Greek Islands sounds great too.

Also I read somewhere that Seychilles is cool too.

You may want to check out St. Lucia- It is incredibly beautiful island with many natural sites to see, and not a built up tourist trap. There is some night life, and various activities to try depending on how ambitious you want to be on your honeymoon.

i have to say HAWAII is one of my fave places on earth. i have not been to too many, but it changed my life. maybe one of these will interest you. myself i would avoid anywhere that does not speak english, has kidnappers/high crime, is too far away (as the time change can be BRUTAL).

Top Honeymoon Destinations

When picking your honeymoon location, it might be a good idea to see what are the favorites of newlyweds. Honeymoon hotspots can change as the trends change, so keep up to date. Storms and disasters can change a beautiful location suddenly. Choose your destination based on what you love to do and how you would like to spend your time.

1. Hawaii
Dramatic coastlines, volcanoes, green forests, native Hawaiian culture, tropical breezes, white sand beaches, spectacular resorts. This is the magic that brings couples to Hawaii for the best in honeymoon getaways.

2. Mexico
A vast country with enough variety to please all. Bask in the sun at posh resorts along the Baja coast, visit the valley of Oaxaca for a taste of the ancient Mayans, ride the train through majestic canyon after canyon, shop until you drop, you will find it all in Mexico!

3. Jamaica
Passion is inevitable on this tropical paradise island. Jamaica is the place if you are looking for non-stop nightlife. If the bar scene isn’t for you, stay in one of Jamaica’s all-inclusive adults-only resorts. If you are a nature lover, take a leisurely bamboo raft trip or explore the many caves and waterfalls that abound in its green forests.

4. 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. Sip a cool tropical drink in your hammock. Walk through a rain forest while viewing the ocean. Truly a newlywed’s paradise.

With only a short distance to the U.S. mainland, the Bahamas is close and beautiful. Over 700 islands make up the Bahamas, with white-sandy beaches and a variety of accommodations to choose from to meet any budget.

6. Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic has become a beautiful, affordable island destination. Being a larger island, that doesn’t just focus on tourism, you can get some great deals. There are many all-inclusives that will meet the needs of most couples.

7. French Polynesia
How do you describe paradise? Many call it Tahiti! With many islands to choose from, including favorites Bora Bora and Moorea. From its natural beauty to its Polynesian hospitality. If you do not want to share your new spouse with anyone, this is the place to be. Even its resorts are designed for your love to burn and grow.

8. 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.

9. Antigua
Antigua is an ideal tropical destination, with gorgeous beaches, perfect reefs for snorkeling or diving, and great weather – the trade winds reduce the humidity and create the perfect climate.
