    Rome

    WITH its stunning architecture, seductive cuisine and chic city-dwellers, Rome is an obvious choice for a short honeymoon.

    Stroll the piazzas, stop by the Trevi Fountain and take in a museum.

    And this year, the Colosseum's underground chambers and top tier are open to the public for the first time in 30 years.

    British Airways have four nights' B&B for the price of three at the 4 ESH Hotel, from £323pp. May return BA flights from Gatwick. See ba.com/rome or call 0844 493 0758.

    Cap Negret, Ibiza

    THINK the stylish side of Ibiza - not the ravers' paradise. It's the kind of place Kate and William went during their courtship.

    You can rent a beautiful secluded villa from £1,600 a week. The Ses Caletes villa has a 10m pool, four double bedrooms, a terrace and access to a shared private cove.

    It's surrounded by protected forests, farms and fincas and the sandy beach of Cala San Vicente is just a few minutes drive away.

    Car hire - which is essential - costs from £80 per week and flights to Ibiza start from £66. See spain-holiday.com or call 020 3384 7066.

    You can chose from cruises in the Caribbean, Mediterranean and Central America. Couples will be welcomed aboard with champagne and a fruit basket.

    These ships are much more personal than the huge liners of big cruise firms.

    A seven-night Med sailing aboard Royal Clipper starting and ending at Rome is from £1,375pp, not including flights.

    Flights to Rome start at about £100 return. See ryanair.com.
