WORLD'S BEST HONEYMOON DESTINATIONS - PICTURE PERFECT DETAILS

Four Seasons Bora Bora

Four Seasons Bora Bora -Guests at the Four Seasons Bora Bora (in French Polynesia) can laze uninterrupted in their over-water villas but the resort also offers excellent snorkelling and paddling in its Ruahatu Lagoon Sanctuary, home to more than 100 species of fish.

The romance of Venice is incomparable and one of the best bases to experience it from is the Cipriani hotel. On an island in the Venetian lagoon away from the main tourist stretch, it has welcomed celebrities and aristocracy for decades.

Elephant Hills Rainforest Camp by Cheow Larn Lake in Khao Sok National Park is Thailand's first floating hotel. For a back-to-nature experience, couples can kayak, spot gibbons, trek and swim.

Rooms at the tented camp are comfortably finished with en-suite facilities and hot water available, but guests who want a variety and extra facilities can finish their stay at sister property Elephant Hills Tented Camp.

One of the most rewarding ways to spend a day is on a game drive with a local guide. The area is a big five destination and rhinos, leopards, lions and wildogs can all be spotted. A more rugged and adventurous honeymoon experience awaits at Loisaba, located on a remote 60,000-acre private reserve.

At night, the most distinctive accommodation options are provided by Loisaba's Star Beds, which give couples to fall asleep in the open air.

Niyama Resorts, Maldives. Its dining options, include outdoor restaurant Tribal, where dishes are seared over open flames, and Edge, an over-water restaurant accessible only by boat.

NIYAMA challenges the perception that resorts in the Maldives are sleepy. Chief amoung its unexpected attractions is Subsix, the world's first underwater nightclub, where couples can watch rays and sharks as they dance and drink six metres below sea level.

For a room with a view it's hard to beat the Shangri-La Paris's Eiffel Duplex Terrace Suite. Rather than going out for dinner, many couples lucky enough to stay here order room service and make the most of the spectacular panorama.

Exceptionally romantic, the Taj Lake Palace hotel in Udaipur, India, is contained within a 250-year-old building on Lake Pichola. If it looks familiar that may be because it featured in the Bond film Octopussy.
