While it’s of course a matter of opinion, I think the best honeymoon destination on the planet would be Maui.  I’m certainly not the only one that feels Maui is the best honeymoon destination, as that is a popular reason for people to go there and a big part of its tourism advertising is focused on newly weds or young couples. 

The best honeymoon destination is someplace you can relax and enjoy each others company without having to race around and sight see all day.  Going to some historically rich foreign country may seem romantic, but it’ll be hard to justify laying around together in your hotel room when there are so many world renown sights to see within just a few miles that you may never have a chance to see again.  That’s why I think Maui is the best honeymoon destination.

Not that there isn’t anything to see in Maui; quite the contrary, Maui is filled with its own fascinating sights and culture as well.  However, the sights to see in Maui are the sights of the island itself.  Just hanging out on a beach together would be the equivalent to sight seeing, as you’re on one of the finest and most gorgeous beaches on the planet.

When you need to take a break from lying around, there are some really amazing little Hawaiian towns to explore, and some mind blowing natural scenes to drive to.  None of this will feel like the kind of fast paced and rushed sight seeing you’d do in another country.  Even in Hawaii is in fact another country for you, it doesn’t really matter if you go to Maui as it is in no way a historical representation of the United States.  Maui still looks and feels a lot like it probably did even before it was part of the U.S, and it is this romantic appeal mixed with its relaxed nature that makes it the best honeymoon destination. 

The more popular island of Oahu will definitely be more traditionally touristy, with plenty of sights to race around to and a big city to visit.  Oahu can be gotten to in just a couple hours from Maui, so you can easily do both if you can’t decide.  Personally, when (if) I have my honeymoon, I think I’d rather spend the whole time on Maui.  Just the right mix of things to do, amazing and exotic sights to see, and excuses to lay around and relax, Maui is definitely the best honeymoon destination on the planet in my book.
