Honeymoons in Georgia are filled with sultry southern excitement, romance and charm. There are miles of silky white beaches, lush gardens, old south architecture and sweeping mountain vistas. Try a little funkiness for those who live on the edge or sumptuous elegance, Georgia has it all.

Beach Bed and Breakfast on Little St Simons, one of the Golden Isles of Georgia, is the perfect honeymoon get away for those who enjoy basking in elegance. Miles of pristine beaches are steps away. Romantic dining on your own private veranda can get the romance started in a tasteful way.

Go for the gold at the Cloisters on Sea Island one of the top one hundred hotels in the world. Your every want and need attended to with the nod of a head. Set sail for a luxury cruise on the 71 foot yacht Cloister Belle or enjoy a moonlit walk down a deserted beach. This honeymoon will truly be a once in a lifetime experience.

If funky is more your style go for a honeymoon at the Highland Inn in Midtown Atlanta. This restored jewel in the heart of late night Atlanta action is just steps away from the best in live music, food and the Atlanta arts scene. Hop a cab for a short ride to Little Five Points and let the good time roll.

Rife with rustic romantic indulgence are the mountains of north Georgia. Try the Forest Hills Mountain Resort. Moonlit carriage rides or a horseback mountain picnic for those who dare. Take away all your cares with a couples in room massage. Villa style cabins hidden in the woods for ultimate honeymoon privacy.

Calloway Gardens near Pine Mountain Georgia is a lush landscape. Take a one room garden villa or a luxury room in the Lodge and Spa. Beautiful garden walks, millions of butterflies and four great golf courses. Boating on the lake, biking through the garden or a horseback ride through the hills begin the endless possibilities for outdoor fun.

Savannah by the River is a honeymooner's delight. Try the Marshal House just off the River in downtown Savannah and fly back in time. Stroll through one of the many parks, hit River Street for the nightlife and never have to venture more than a horse drawn carriage ride from your honeymoon suite. The beach at Tybee Island is just down the road. Romantic River and Ocean Cruises happen all day and night. Get close with a carriage ride through the haunted streets or wild with a haunted Pub Crawl.

 No matter what your taste or budget Georgia has just the right honeymoon for you. Delight in the natural beauty or relax in an elegant spa. Party the night away or spend a romantic evening in the moonlight. Honeymoon once in Georgia and you’ll want to relive it again and again and again for many anniversaries to come.
