So i need honeymoon ideas please, we want to go abroad and somewhere special - however, i could quite happily lay on a beach for 2/3 weeks but my fiancee gets bored easily, so we need somewhere with lots to do! Does anywhere have any recommendations?

We are doing half and half as my fiance is the same, but are going to hotel that provides water sports so that when we are on the beach holiday he has things to do.
We are flying to San Fran and driving down to LA- stopping on route in different places for 10 days and then heading to Barbados for a week in the sunshine

We’ve got 3 destinations we’ll be going to, 1 will be a beach holiday (as we have only ever explored) and the other 2 will be purely to travel around. We have narrowed it down to a few but New Zealand is a must for me and Japan is a must for my H2B (and me so it’s a win win for me) and the other one will be either : Fiji, Bali, Cook Island anywhere like that.
What about travelling around Italy? Naples was gorgeous (nowhere to sit around and do nothing). Good luck :)

We are going to Mauritius - its a relaxing beach holiday but there is plenty to do. It has lots of water sports, boat trips. We are looking to swim with dolphins and walk with lions.

I'm the same situation as you, i could easily sit around by a pool but he gets so bored easily and likes to do stuff, so would have to do half and half

Cruise

My fiancé has told me Belize. Cheaper than Mexico but just as nice with lots of gorgeous resorts and also ruins and historical trails. If not, maybe LA? Vegas is about 3 hrs drive and Grand Canyon about another 5ish (going by memory so might be a bit more or less). San Francisco also not far and plenty of beaches.

I'm the same we compromised and did a cruise plus a stopover either side of it. Was fantastic. We did US and Caribbean, days at sea meant I got my lazy days and days in port we got to explore 7 different places. Highly recommend. Look around for deals with drinks included too :) x

What about a Multi Centre holiday in Cuba - 3 days in Havanna and then 7 days relaxing at the beach. Lots of water sports and boat trips to keep him occupied.

We are going to Cyprus as there's lots to see and do but also have the option of lounging on the beach...it's an adults only Tui Sensimar hotel so really nice and a shorter flight than going further afield...didn't want a long haul flight

We wanted to go somewhere that we could do a mixture of nothing but relax but also do a lot of sightseeing/adventures. So we are going to San Francisco, Yosemite and Lake Tahoe to do our adventure stuff for the first 2 weeks then we are off to Hawaii for the last week for our relaxing part. We are so excited! X

Mexico riviera maya! My fiancé proposed there. The hotel we stayed in is called sensimar seaside suites, honestly they treat you like a billionaire! It was with TUI. Has 11 restaurants, 5 pools, on the beach, free kayaking and snorkelling, games throughout the day, coconut painting, towel folding, salsa dancing, all free! Plus you can book some amazing excursions xx

We did Singapore, Lombok and then Seminyak and Ubud in Bali. We had a great mix of city sightseeing, completely relaxing by beaches/pools and some adventure including snorkelling, walking up a volcano for sunrise, white water rafting etc. Would definitely recommend!

We went on holiday to Turkey near Alanya in the summer and hired a car, so had a few beach/pool days and a few days out, we drove to a mountain and went to the top in a cable car one day which was fab.
