You know that here at 5 Star Wedding Directory we love a romantic, luxury honeymoon escape. Bora Bora, Hawaii, Dubai… but if you’re not the beach type, we’ve found five of our favourite alternative luxury honeymoons, that is more than a little bit special.

Hot springs and northern lights in Iceland

Dracula’s castle in Transylvania

Now this one might sound a little creepy, but Transylvania is beautiful, with wild wetlands, quaint cobbled streets and ancient forests that you would expect to find sweet little pixies hiding in! If you’re into a little bit of the Gothic, or just a fan of Twilight, taking a trip to Romania would be an excellent choice.
