From stunning Bali to historic Mexico here are the 8 destinations that are going to be very popular this year.

We think we are going to need to book some annual leave.

Bali

Bali is fast becoming the destination of choice for honeymooners and backpackers alike and it’s not hard to see why. It’s famous for its beautiful beaches, historical sites, and adventure sports like white water rafting and mountain climbing.

While you’re there make sure you visit the gorgeous artisan village of Ubud. It’s like stepping into another world.

Thailand

What could be better than an exotic getaway to the Far East? Try Thailand if you’re looking for a spectacular honeymoon or a holiday you will never forget.

You’ll have the best of both worlds with gorgeous beaches and resorts in places like Koh Samui as well as bustling nightlife and lots of history and culture in cities such as Bangkok. Sure what more could you want?

Vietnam

Vietnam is guaranteed to amaze even the most seasoned traveller. It’s well-known for its warm and friendly locals, architecture and amazing food. Make sure you visit Halong Bay, Hoi An and Dalat when you’re there. They won’t disappoint.

South Africa

South Africa is without a doubt one of the top honeymoon destinations for 2017. If you’re looking for city life and culture make sure you head for Johannesburg. If it’s beaches that you’re after then keep Durban, and its Golden Mile beachfront in mind.

Of course, you can’t go to South Africa without going on Safari. The good news is that there are lots of companies that offer affordable day trips. Most couples find that their money goes a long way in Africa with food and accommodation available at reasonable prices.

Mexico

Would you like to spend your holidays sunning yourself and eating tonnes of authentic Mexican food? It sounds like the perfect getaway to us. Mexico is really popular with Irish tourists, especially Cancun.

Located on the North East coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, this beach resort is ideal for water sports lovers because of its world class coral reef diving.

Barbados

Do you fancy white sand and crystal clear waters? Barbados is a firm favourite for holiday-makers. If you’re going to make this once in a lifetime trip why not do it on your honeymoon?

It’s not all about sunbathing either, there are lots of fun activities to try out on the island including, snorkelling, Barbados Wildlife Reserve and Harrison’s Cave in St. Thomas.

Indian Ocean

How does a water bungalow by the shore sound? There are so many fab places to visit in the Indian Ocean including, the Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles and Sri Lanka.

Make sure you pick an island that will suit you. The bigger islands have more amenities like golf courses etc. but if you would prefer a quieter escape then one of the smaller islands would be perfect for you. Either way, it is going to be a gorgeous trip. I mean just look at it.
