Few journeys come with greater expectations than a honeymoon. It marks the official start of married life and carries with it signs of what your future will hold. There's no better way to start a lifetime together than with an unforgettable journey where you and your new spouse create tons of new memories. This once-in-a-lifetime vacation should fulfill your most fabulous travel dreams.

We partnered with Indagare, a luxury travel company, to dream up the most splurge-worthy honeymoon destinations, from opulent palaces in India to overwater bungalows in French Polynesia and stylish safari camps in South Africa. Here you'll find a full list, broken down by region, of the places that are worth visiting.

Since we know traveling can be expensive and because no one wants to overspend (or accidentally choose a lackluster location), this list ensures that wherever you choose will be completely worth the price tag. Whether you're looking for an adventure-filled destination or a beachy, blissful escape, there's a country or region in this roundup that's sure to deliver. We all want to be informed before we take a dip into our wallets—we're here to guarantee that you're making an educated decision.

South Africa's incredible landscape offers a dramatic scope of experiences that will both enchant and pamper honeymooners. Commence the journey in the dynamic and design-focused capital of Cape Town, then temper the action of the city in the bucolic Winelands. Afterwards, head into the bush on a safari, where honeymooners can spend days on game drives spotting wildlife up close and evenings at sumptuous lodges where suites boast canopied beds, infinity-edge plunge pools and marble bathrooms. Cap off the fabulous adventure at the Seychelles' North Island, a private island jewel in the Indian Ocean.

Honeymoon Diary: Bora Bora and Moorea

After the festivity of a wedding, there's no greater luxury than escaping to the privacy of a beachfront villa or bungalow with five-star service.

Another equally fabulous option can be found in Bora Bora, where you'll stay in a luxurious over-water bungalow.
