Unusual destinations

Rather than picking conventional destinations, some couples are opting for less obvious alternatives. For example, Montenegro and Malta rather than Sardinia or the Amalfi coast. Liz Simpson, of i-escape, says, "Couples are also seeking new parts of old-favourite countries. In Sri Lanka for example, it was once all about Bentota and Galle. Now there are exciting honeymoon openings in the Cultural Triangle. The focus in India was on Rajasthan, but now areas like Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh are all the rage. Vietnam hotspots have shifted from Nha Trang and Danang to off-the-beaten-track places like Phu Quoc or Nam Hai."
