MARRAKECH – MOROCCO

Marrakesh, Morocco,

The desert might not be your first thought when it comes to picking a honeymoon destination, but head to Marrakech in April when this imperial city is at its finest and you’ll soon know you’ve landed in a romantic and beguiling wonderland.

April is the perfect time to visit Marrakech, as the weather hovers between the mid-70s and -80s and springtime ushers in an abundance of colorful blossoms that dazzle surrounding landscapes. The extraordinary architecture, bustling souks, charming streets, and world-class cuisine appeal to those looking for a vivid sensual experience without sacrificing the intimacy you get from the city’s many private, lush, and trendy hotels. Date ideas: indulge in a cooking class, wander the medina by foot, take a day trip to the foothills of the Atlas mountains, or bask poolside in the sun with a fresh glass of Moroccan mint tea.

PARIS – FRANCE

Paris, France

What list of springtime travel destinations would be complete without Paris? Paris in the spring has been painted, sung about, and written about the decades over. In the words of famed writer Henry Miller, When spring comes to Paris, the humblest mortal alive must feel that he dwells in paradise. No words could be truer of the City of Light, as Paris seemingly awakens from winter hibernation, shaking off the slumber and giving way to warm dappled sunlight, pink blossoms, and festive vivacity as the cold melts away. This city truly shouts love at the top of it’s lungs come spring, and would be nothing short of romantic and enchanting for a honeymoon getaway.

BALI – INDONESIA

Bali, Indonesia

This island paradise has something for everyone. For those looking for some post-wedding R&R, stay at one of the island’s countless resorts, which usually offer romantic dining experiences, peaceful spas and private beaches. For those wanting an adventure, explore Bali’s beautiful ancient temples, go on a hike, or take a dip in the vibrant blue waters. Keep in mind that while April is Bali’s dry season, this means peak tourism for the island. Book your hotel early to avoid over-priced rooms!

BORA BORA – FRENCH POLYNESIA

Bora Bora

There’s a reason this island paradise is nicknamed the ˜Jewel of the South Seas’ — vibrant turquoise waters, citrusy sunsets, white sands and the sweet sounds of jungle birds are what set the scene for romance on this Tahitian gem. As April is right before high season, the month is a perfect time to avoid tourists and crowds and instead enjoy quiet pristine beaches, perfect weather, and lower rates on hotels and resorts. Take your lover by the hand and breathe in the warm tropical air before you dive under gentle waves that reveal coral reefs teeming with sea life and shipwrecks to explore. End the night with sunset seaside drinks and a relaxing session at the spa.
