Choosing the best suite or villa for your honeymoon is at the top of everybody's list. The size, shape and above all the view are very important. If you plan on ordering a lot of room service, a spacious layout with a separate sitting area and a terrace is a good idea. Consider also the bathroom design, room service hours and outdoor terrace space. Here are world's best suites in top destinations around the world, including the Caribbean Islands, the U.S., Mexico, Australia, East Coast, West Coast, Fiji and many more.
Choose from romantic accommodations with spectacular ocean views, villas on a sandy beach and garden cottages surrounded by nature. Some of these getaways cater mostly to couples. Finding the perfect honeymoon spot is not just about the view, but also about the activities offered at the hotel and the surrounding area, such as dining options, nightlife and boutique shopping. Ample outdoor deck space is very important, as well as its setup with a dining table and a plunge pool or a Jacuzzi since most vacationers like to spend as much time outside as possible. Other unique features to look for are bath tubs with picture windows and ocean views.
