Top 10 USA Honeymoon Destinations

According to About.com

  1. Hawaii Honeymoon
    There are so many reasons why Hawaii turns up as No. 1 on the list of top destinations for honeymooners year after year. For one thing, once you get outside crowded, touristy Waikiki, it's absolutely beautiful. Serene. The air is filled with the fragrance of exotic tropical flowers, such as plumeria. Thick banyan trees gracefully drop their branches to the ground, and grow upwards from there. The water is a pristine turquoise blue. The beaches are immaculate, and uncrowded. And you can try out just about any water sport you ever imagined. After all, surfing began here. The food is great, too. You can get just nearly anything you like, but preferred local delicacies come from the sea. Fresh mahi-mahi and opakapaka plucked from the Pacific Ocean and garnished with Hawaiian macadamia nuts are heavenly.

  2. New York/Niagara Falls Honeymoon
    Honeymooning couples have made their way to Niagara Falls for nearly 200 years. It's the water, of course, that's the draw. Crashing, plunging, thundering without cease. (It did freeze once.) Although there are taller Falls, there are none wider. Here you also get three for the price of one: The raging rapids of Rainbow and Bridal Veil Falls (American) tumble over massive rock formations in a nearly perfect straight line; amazing Horseshoe Falls (Canadian) form a natural curve. Whether you view the Falls from the American side or the Canadian side, it's mesmerizing -- for a while. Couples who want to do it all can arrange an American or Canadian destination wedding with a choice of dramatic backdrop.

  3. Florida Honeymoon
    Why is Florida is one of the top U.S. honeymoon destinations? Because it is an incredibly romantic state. There's something here for everyone. Sun-kissed shores and moonlit nights; glorious countryside and hot city lights - all can be unbridled conduits for love. For romance, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and in Florida, there is a truly a bounty to behold. Just remember, families love Florida, which means that if you don't separate yourselves from those theme parks, you're likely to find yourself surrounded by screaming kids. Try to reserve yourselves a hotel on the beach that offers most of the amenities you are looking for to keep your travel time at a low.

  4. California Honeymoon
    California boasts a glittering array of top-flight hotels where you can indulge your honeymoon dreams without reaching for a passport. Los Angeles oozes chic charisma with a blend of Gap and Gucci and this sprawling city is as distinct as its residents. From world-class art museums to stunning architecture, downtown LA is a sight to be seen. Jump over to Hollywood and see their billion-dollar facelift that renovated the seedier areas. Hey, you never know, behind those sunglasses at the next table may be a celebrity in disguise!

  5. Las Vegas Honeymoon
    Visitors who haven't been to Las Vegas in a few years are in for a surprise: It's gone upscale. High-rolling gamblers who breeze into town with a pocket full of cash and the determination to have a great time aren't the only big spenders in town anymore. To tie the knot or just unwind, couples are having a great time discovering the city's posh hotels, restaurants, shops, and wedding sites that make it such a mecca for lovers.

  6. Pennsylvania/Poconos Honeymoon
    You say you're planning a honeymoon... and sooner or later, someone brings up The Poconos, the Pennsylvania hills that have for generations welcomed newlyweds and other lovers. With their heart-shaped bathtubs, big round beds, and relentless promotion of priapic pleasures, Poconos honeymoon hotels go all out to create a setting for sex.

  7. Colorado Honeymoon
    Perhaps it's the crisp mountain air or the cool winter nights, but whatever it is, romance just seems to happen naturally in Colorado. Whether you're camping off a secluded backcountry trail, sailing through the sky in a hot air balloon or looking out from the deck of a luxurious mountain cabin, picturesque sunsets and dramatic landscapes have a way making you sit a little closer together. Then there's the decadent dining at elegant restaurants, the opulent spa treatments at world-class resorts and the gracious hospitality at historic bed and breakfasts, working in concert to help you fall in love all over again. So open that bottle of wine and cuddle up next to the roaring fire. Colorado is made for romance.

  8. Georgia Honeymoon
    Visit Georgia, where the possibilities are endless and the travel options - unlimited. From the winding trails that fill the mountains to the abundant ecosystems of rich coastal waters, explore Georgia and experience a different kind of getaway. Take a historical journey to the past within our Civil War battlefields. Putt for par on one of our world-class golf courses. Fill your arms with great buys from any of our charming boutiques. No matter what you're looking for in your next vacation destination, you're sure to find it here in Georgia.

  9. Virginia Honeymoon
    When planning a trip to Virginia, you'll find the state is home to numerous attractions. Virginia boasts world-class historical attractions, cultural attractions, and natural attractions. On your visit to Virginia, you're likely to find the attractions like Colonial Williamsburg and Wine Country to be especially memorable. Virginia's premier resorts include golf courses, tennis courts and ski slopes as well as shops, dining rooms and other amenities.

  10. Wine Country (California) Honeymoon
    Northern California Wine Country in Napa Valley and Sonoma County have long drawn honeymooners, gourmets, wine-lovers, and and other romantics who want to savor the good life. There's so much to see and do in California Wine Country, and so many exquisite places to stay in this part of California. This is one destination in northern California worth investigating -- and taking your time to do so.
