17 Amazing And Unexpected Honeymoon Destinations

    Paris and Cancun are so 2004. So try these alternatives.

    1. Dracula's Castle in Romania

    Officially known as Bran Castle, the site seems to be the place where Bram Stoker based his famous mythical creature, Dracula. If you both hate Twilight but indulge in your vampire obsessions, pack your bags and head to Transylvania. Look up more information here.

    2. A'JIA Hotel in Turkey

    The A'JIA Hotel, located near Istanbul, is a boutique hotel that shares a beautiful view of the Bosphorus strait. While there are cool attractions nearby, like the Rumeli Fortress, you should actually go for this bathtub-next-to-the-bed situation. SO romantic. Booking details here.

    3. Borobudur, Prambanan, and Ratu Boko in Indonesia

    4. Iceland Hot Springs Tour

    While there are specific tours you can follow, try renting a car and going on your own accord — that way you can end up anywhere you want without the hustle and bustle of tourists. Consider it your first married-life challenge. Check out Iceland's top five hot spring spots.

    5. Arches National Park in Utah

    So you're probably thinking, why not got to The Grand Canyon or Yellowstone? BUT this is another location where a romantic sunset will take your breath away. AND for all of you film buffs out there, Arches is right near Moab, Utah — the setting for many films, like Stagecoach, Thelma & Louise, and 127 Hours. Plan your trip here.

    6. Portmeirion in Wales

    If you're a follower of the cult '60s show The Prisoner, then you probably know this as "The Village." If not, this place is still an awesome wonderland, where stars like Paul McCartney and legends like Frank Lloyd Wright visited. Plus, this rad musical festival was here — so I guess you're going to Wales! Check it out here.

    7. Happy Magic Water Cube in China

    In 2011, the 2008 Summer Olympics aquatic space was converted into the indoor water park of you and your partner's childhood dreams. The Beijing park is one of the most visited places in China — right behind the Great Wall. Check it out here.

    8. Hammondsport, N.Y.

    Crowned as one of the best American small towns in 2012, Hammondsport is all about wine and amazing scenery. You can get nice and cozy at a bed and breakfast, and then get delightfully drunk with the person you'll be waking up next to for the rest of your life. Or so you hope.
