Mexico’s Riviera Maya has diverse wildlife, begging-to-be-explored Mayan ruins and a beach-blessed shoreline. The Atlas Mountains are a must-see – enjoy the laid-back Berber-village lifestyle at sky-high stay Kasbah du Toubkal. Marrakech’s thrillingly madcap medina is a great place to start, and artistic riad El Fenn puts you close to the action with rainbow-hued, ogee-arched interiors and a restful rooftop pool it’s an excellent time-out spot when you’re done spending your dirhams in the souk. Morocco’s an unsung honeymoon destination, but twosomes will love discovering its vibrant culture. The island-set Grace hotels are gorgeous – Grace Santorini’s very romantic, and Grace Mykonos offers private Jacuzzis with Aegean views and lively surroundings it’s hard to choose just one of the Greek Islands, so I recommend a trip which combines both! Low-key Anemi, (just a ferry ride away from Santorini or Mykonos) on unspoilt Folegandros, is a personal favourite with design-led rooms and sea views from the infinity pool. My boyfriend and I loved Alila Ubud, where rooms are traditional with a contemporary twist you can spend your days relaxing in their tranquil jungle-flanked pavilions, but cycle paths by rice paddies, temples to explore nearby and white-water rafting on the Ayung River will rouse adventure seekers.

We booked some of our hotels via honeymoon concierge Mr & Mrs Smith and I have to say their service was second to none. That was almost 2 years ago now and it was the best trip of our lives. I was lucky not to really experience it myself as I was busy planning our next adventure - Honeymoon! I'm not sure what I was excited about more, the wedding or the honeymoon! Three weeks visiting New York, San Francisco, Napa Valley, Monetrey, Pismo Beach and finally Los Angeles. I speak to a lot of brides about the 'come down' they experience after they've planned and had the best day of their lives.
