1/8
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
For the animal-loving couple! If you've been struggling to convince your newlywed that you are in need of a new pet, why not enjoy the wildlife in the Galapagos instead?

Aside from being absolutely Gorgeous (with a capital G), Galapagos boasts of an impressive population and types of birds, animals and plants. Couples who enjoy diving and snorkeling will also appreciate sharing these one of a kind experiences together.
2/8
Mongolia
No doubt, this is for the adventurous couple. If sand dunes in the Gobi desert and camelback rides into the sunset are your thing, bingo! Mongolia might be a winner. It is a perfect location for those looking to get away from everything and be off-the-radar. Plus, the railway that runs through Siberia and into Mongolia supposedly also offers beautiful views.
3/8
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Dubrovnik, Croatia is an increasingly popular spot vacation spot - and for good reason too. Croatia’s affordable lifestyle and natural beauty make it an obvious paradise stop post-matrimony. Its medieval architecture (which has inspired the likes of Game of Thrones) and crystal-clear beaches also make it a fairy tale getaway.
4/8
Papua New Guinea
Looking to be in a remote location with gorgeous scenery and no distractions (except from your hubby, of course? If yes, Papua New Guinea is the one. Welcome to an extremely untapped destination and enchanting experience. Full of culture, languages and beauty due to the many indigenous people there, the island is perfect for the couple looking to relax in beautiful scenery and learn something new.
5/8
Madagascar
High-end bungalows, national parks and romantic river tours around the island are just some of what to expect when choosing this obscure and magnificent location. Home to the world’s third largest coral reef system, and incredibly cute lemurs, the wildlife adventure couple has a box ticked here. For those looking to unwind on the beach in paradise accommodation, there are treetop bungalows overlooking Nosy Be beach. The island is an absolute paradise without the unnecessary frills!
6/8
Belize
A tropical paradise – without all the typical tourists. Belize is truly a tropical underrated gem! With so many Caribbean islands nearby, it is often overshadowed. But that’s what makes it perfect for the couple looking for something different! With its Mayan ruins, abundance of waterfalls, as well as water activities and lush jungle to trek through, it is the prime choice for adrenaline junkies or lazy beach bums.
7/8
Iceland
For the couples happy to escape the heat, Iceland is a breath-taking experience from the moment you arrive. Of course there is the well-known Blue Lagoon to enjoy, but several other hot springs around prove to be far less crowded. There are countless waterfalls, black sand beaches, many national parks that are now UNESCO World Heritage sites, and of course, the Northern Lights. September to April welcomes this legendary and truly incredible Aurora Borealis experience. Nature’s most impressive light display no doubt leave you newlyweds rather cold but very impressed. Talk about starting your new phase as a couple on a high!
8/8
Siena, Italy
Italia is truly home to the language of love. And that love permeates the air no matter where you go in this charming land! Although there is the well-known cities of Florence and Venice, Siena is a Tuscan treasure unnoticed. If you’re the kind of couple that enjoy strolling through quaint streets of medieval architecture that surprise you with something interesting at every corner, this is your stop. Throw in all the Renaissance art and wines at your disposal and you’ll be trying to honeymoon here more than once.

Tired of the same old stops for lovers? These will give your and your love memories to last your whole lifetime together.

Your honeymoon is the ultimate opportunity to have full creative control over your paradise vacation. Free of the nags and compromises of other people, (apart from beau, but he’s put you in charge no doubt), and a chance to be even more loved-up than you already are. It’s a once in a lifetime trip (so the vows say) fully dedicated to letting you relax however you see fit.

Of course, there are the obvious getaway choices: like Maldives, Mexico, Thailand and Bali. Don’t get us wrong; these spots are beautiful, but with increasing numbers of tourists and other honeymooning couples, the paradise-in-the-middle-of-nowhere and away-from-everyone vibe is what we’re after!

After all, your honeymoon should be something new and exciting to you – as well as all your friends and followers on the ‘gram. Totally off the usual couples radar, we’ve compiled 8 underrated honeymoon destinations you should consider for your post-wedding getaway this 2018!
