According to the Bridal Association of America, more couples get married during the summer than during any other time of year. Honeymoons give newlyweds a chance for rest and relaxation after months of wedding planning. Ideal honeymoon destinations feature extensive areas with romantic views, a range of hotel accommodations, quiet meandering streets, gourmet dining and shopping. - Caribbean islands are a perennial favorite destination for honeymoons. Jamaica offers a range of all-inclusive resorts featuring recreational sports, spa treatments, sightseeing and gourmet dining. During the summer, Jamaican resorts generally offer visitors more discounts and perks because summer vacation for many Americans falls outside of Jamaica's peak tourist season, December through April. Newlyweds can book vacations at adults-only resorts like Couples Negril and Sandals. Both resorts offer all-inclusive packages that include all meals, tennis, golf, scuba diving and spa visits. Both resorts feature private beaches free of the hustle and bustle of family-oriented resorts. Couples Negril offers honeymoon vacationers complimentary champagne and massages while Sandals honeymoon packages include unlimited dining at the resort's six restaurants.
- Paris, France, often associated with romance, offers honeymoon vacationers a chance to experience arts and culture that dates back approximately 700 years. The city of Paris, celebrated for its summer beauty, boasts shaded tree-lined streets that add to the romantic ambiance. Newlyweds can arrange sightseeing tours through travel agents or at hotels upon arrival. Favorite activities include visits to the Eiffel Tower, Disneyland Paris, The Louvre and walking on winding streets featuring shops, markets and gourmet restaurants on the city's right and left banks. Historic hotels such as the Hotel de Crillon and the Hotel Champs Elysees Plaza provide a chance to unwind in beautifully decorated rooms.
- San Francisco, known for fine arts, gourmet dining and romantic vistas, is a favorite destination for newlyweds interested in spending their honeymoons in the United States. Suggested honeymoon activities include art gallery visits, neighborhood and winery tours and shopping at San Francisco's own Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory. Like Paris, newlyweds can book stays at historic hotels representing outstanding architecture for the periods in which they were built. The Four Seasons offers honeymoon packages that include spa treatments, fine dining and visits to nearby wineries. The Palace Hotel, located within walking distance of China Town and San Francisco's financial center, offers luxury amenities such as in-room dining, allowing newlyweds to enjoy the hotel's splendor in a private setting.
