Do you ever just scroll through your Instagram feed, stop on a picture and think, I want to go to there. That's me daily. Last year I went to Iceland, Puglia in Italy, and Rioja in Spain, each trip heavily influenced by pictures I'd seen online. And do you know what, all of them were even more gorgeous in real life! So today, we're bringing you honeymoon inspiration, not based on travel guides or expert suggestions, but on Instagram eye-candy and a bad case of travel envy! Introducing the Most Instagram-worthy Honeymoon Destinations (I defy you not to book a flight by the end of it!).

1. Galle, Sri Lanka

It seemed like everyone in my Instagram feed was in Sri Lanka over Christmas. And no matter what part of the country they were in, lush green mountains, pretty colonial towns or gorgeous beaches, it all looked pretty stunning (and the food looked unreal!). But it's Galle, a sleepy, but up-and-coming beach town in the Southwest Coast that seems like the perfect honeymoon blend of culture, cool, and blissed-out relaxation. Obligatory Instagram shots include: drinking fresh coconuts and swinging out of palm trees at sunset.

2. Polignano a Mare, Italy

I went to Polignano last year based on a single picture I'd seen of a famous cave restaurant in the town. But when I got there, I saw the old town, perched precariously on the cliff, overlooking the sheltered beach below, and it all looked so familiar. Turns out this town is Instagram famous, but honestly the pictures don't do it justice. This place is romantic, charming, so friendly and a great base for exploring Puglia - oh and if you go, make sure you eat at (the pricey!) Grotta Palazzese - it was on my bucket list and it deserves a spot on yours!

3. The Maldives

I always saw the Maldives as the same as any other luxury honeymoon destination, white sands, turquoise water, and gorgeous resorts, but I wasn't quite sure what set it apart. Recently though, I've been seeing it appear more and more on Instagram, and the Maldives look seriously fun! Unique resorts with cool features like slides into the sea, swings over the water, hammocks built for two, and outdoor cinemas. With great food, incredible water activities, and unrivalled star gazing, the Maldives offer plenty of photo ops to make your friends back home turn green.

4. Giraffe Manor, Nairobi, Kenya

I don't think there's any hotel on the planet quite as coveted on Instagram as Giraffe Manor in Kenya. We once shared a picture on our One Fab Day Instagram, and I think it was one of our most liked pics of the year. And it's easy to see why, a beautiful hotel where the giraffes poke their heads in the window while you're eating breakfast - now if that doesn't say photo op, I don't know what does! The perfect jumping-off point for an epic safari honeymoon in Kenya.

5. Beirut, Lebanon

Beirut might not seem like the kind of place you'd go to on honeymoon, but if you're looking for a mini-moon destination, or a city stop on the way to Asia or the Indian Ocean, it doesn't get much cooler. Instagram is partly responsible for showcasing this up-and-coming city for all its stylish cafes, bouquet hotels, fascinating history and exciting food culture. Get here this year before it's the next Berlin or Lisbon!

6. Palm Springs, California

There are few places as cool, colourful or photogenic as Palm Springs. A hip town in the middle of the desert, renowned as a stomping ground for the stars in its sixties heyday, it's certainly had a renaissance in recent years. With cool hotels, mid-century architecture, poolside glamour, and a thriving bar and restaurant scene, not to mention all the spectacular scenery just a drive away, make sure you put your phone down and stop Instagraming for long enough to take it all in! A great stop on a American roadtrip honeymoon.

7. Tromsø, Norway

A city that sits above the Arctic Circle, Tromsø in northern Norway is fast becoming a hot travel destination for couples searching for a mix of romance and adventure. One of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights (apparently Tromsø has more occurrences than anywhere else), it's also got whale watching, fjord excursions, dog sledding, ice hotels and a chance to learn all about indigenous Sami culture. It also happens to be a cool city with a happening nightlife. Get there before everyone else in your Instagram feed catches on.

8. Patagonia, Argentina and Chile

Patagonia has long been a favourite destination of photographers, and now amateur Instagramers are catching on too. Taking in both Pacific and Atlantic coasts, with snow-capped mountains, glaciers, grasslands, deserts and even temperate rainforests, there's a lot to experience, and photograph in this beautiful wilderness. Explore by foot, by car or on horseback, if you're looking for accessible adventure - with lots of great boutique hotel and glamping options - Patagonia is the ideal honeymoon destination. Don't forget your selfie stick!
