When it comes to choosing the perfect post-nuptial getaway, why not select a destination as unique as the couple? 

To help narrow down the plethora of choices around the world, BRIDES Magazine has launched its first ever Honeymoon Awards.

Editors and writers from the magazine have personally visited and reviewed thousands of the hottest hotels – for both the magazine itself and their annual Honeymoon Guide – and now they are revealing their top choices.

Want to head somewhere off the beaten path? Get away from it all on Frégate Island Private in the Seychelles or journey to Awasi, Patagonia for the adventure honeymoon of a lifetime.

Instead of travelling further afield, BRIDES recommends an Italian retreat to Palazzo Avino or a mini-moon to the rustic Wild Rabbit in the Cotswolds.

No matter where you choose, one thing’s for sure: these stunning resorts offer some serious wanderlust inspiration. Not that we’re complaining.
