How badly do you want a beach? Would a nice hotel with an awesome pool do?
Perhaps think outside the box - spending a little more on airfares and less on accommodation you could spend the time somewhere very cool, like Las Vegas!

Thanks China, I've had a few holidays within Australia over the past 12 months so looking to get out of the country and make the most of the $AUS next year!
Got to have a beach, not just for the beach itself but also for the 'vibe' you get from beach side towns - always so chilled out and happy. For me, the honeymoon is all about chilling out with the missus! Also, we have a round the world trip planned in August next year where we will be doing a lot of running around.
Fair enough. When is the world trip? If you're not getting married until March why not just tack on a week on a beach somewhere in the world as part of the larger trip?
Yeah fair question. Everyone I have spoken to who has done that has regretted it, from what I hear you really need a week after the wedding to relax and spend some quality time together. If we made our round the world trip our honeymoon then we would have to wait 3 months before we had any time off.
We got married at the start of last year. We spent three nights in a really nice hotel in the city (Melbourne) and then moved up to Canberra as I got a job here. We then went on our proper honeymoon eight months later. I liked this because it meant that everything wasn't over at once and we could enjoy the holiday more.
and apparently scored a perfect score in all categories.

Fiji - pick one of the island resorts, beautiful water, white sand, warm sunshine and beautiful friendly people. Never found anywhere quite as relaxing, it is bliss.
What's with the attraction for March weddings?
We got married on March 26 - 19 years next year.We had our honeymoon and 10 year anniversary in Perth, Freemantle, Rottnest Island etc. It was really great, but I love the island experience...
I love Fiji and the Fijian people, and depending on what you like to do; a good mix of experiences which I did on one of my visits was 4 days at one of the mainland resorts down on the Coral Coast ("Naviti" or "The Fijian" for example), followed by a 3 day "Blue Lagoon Cruise", and finish up with another 4 or 5 days on one of the northern islands - "Matamanoa" and "Castaway" as 2 examples.
Matamanoa is couples only and very small and quiet, while Castaway is more orientated for families, so maybe too busy and not private enough.
We were tempted to do the same but I've spent the past 7 years really trying to accumulate and grow my business and next year is going to be about having fun and enjoying life. After that will get back into investing and saving!
Looks very nice!! Unfortunately if you want to do luxury in Australia you almost need Bill Gates' bank balance!! You can do it for a quarter of the price in Thailand etc.
Sound amazing!! Thanks Bayview
