Over to Claire:

Thailand

Claire Wilson - honeymoon expert at Mr & Mrs Smith: I was in Thailand before Christmas - it's rich in culture, the food is fantastic and, while it's a quintessential stop on the tourist trail, there are many lesser-travelled spots to uncover; it's also easy to navigate and the beaches are postcard-perfect. When it comes to honeymoons, there's a choice of newlywed-tailored trips: you could touch down in Bangkok and connect straight to Chiang Rai at the northern tip of Thailand (right on the border with views of Laos and Myanmar) to check-in at the Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort. It's as fascinating and pachyderm-packed as it sounds, with magical views and an elephant camp on the doorstep. What's not to love?

I'd suggest spending a few nights there, then - after a two-night stop off in Bangkok - head to the Rayavadee in Krabi, a coastal stay surrounded by limestone cliffs. There are three beautiful beaches just steps from your jungle-flanked villa, and the hotel itself has so much character. My favourite spot for a sunset-watching drink is in the hotel's grotto - a rough-hewn limestone cavern at the edge of the beach. There's plenty for adventure-seekers too: sea kayaking, rock climbing and day trips to Thailand's star turn, Maya Beach, made famous by a certain someone called Leo...

Sri Lanka and the Maldives

If you're planning a trip with two stops, Sri Lanka and the Maldives are my top picks. I'd choose Sri Lanka for its buzzy cosmopolitan capital and colonial-style stays in the tea-plantation-covered hills. Fly to Colombo, then stay in Kandy for a few days at The Kandy House, which only has eight romantic rooms; then, head to hill country and stay at Ceylon Tea Trails for butler-serviced rooms and visits to fragrant plantations. Arrive between February and mid April to see the annual Sami Komadu (Hindu temple) festivals. Top off your trip with five nights in the Maldives; I'd recommend a seriously luxurious stay at Gili Lankanfushi where relaxation is an art form. Since it's your honeymoon, why not splash out and stay in their Crusoe Residences - sigh-inducing over-water villas that can only be accessed by boat, which offer serious seclusion in the ultimate romantic setting.

Bali

I love Bali, it's an incredibly good-looking temple-dotted island, which also has a real focus on wellness and relaxation; it's exactly what you want from a honeymoon after all the stress of juggling seating plans, dress fittings and cake orders for the wedding! Como Shambhala Estate tops my personal wish list -admittedly it's not cheap, but if you can afford to splash out the treetop suites will enchant you. It's in the most incredible location: surrounded by jungle and they have a world-renowned spa.

Afterwards, settle in at Alila Villas Uluwatu, a secluded designer den that you'll never want to leave. Set on the south coast of the island, it has sweeping views of the Indian Ocean from its clifftop perch. The surrounding area is fairly quiet with hidden coves and white sand beaches to lose a few hours at. Surf enthusiasts are well catered for here, too; or you can just sit back and watch the pros ride the waves in style. The hotel's modern and minimalist architecture incorporates local materials in inventive ways to create a striking space that's utterly unique - our co founders Tamara and James were stunned into silence by the hotel's beauty when they were ushered into their plunge-pool-equipped private villa last summer. So, it comes highly recommended!
