After months of hectic wedding planning, it is easy to see why the serenity and simplicity of an island beach honeymoon is alluring to newlyweds.

The exclusiveness alone makes a peaceful paradise for relaxation and indulgence. Accompanying honeymooning guests are calm sea waters, light ocean breeze and soft sandy beaches.

It’s reminiscent of a paradise on earth, and surprisingly, the Maldives is not the only place to find these gems.
