We've searched high and low to bring you the best unique honeymoon destinations for 2015, complete with adventure, glorious scenery and unforgettable experiences - plus a few beaches along the way.

Whether you're looking for a relaxed minimoon in the UK or a fortnight soaking up the culture in a country you've never heard of, you will be spoilt for choice with our selection of amazing honeymoon ideas.

Have your friends recommended Mauritius? Well, we've found a lesser-known neighbouring island, where you can experience a helicopter ride over a volcano and witness some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the Indian Ocean, all while staying at the island's trendiest hotel.

If you're not interested in long-haul travel, there are plenty of options closer to home. One tiny island in the UK offers beaches that rival the Caribbean, and with no roads, just a handful of cottages and no noise allowed, it's the ultimate location for a peaceful start to married life.

Over in one European country, there is a medieval land of fairy tale castles, horse and cart picnic rides and bear spotting awaiting newlyweds in one of the continent's most unusual honeymoon locations. Meanwhile, those after a more exotic trip can experience floating markets, visit friendly hillside tribes and enjoy dinner by a lantern-lit river in Asia.

Take a look at our undiscovered honeymoon ideas, starting with a luxury cruise on the isolated part of the Amazon River.
