Albanian Alps. Its compact size makes it possible to see several sides of the country in one holiday, while family-run guesthouses, small restaurants, and local guides give each stop plenty of personality.
Few destinations offer as much to discover as South Africa, and recently, a group of Travel Counsellors experienced just how varied a journey here can be. From the dramatic landscapes of the Panorama Route to unforgettable safari moments in Kruger National Park, time spent with local tourism partners, and a deeply moving visit to Soweto, the trip offered the kind of first-hand insight that helps shape more personal, meaningful holidays for customers. It was a reminder that South Africa isn’t only about big-name sights; it’s about the people, places, flavours, and small moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned home.
