Welcome to our holiday weather guide where you can find an instant snap-shot of weather conditions at the world's top honeymoon & holiday destinations.

Origins of honeymoon...

The English language use of honeymoon (hony moone) was first recorded in 1546.

Hony moone is often defined as post-wedding holiday, originally from honey, in reference to that charmed period when married love was as sweet as honey; and moon – in reference to how long it would probably last – it was assumed to wane like the moon and for roughly the same time frame, but later in time the sense of honeymoon became to be understood as ‘the first month after marriage’.

Combine your wedding and honeymoon

Destination weddings are increasingly popular. And why not? Combining wedding vows with an idyllic romantic getaway provides the simplicity of one coordinated wedding-honeymoon package.

One plan, one price and one destination mean one big romantic adventure!

From the pristine wedding destinations of Fiji, Bora Bora, Tahiti, Maui, the Cook Islands and Bali to the squeaky-clean, sugar-white beaches of Thailand, Mauritius, the Seychelles and the Maldives, the choice of honeymoon destinations grows each year.

Closer to home – if you live in Australia or New Zealand – the Whitsunday Islands and the Gold Coast host stunning beaches and are among the most popular destinations for a beach wedding in Australia.
