Greek islands? Naxos, santorini?

How much time will you have? Bali? Thailand? Something crazy like French Polynesia?

@FancyGem: ok, I probably wouldn't try to do anywhere in Asia in 7 days. Someone on HB planned a trip to the Amalfi coast awhile back. That sounded super romantic.

We had a great experience in Costa Rica last summer. The wildlife is insane, particularly near Manuel Antonio national park, and beaches to die for.

The Cinque Terre region in Italy is so romantic and more mellow than Amalfi. Monterosso al Mare has a nice big beach, but most of the towns have beautiful waterfronts of one kind or another.

Morocco is the next place on our list, mostly for culture, but they've got beautiful beaches, too, from what I hear.

Bucuti & Tara resort in Aruba! Super luxurious, child free and not super far from the US. We were going to go there for our baby moon before Zika ruined it. I think it’s safe now!

If you are considering Mexico at all, my husband and I went to The Resort at Pedregal for our honeymoon (then it was called Capella Pedregal). It was fantastic, super relaxing and the town nearby was adorable, walkabale and full of fabulous food.

We really loved the island of Nevis, if you’re looking in the Caribbean. I liked Greece, but I liked the Turkish coast even better. Maybe a cruise of both?

@FancyGem: we stayed in santorini very recently. The hotel was called The Vasiclicos. It’s spendy, but we both agreed it was even more incredible than our honeymoon nearly ten years ago in Fiji. The chef there was incredible. ’d also check out Naxos or sifnos (both have a less touristy vibe). Santorini can be touristy, especially oia and fira; we stayed near imerovigli which is a tiny town between the two which was much less so. The flight to Athens is pretty long tho, and I’d just skip Athens.
