According to Travel+Leisure, as a generally less-expensive alternative to Thailand's famous tourist destinations, Vietnam has a little something for every kind of honeymooner.

The magazine suggested visiting the Valley of Love in Da Lat or enjoying the scenic views of the Muong Hoa Valley or Fansipan mountain for those who like to hike.

For couples looking for a honeymoon filled with food and culture, it is recommended that they book a stay at the luxurious Sofitel Legend Metropole in Hanoi, where they will find an oasis in the centre of a buzzing city.

It added that honeymooners searching out beaches, spas and relaxation will want to head to Con Dao, a group of islands off the coast that offers an affordable honeymoon filled with white-sand beaches and scenic trails.

Other destinations for budget-conscious honeymooners include Belize, Key Largo (Florida, US), Bermuda, Jamaica, Napa and Sonoma (California, US), Mexico, Honolulu (Hawaii, US), Costa Rica, Portugal, Niagara-on-the-Lake (Ontario, Canada) and Guatemala.
