Myrtiotissa


Buses to Vatos from Corfu Town take around 20 minutes to the Myrtiotissa turning, just over half a mile back from the beach. Parking is free but spots at a premium on the unsurfaced approach road. Corfu has multiple daily ferry crossings from Igoumenitsa and regular flights from Athens and the UK.
Myrtiotissa is tucked beneath steep cliffs and the southern half of its stretch of golden sand is now the island's prime nudist beach.

Nalaguraidhoo – Maldives


Have you ever dreamt of your own paradise? It’s time to wake up to experience a real tropical paradise where golden sand, glittering crystal clear blue water, swaying palm trees and cool sea breezes totally blow up your mind. The island is also known as Sun Island and always welcomes a massive crowd for the past 20 years. The grand lagoon-shaped island is the greatest spot for water sports like canoeing and snorkeling. Dive along the shallow tide to see splendid barrier reefs and the beauty under the sea.

Kuta Beach – Indonesia


Located in Bali, it’s needless for much description for the beauty of Kuta Beach. The beach is an astonishing paradise among the sunset, featuring cozy atmosphere, magnificent shorelines, dazzling clear water, a hot nightlife and a wide variety of finest cuisines. It’s absolutely the right place to pamper yourself with a number of shops, restaurants, galleries.

St. Lucia


The islands of the Caribbean offer something for everyone—from the all-inclusive resorts of Jamaica to the ultraluxe getaways of Turks & Caicos. For American honeymooners, one of the most popular destinations is tiny St. Lucia, located in the Lesser Antilles just south of Martinique. According to the Caribbean Tourism Organization Foundation, 11 percent of St. Lucia's annual visitors are newlyweds. Taking advantage of the St. Lucia Tourist Board's complete wedding packages, couples can even start their married life on the island itself.

The Bahamas


Of the 72,000 honeymooners who arrived in the Bahamas in 2008, approximately 60,000 were Americans. A fair proportion of those came via ship. According to the Cruise Lines International Association, cruise weddings are more popular than ever. Sixty percent of travel agents report an increase in cruise weddings over the last two years; nearly one-quarter also cite an uptick in shipboard weddings where guests are "along for the cruise." More than one-third of travel agents say their clients opt for a cruise wedding specifically to "combine a wedding with a honeymoon."

Tanjong Beach, Sentosa Island, Singapore


In a country more known shopping malls and other man-made wonders, Sentosa Island's three beaches are a very pleasant surprise. Palawan is for families, Siloso is an intense beach volleyball haven, but Tanjong is where fashionable urbanites head to lay out on wooden sunbeds (under umbrellas, of course), elegantly sip cocktails and catch-up on their reading. Couples also gather here at night to stroll along the beach and watch the twinkling lights in the harbor. Food, bars and of course, shopping options are plentiful, and you might even venture to Underwater World, a magnificent oceanarium with a moving walkway through a clear acrylic viewing tunnel.

Serasa Beach, Brunei


Proximity to the city—it's a mere 10-minute drive from Muara, makes this the beach of choice in the kingdom of Brunei. One of the wealthiest countries in Asia, thanks to its natural oil and gas resources, the high standard of living here is reflected in the landscaped beach park and facilities, and a devotion to recreation. Hyper-urbanites take to the water, jet-skiing, jet skiing, kayaking, windsurfing, regatta sailing, power boat racing, aqua sports training and water skiing. The nearby Serasa Watersports Complex has comprehensive instruction and equipment rentals, and even hosts international competitions, which are very popular with the amped-up crowds, who don't seem much impressed with just golden sand and crystal clear water.
