To help you plan a honeymoon worthy of the royals, we put together recommendations based on post-nuptial trips or vacations members of the House of Windsor have previously taken.

Where would you choose to honeymoon if you were the most famous newlyweds in the world? This is the epic question as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s May 19th nuptials draw near. The destination they choose will likely come down to a number of factors, the first and most important of which is privacy. After such a public engagement and wedding, the couple will surely want some time away from the paparazzi and the crowds. This was exactly the case for Prince William and Duchess Kate, who honeymooned in the remote Seychelles islands after their 2011 wedding.

The second consideration the newlyweds will have to make is timing: If the couple can’t jet off immediately following their wedding at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle in England, they may spend a night or two in the U.K. before boarding a flight bound somewhere far-flung, as many British royals have done in the past. If history really were to repeat itself, the couple will do more than just wait a couple of days before departing for their adventure. Harry and Meghan may actually choose a destination that they or another member of the royal family has previously visited. And you can, too. There are a number of remote, romantic spots where royal couples have vacationed or honeymooned that you and your spouse should consider for your own honeymoon.
While not all of their itineraries and accommodations are public knowledge, the destinations are, and we provided our own recommendations for each spot. With this guide, your favorite royal couple’s honeymoon or vacation plans can inspire your own!

North Island, Seychelles
[post_ads_2]
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge traveled to the Seychelles during their courtship and reportedly fell in love with the remote Indian Ocean archipelago. Following their May 2011 wedding, they chose to return to the bright white sands and azure waters, checking into the Seychelles’ most exclusive resort, North Island, for more than a week. With just 11 villas—each with an expansive deck, plunge pool, and private section of beach—few places in the world will make your escapist fantasies come true with such glamour and beauty.
The Brando, French Polynesia
[post_ads_2]Though not technically a royal, Pippa Middleton might as well be, considering all the hype surrounding her wedding to financier James Matthews last May. Make like the sister to the Duchess of Cambridge and choose Australia and the South Pacific for your post-nuptial getaway. The newlyweds reportedly checked into French Polynesia’s premier private-island retreat, the Brando, which has just 35 beachfront villas, a luxurious, lagoon-fronting spa, and all-inclusive dining. (Because rosé all day is a honeymoon prerequisite, right?)
Berkshire, United Kingdom

The Philippines
[post_ads_2]Following the official announcement of their engagement, Will and Kate jetted visited the tiny Filipino island of Bohol, where they checked into Eskaya Beach Resort. There’s another remote spot for you to consider, too. The archipelago of Palawan, made up of 1,780 islands on the western part of the Philippines offers four different resorts by super luxurious, eco-friendly El Nido Resorts. Some have overwater villa accommodations, but all front a pristine beach and are set against the backdrop of towering cliffs and tropical forests.
Greece

The Caribbean
Malta
[post_ads]The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have made numerous visits to the tiny Mediterranean island nation of Malta. Each time, they choose to post up at the Phoenicia, a luxury hotel in the island’s capital city of Valletta, that recently unveiled an 18-month renovation. This year, Valletta is the European Capital of Culture—hosting hundreds of art shows, film festivals, music concerts, and more—giving you and your new spouse even more reason to visit. (Beyond the gorgeous beaches, centuries-old sites, and historic architecture.)
