Top 10 Sexiest Honeymoon Destinations

Hotel: One by the Five Hotel
Rates: Starting at $1,350 US

Ultramodern One by the Five (a single five-room apartment suite run by the Five Hotel across the street) takes the Parisian "City of Light" moniker to another level by weaving optic fibers throughout the suite's decor, from its glass desks and bathroom tiling to its starry, starry ceilings. You'll feel like you've entered a dreamlike, mystical otherworld ... and that's not even to mention its famed floating bed. There's also a room featuring red-velvet detail, but the unique attraction is an infrared video camera that broadcasts what goes on under the covers to your own closed-circuit TV for added sex appeal.

Hotel: Casas Brancas
Rates: Starting at $198 US

At Mediterranean-inspired boutique pousada Casas Brancas, easy bossa nova beats are interlaced with Brazilian breezes. Soak in a bath as the fresh ocean air rolls in over the Bay of Búzios.

Bask in the warm glow of the setting sun, stretch and unwind. You've found paradise.

Hotel: Hermitage Bay
Rates: Starting at $830 US (all-inclusive)

Live out your Caribbean fantasies at Hermitage Bay in Antigua.

In addition to breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, hors d'oeuvres, dinner, an impressive wine list and premium-brand cocktails, this five-star all-inclusive resort offers airport transfers to guests staying at least three nights, as well as yoga on the beach. With only 25 freestanding suites spread over 140 acres set against the turquoise Caribbean Sea, you may just feel like the only guests.

Hotel: Hotel Nelligan
Rates: Starting at $220 US

Montreal is as enchanting as Paris, but without the attitude or the overseas flight. Most bedroom windows at Hotel Nelligan open to the historic Old Montreal neighborhood with its cobblestone streets, fine French cuisine and café culture. But spring for a penthouse suite for a racy glassed-in shower and a private rooftop terrace.

Hotel: Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel
Rates: Starting at $500 US

Follow the winding stone path lined by hummingbird feeders, a Peruvian botanical garden and the rushing Vilcanota River to your casita at the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel. Thick alpaca blankets and handmade wool coverlets add to the intimate, lodge-like Andean ambience. After your early-morning Machu Picchu explorations, retreat to the Unu Spa for the Andean Sauna, where stones are heated in a candlelit eucalyptus hut.

Hotel: Makweti Safari Lodge
Rates: Starting at $665 US

Accommodating only 10 visitors at a time, Makweti is a luxury safari lodge with elegant thatch and stone suites, some with private plunge pools, all with outdoor showers and Victorian bathtubs. In the remote South African Welgevonden Reserve, three hours outside Johannesburg, you'll observe the "Big Five" beasts and more during daily driving and walking tours. At night, after working up an appetite, you'll dine under the stars in a bonfire-lit boma (an outdoor space that's enclosed to provide safety from the wandering wildlife); Makweti is even a member of Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, an international gastronomic society. Trust your animal instincts and go.

Hotel: The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort
Rates: Starting at $1,025 US

Overwater bungalow? Beach villa with private plunge pool? Overwater bungalow with a plunge pool suspended over the lagoon? (Yes, really.) Regardless, you'll be seduced by the rhythm of lapping South Pacific ripples. Release any post-wedding stress with an Aroma Rhassoul Ancient Ritual treatment at their Miri Miri Spa, or savor the seclusion of a personal cabana by the adults-only Oasis Pool. At the St. Regis Bora Bora, you can drink it up.

Hotel: W Istanbul
Rates: Starting at $245 US

Sip a Turkish raki (potent grape brandy with a hint of anise) at the W Lounge, then head upstairs. Between the signature W bed, goose-down comforters, W pillow menu and marble soaking tubs (and Jacuzzis in some suites), the W Istanbul speaks the language of love, to say the least. Book the WOW Suite for an extra-titillating twist: Mirrored ceilings, anyone? Even their fitness center is called SWEAT.

Hotel: Alila Ubud
Rates: Starting at $185 US

On the edge of the Ayung River Valley in Bali's central foothills, Alila Ubud blends vibrancy with tranquility. The various room types offer open-air bathtubs and wraparound decks, and all rooms offer views of the surrounding volcanoes and the river below; you'll feel as though you're staying in a tree house. Villas feature private pools with comfy lounges and Balinese umbrellas. Ubud, the island's artistic and cultural center, is nearby. And breakfast is included in the reasonable rates.

Hotel: Casa de Sierra Nevada

Rates: Starting at $205 US

If you believe the way to someone's heart is through his or her stomach, then turn up the heat on some honeymoon aphrodisiacs at Sazon, the Casa de Sierra Nevada cooking school. And taste is only one of the senses you'll indulge while in movie-set-romantic San Miguel de Allende: After admiring the many art galleries among the Spanish Colonial architecture, head back to the hotel's Laja Spa for a natural Herbal Healing Therapy couples massage. Between the soothing glow of the working fireplace (available in most suites) and the sound of the trickling courtyard fountains outside your door, our sixth sense suggests that you'll never want to leave.
