Unique and untraveled islands don’t always have to be expensive! Your budget-friendly honeymoon option is here - the hidden gem of Côn Đảo, an archipelago off the southeastern coast of Vietnam. Phú Quốc may be the popular kid on the block, but Côn Đảo offers a secluded paradise with soaring cliffs, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear waters that'll take your breath away. Imagine the beauty of the Amalfi Coast without the hordes of tourists. After a short one-hour flight from Ho Chi Minh City, you'll arrive at Côn Sơn, the main island of the archipelago. To explore the area's most remote spots, rent a motorbike or hire a private guide. Discover a 19th-century hilltop lighthouse and the surreal Dam Tre Bay lagoon - both worth the journey!

Skopelos, Greece

Want to do Europe without the usual haunts? We found you the perfect one. Remember the stunning beach from the iconic movie ‘Mamma Mia’. Skopelos is THAT island! So perfect for your honeymoon adventures. An hour-long ferry ride from Skiathos, the island of Skopelos is so picture-perfect with hidden coves, charming taverns, and hundreds of Byzantine-era churches that you may fall in love with your partner all over again!

Great Barrier Island, New Zealand

A honeymoon on Barrier Island, New Zealand, is the perfect escape for nature-loving couples.

This one is as private and secluded as one can get on their honeymoon! Have you ever stayed on an island that is on a lake – if not, this is the one to go to. Only a short boat ride from Granada, the island features seven stunning treehouse casitas made from locally sourced Nicaraguan timber. Enjoy organic cuisine and relax by the private pool while taking in the picturesque surroundings. For an adventure, explore the nearby Mombacho volcano and its cloud forest. Perhaps even try ziplining for an unforgettable experience.

Iriomote Island, Japan

For a honeymoon that defies expectations, consider Okinawa prefecture in Japan. Here, tropical islands like the secret jungle paradise of Iriomote await, with waterfalls, mangrove forests, and pristine beaches like Ida no Hama.

Snorkel, dive, and paddleboard during the day and enjoy stunning views of the bay and offshore islands in the evening. Okinawa Prefecture is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable honeymoon experience.

Mnemba Island, Zanzibar

Zanzibar is not just one island – you have a bunch of stunning private islands that you can go to! Drifting in an aqua lagoon in the Zanzibar archipelago, Mnemba is nothing short of a honeymooner’s paradise! The sparkling waters are perfect for swimming, kayaking, and snorkelling over coral reefs, and, at sunset, cruising on the resort's dhow, a traditional Arabic sailboat. Learn about Zanzibar's legendary spices on a tour of Tangawizi, a working spice plantation and cooking school outside Stone Town.
