Most popular celebrity honeymoon destinations

"Like many newlyweds, celebrity couples often want to go somewhere warm and tropical," said Elizabeth Graves, editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Weddings. "But their need for privacy calls for an exclusive spot that offers a private villa or home to give them utter seclusion." According to Graves and wedding planner Alison Hotchkiss, these destinations are the most popular with the stars.
