Explore These Unique Destinations For a Not-So-Typical Honeymoon

As you begin planning your honeymoon, you might want to venture beyond the beaten track. Paris or Hawaii might be popular choices for great reasons, but intrepid couples don’t always want to follow trends and visit the same spots that so many other newlyweds do.

If you and your soon-to-be-spouse want something new and exciting, consider an atypical honeymoon in one of these unique destinations across the globe.

Quebec City, Canada

Rather than paying a fortune to visit France, stay within North America and see what the French-influenced Quebec City has to offer. This charming, old world city boasts plenty of incredible attractions as well as romantic destinations.

View incredible architecture like the Chateau Frontenac from a horse-drawn carriage, stroll hand in hand through the Place-Royale or sip cocktails on a sunset cruise along the St-Lawrence River.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Couples who want to visit a unique and thriving city won’t want to miss Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. If you’re after plenty of sunshine and high temperatures, you’ll definitely have them, but you’ll also have an incredible blend of contemporary skyscrapers and traditional Arabic culture.

From the top of the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest building in the world, you can see everything from the famous Dubai Marina to the artificial Palm Islands just off the coast.

In Dubai, you can soak up the sun on the beach, dine at some of the best restaurants on the planet and round it out with shopping in some of the world’s most luxurious and sprawling indoor malls.

Atacama, Chile

This is not the spot for couples who want a chain resort experience, but it is perfect for newlyweds who want to start out their married lives together by doing something new and exciting.

In the desert climate of Atacama, Chile, you can spend your days trekking through the Andes Mountains, riding horses along the Salado River or enjoying massages in colonial buildings turned into spas. Stunning scenery and lots of outdoor adventure await in Atacama.

La Rioja, Spain

Wine destinations are a natural pick for honeymoons, but consider skipping the overdone vineyards of Tuscany and Napa Valley and instead escaping to the equally fantastic La Rioja in Spain.

This wine region boasts plenty of wine museums, but the highlight of any visit will be touring the vineyards, sipping locally made vintages and enjoying the gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside.

Since La Rioja is not as well known as other wine-producing regions in Europe or California, it can be cheaper and less crowded than the alternatives.

Hong Kong, China

City lovers who want to experience the thrill of a major metropolis while on their honeymoon can do no better than Hong Kong.

Whether you want to fill your days with world-class museums, colonial British architecture, traditional Chinese markets or five-star dining, Hong Kong has it all. Plus, you can get outdoors on a hike to the Peak or a ferry ride through Victoria Harbor.

If you want to plan a honeymoon that is far from ordinary, check out these extraordinary destinations bursting with things to do, see and explore.
