Timing can make or break an island trip. Here is a simple guide to when three of the most popular honeymoon destinations tend to be at their best. Weather varies year to year, so treat this as a guide and not a promise.
Maldives: November to April
This is the drier season, with calmer seas and clearer water for snorkelling. The rest of the year brings more rain and wind, though prices are often lower and the weather is still frequently beautiful between showers.
Santorini: May to October
Warm, dry and bright, with the famous sunsets at their best. July and August are busiest and hottest. Late May, June and September give you the same views with fewer crowds.
Bali: April to October
The dry season is the most comfortable for beaches and temple visits. The wetter months bring greener rice terraces and quieter streets, which some couples prefer. Choose your villa area to match the season.
