You’ve got the ceremony and reception planned, now comes the really fun part.  Need ideas for the perfect honeymoon spots?  Here are our top 10 picks for cities that are sure to inspire romance!

10. Sitges, Spain

The pride of the Mediterranean, Sitges is a beach resort haven located just a 40-minute drive from the coast from Barcelona.  Sitges is a former fishing village offering more than 300 days of sunshine a year and unlike some summer hotspots that close down in autumn, Sitges is jumping 12 months a year.

PR has unique charm, beauty and excitement.  It’s an amazing island and perfect for a romantic honeymoon getaway.  You’ll find many warm and friendly people and as a stand-alone getaway, you definitely won’t be disappointed.  You can also take a cruise and explore the other exotic surrounding locales.

You’ll fall in love with this tiny, charming town nestled in the rolling hills and sweeping landscape of the Valley of the Moon.  When you want a break from wine-tasting, take part in one of the popular festivals, including the Sonoma International Film Festival in April and The Sonoma Jazz Festival in May.

This sleepy gay resort town encompasses the beauty and appeal of New England.  Less than two hours from Boston, Ogunquit offers sprawling shoreline, lovely galleries, shops and friendly locals.  Summer is the most popular season but tourists continue to flock here in the fall.

This historic and quaint city is an ideal honeymoon destination.  There’s a plethora of attractions if you’re into sightseeing but there are also world-class restaurants, shopping and nightlife options as well.

For winter sport enthusiasts, the Green Mountain State is most appealing when those mountains turn white.  Whether you ski or snowboard, Stowe will delight and amaze you.  Hit the slopes during the day and soak in a hot tub with your hubby or wife at night.  

2. Palm Springs, California

Some couples like it hot!  For those who do, Palm Springs is the honeymoon destination for you.  The key is finding the perfect resort or hotel.  Lounge by the pool, then take a stroll down Palm Canyon Drive.  A longtime haven for Hollywood’s elite, you’ll find great restaurants, shops and performances almost every night.

This I find very hard to believe. I have lived on the Gold Coast for most of my life (65) and find it the most homophobic city council and state in Australia. The coast has only 1 gay bar (1 just closed). The streets of Surfers Paradise cannot be regarded as safe at nights to anyone.Try the Northern Rivers/Byron region of NSW much more gay friendly and legal nude beaches.
