Honeymoons under the Sun

By Ava Mason

Getting married and want a honeymoon that's warm and hot? Our world guide is just the ticket for newlyweds who want to bask in the sun - whatever time of year!

January - For an Oz dream head to Australia which is hot, hot, hot - and that's just the weather! Sydney is awash with colour - a vibrant city with breathtaking beaches. The Caribbean is also a sure bet with good prices to be found and quieter after the Christmas and New Year rush.

February - For honeymoon explorers try a Nile cruise with warm sunny days to explore the fascinating sights of Egypt. Thailand is also a popular choice at this time of year with warm temperatures and guaranteed sunshine.

March - For a truly unique honeymoon head to Nepal which enjoys a pleasant climate this month, with Spring flowers in full bloom. Seville is a mass of orange blossom, and early Spring sunshine makes this an ideal city break destination.

April - The Caribbean still has reliable weather in April, and prices really tumble after the 15th - the official 'end' of the high season.

May - Florida and California are reliable and May is regarded as their 'low' season, so prices will drop too. In Europe, destinations like the Algarve, the South of France, and the Greek Islands are sunny enough for t-shirts and shorts.

June - Bali has a great climate in June - a truly magical destination that delivers on every honeymoon level! Australia's Great Barrier Reef Islands are now dry and warm. Northern Europe and the Scandinavian cities make a unique honeymoon destination with long summer days and lively midsummer festivals.

July - Phew! It's hot, hot, hot in the Mediterranean resorts - perfect for newlywed sun lovers. Canada is warm and dry and its stunning scenery can't be beaten.

August - Not the ideal time for travel in Europe as it is peak season, and prices are at their highest but if you want sun its here in abundance. The most romantic city in the world - Paris, is blissfully quiet during the annual holidays. Elsewhere, the Seychelles are at their driest.

September - Long haul best bets include Mauritius. The Mediterranean resorts and cities have also cooled down and are quieter for sightseeing.

October - Enjoy the fall in North America's New England - plenty of sunshine brings out the glorious autumnal landscape. The Far East cities of Hong Kong and Singapore are at their best too with reduced humidity.

November - Mexico has the odd rain but still basks in warm temperatures. Thailand is cooler and quieter with less humid heat.

December - The Maldives is hot and dry at this time of year. North African destinations such as Tunisia and Morocco also still enjoy the winter sun. As does Dubai. - 31363
