Bruny Island Hideaway, Australia
It is no secret that Bruny Island, the land of cheese and oysters makes for a perfect honeymoon destination. But have you met Bruny Island Hideaway?

The middle of a desert might not be your first thought for a honeymoon, but after meeting Villa Kuro, you might not want to stay anywhere else. Set in California’s Joshua Tree on 3.6 acres of the island, Villa Kuro is a minimalist’s dream. Its neutral tone on tone mid-century decor honours the property’s 1960s origins. It’s private and secluded (right down to having its own cactus garden) making it the perfect honeymoon escape.

The cement walls and wooden details echo the modern, beautiful styling.
