They make perfect spots for both marriage celebrations and the honeymoon. Why promise the moon when you can take your significant other to paradise?
Ravello, Italy
Tie the knot on a terrace above the Amalfi Coast, overlooking the Mediterranean. Set your exotic wedding photos in the gorgeous gardens of the villa Cimbrone. The scenic beauty, authentic Italian cuisine, and century-old buildings will inspire your eternal love.
Southern Nilandhe Atoll, Maldives
Show your significant other they are the one thing you’d need if you were ever stranded on an island. Well, this island is in a picturesque lagoon with turquoise blue water and an amazing wildlife. Local resorts promise marital bliss underwater, on a castaway island or in a beach chapel by sunset. The choice is all yours.
Lake Tepako, New Zealand
Gaze into the stars in your better half’s eyes while you say “I do”. Lake Tepako is the perfect backdrop for that given that it is part of UNESCO dark sky reserve, and renowned for stargazing. Let true love guide your marriage in the pretty Church of the Good Shepherd. From the altar, you will have stunning views on the Southern Alps beyond the dark blue lake. This place proves that you don’t need a beach to have exotic weddings.
Zanzibar, Tanzania
Make the cradle of humanity the birthplace of your union. The “Spice Island” tops the best places to have an exotic wedding in Africa. It is also among the top romantic beach locations in the world. With its fine sandy beaches and the turquoise blue waters, Zanzibar is a fantastic love nest hidden in the Indian Ocean.
