Once the Married At First Sight weddings are done and dusted, it’s time to get the ball rolling on the honeymoons.
For the couples, this is their first chance they’ve had to spend some alone time with their partner and get to know them properly, but more often than not, it’s the first time the cracks in some relationships start to show and the couples start to fight.
The MAFS honeymoons take place in an array of exotic locations, ranging from South-East Asia to local Aussie getaway spots, but there’s a reason why some are a little fancier than others.
Former bride Jessika Power revealed in an Instagram Q&A session that each couple’s honeymoon is dependent on the date they get married.
“So if you got married earlier on, you got an overseas holiday, if you got married late you got an interstate holiday, because everyone needed to be at the dinner party at the same time so we could all meet each other,” she explained.
This year, couples were treated to some lavish holidays, and if you saw these locations and thought about booking your own romantic trip away, you’re not alone.
We’ve found out the locations of every single MAFS honeymoon this year, including teh hotels where the couples stayed.
Check them out below.

That bed looks comfy.

Long walks on the beach anyone?
David and Hayley
We reckon Hayley and David got one of the best honeymoons this season, with a trip to Singapore. The pair stayed at the Outpost Hotel.

Hayley wasn’t afraid to show her silly side at Marina Bay Sands.

They may have had a few arguments, but at least they got to live it up in luxury.

It’s just a shame their fight dampened the mood.
Heritage Queenstown
Meanwhile, Mishel and Steve embraced their adventurous sides at Heritage Queenstown.
Mishel and Steve
Between racing each other on the luge to a romantic picnic on Lake Wakatipu, it looks like an idyllic getaway.
Mishel and Steve
And the skiing certainly took it out of them.

Sails Port Macquarie
Lizzie and Seb headed off to Sails Port Macquarie, a waterfront resort on the NSW coast.

Even though the strawberry picking may have been a little triggering.
Star of the Sea Resort
KC and Drew’s romantic getaway was at the Star of the Sea Resort in Terrigal, NSW.

Whether you prefer the pool or the beach, it looks like the perfect spot for couples.

And Terrigal’s only an hour and a half out of Sydney, so it has the low-key factor too.
