Beach Perfection of Honeymoon Locations Worldwide

So, I must start this article off with one of my favorite places in the world!  My # 1 spot for a honeymoon in Bora Bora, French Polynesia.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia.

This place is stunning.  It is one of the few places in the world where you can place yourself in the middle and do a full 360, and find yourself inside a postcard.  Known for its turquoise lagoons and overwater bungalows, Bora Bora offers an idyllic setting for honeymoon locations. 

I stayed in the Four Seasons in Bora Bora ($2,918/night), and the service I received was off the charts.  After arriving in Tahiti, we were transported by a beautiful teak boat and transported to our overwater bungalow in style.  The water was so clear, and the service was perfect.  We did a shark feeding tour, a sting ray tour, rented jet skis, and walked out of our bedroom directly to the water.  I can’t say enough amazing things about this place!  I would 100% go back in a heartbeat.
