    We went Phuket and stayed at Karon beach for two weeks. We chose a no kids resort with a day spa. Had an awesome time! The only downside was flying Jetstar - horrific and full of feral drunk men

    we went to Penang, Langkawi and Kuala Lumpur in malaysia.

    Penang was AWSOME!!
    we loved every minute of it. we stayed at one of the shangri la properties, did lots of sight seeing and relaxing, it was pretty cheap as well!

    Langkawi was OK....
    not as much to do as penang, but still fun.

    KL stopped coz we had to with our flights, the shopping centers were AMAZING!!!

    i second BALI.....
    we have been quite a few times and we love the place!
    like the PP if we could live there we would! so cheap and friendly!

    we are going on a OS trip next year and MIL is coming with us but wont go to Bali which im shattered about! so looks like Fiji or Vanuatu it will be for us

    if u want to stay in Oz, Hamilton Island is great!
    not cheap when ur there, eg sausgae roll at the bakery was around $4 for a small-ish one, but driving the golf buggies was great fun and the trip to the barrier reef was amazing as was whitehaven beach

    We went to the Four Seasons in the Maldives and it was heaven, service was spectacular. I wouldnt stay there or in one place too long - the islands are small and while constant sun, sand and snorkelling is awesome, you want fun too

    I'd look for an inclusive package if you can so you don't have money worries while you are there - when we spoke to a couple they said they had all their meals included and we were spewing that our travel agent didnt mention any meal packages to us, would have been heaps easier. The food was pricey, so was a little surprised at the expense especially when you think about it every time you want a drink or snack! But highly recommend it. Went with Singapore Airlines and felt awesome the whole time.

    I also just got back from Fiji too which would be brilliant for a honeymoon. Strongly recommend the Yasawa Islands, and the Nanuya Resort which is mostly couples and not as big and commercial - but spectacular. I have some pics on my FB page if you want to see, I stayed at two places though, both awesome.

    meow - I stayed at Iririki in 2008!!! Loved it there too. Too many nice places, hard to choose - but all are awesome

    We went to airlie beach in QLD and LOVED it but any beach would be good.

    For us it wasn't so much about getting out and seeing XYZ but instead just being able to have time with the 2 of us. We did a sunset champagne yacht thingy and a scenic helicopter thingy and that's it for the week we were there. The rest of the time we spent laying in the sun together, reading, eating whatever whenever we wanted. Heaps of other couples were going here there and everywhere every day of their honeymoon but that just wasn't for us.

    It was a bit late (2 years after the wedding ) but we had 10 days in Port Douglas. Snorkelling, drinking, eating, swimming, golfing and sight seeing! So much fun!
