You may have been wondering if Morocco is good for a honeymoon.

Err, short answer - hell yes!

This exotic country is renowned for outstanding hospitality, stunning landscapes and traditional riad-style homes.

There are endless opportunities for romance too. Visit the magical 15th-century ‘Blue City’ (also known as Chefchaouen) for insta-worthy snaps with your love. Escape from ordinary life with a stay in a luxurious lodge deep within the Sahara Desert. Or spend a weekend holding hands and haggling for souvenirs in one of Marrakech’s thriving markets.

Morocco’s climate is very pleasant during October with daytime temperatures maxing out at 29 degrees Celsius, accompanied by much cooler nights.

However, you can expect more rain than the drier, summer months, so it’s a good idea to pack a raincoat just in case!

Travel tip…

Lovers of electronic music will go crazy for the MOGA Electronic Music Festival held during the middle of the month in Essaouira – a filming location for Game of Thrones! Music, dance and art combine for an extraordinary event.

By October, the rainy season is drawing to a close. However, expect the unexpected weather wise. Especially if you’re travelling across regions during your trip.

There’s generally more rainfall in the Southern Thai islands than the mainland across October. That’s why it’s a great time to explore Bangkok and its neighbouring areas – Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi.

Fed up of big city living? Take a trip to the Thai countryside and its every shade of green. Chase waterfalls, hike through rice fields and soak up the stunning natural beauty of this striking country.

Indonesia makes an idyllic October honeymoon destination.

This effortlessly enchanting land, comprising no less than 13,000 islands, boasts a truly unique and diverse offering when it comes to honeymoon holidays.

For beachside luxury, the Gili Islands, Bali, Lombak and Kuta are all fantastic options. For an action-packed adventure, take a trek through the Kalimantan jungle. Or go temple-hunting in Central Java and visit the world’s largest Buddhist temple - the Borobudur.

In October, the crowds have dispersed and prices are cheaper than the middle of summer. So, you’re likely to snag a cheap deal on airfare too.

October does mark the end of the dry season however, and early morning or late evening rain is to be expected. Bali though is typically less affected by heavy rainfall and storms.

This long-haul honeymooners’ haven has a lot going for it.

From all-inclusive luxury resorts in Cancun to exploring ancient Mayan ruins in Tulum. Mexico offers a honeymoon for every type of couple.

October is still considered the low season for Mexico, so that means lower price tags and fewer crowds too. If you head towards the latter part of the month, you’ll also time your trip perfectly with the end of the rainy season.

Temperatures sit between 23 to 30 degrees Celsius - a welcome break from the rather pathetic highs of 13 in the U.K.

And this slightly ‘cooler than normal’ climate for Mexico only makes sightseeing in culture hotspots Guanajuato, San Cristobal, and Mexico City even more enjoyable.

If you’re in search of sunshine, head to the beaches of Acapulco and avoid the frenzied larger crowds of busier months.

California is an ideal honeymoon destination year-round. And its nickname, ‘land of the fair weather’, is pretty accurate.
