The Honeymoon Destination Most Likely To End In Divorce: The Results Will Surprise You

Want to avoid divorce? It turns out that where you go on your honeymoon can have a big impact on the health of your marriage. A new report from the site Compare.bet surveyed 3,100 people whose marriage ended in divorce to see where they went on their honeymoon. Although it ranks on some lists as a top bucket list honeymoon destination, it turns out that the Maldives is the biggest marriage wrecker.

According to the report, 20% of couples who got divorced had traveled to the dreamy drop-out islands of the Maldives in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Next worst on the list was Marrakesh, where 17% of honeymoons ended in divorce after visiting this exotic city in Morocco. Rounding out the top five was Bora Bora (13%), Bali (10%) and Mauritius (8%).

On the other hand, maybe you’re getting divorced and want to celebrate it. One travel company is promoting The Islands of Tahiti as the place to go after a divorce. Call it a “divorceabration.” True Tahiti Vacation recently launched a range of trips that combine a divorce and celebration with experiences ranging from solitude and reflection to fun and adventure. Travelers can pick from five- to seven-night packages including “Living the Dream” and “Let Freedom Ring” to “New Adventures” and “Your Best Life.”

“Celebrating a divorce takes on a new life as our guests look out at the turquoise lagoons and up at the velvet green mountains,” says Laurel Samuela, owner and founder of True Tahiti Vacation. “It’s an opportunity to sit back and toast with a best friend that you survived the divorce, acknowledge how beautiful life is and look forward to all that lies ahead.”
