New research has revealed each US state’s favorite honeymoon destinations, with Indonesia taking the top spot as the most desirable destination for American newlyweds in eight states. Of those, seven were interested specifically in Bali. 

The research by honeymoon experts Honeymoon Always analyzed Google Trends data to establish the most-searched-for honeymoon destinations in each state.  The analysis revealed that Indonesia topped people’s wish lists in eight states, with Hawaii, Kansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming all wanting to visit Indonesia. When broken down, the majority of these states search the most for a honeymoon in Bali, apart from Kansas, which searches most for a honeymoon in Indonesia in general.  

• Mexico ranks as the most Googled honeymoon destination in seven states. Tulum is the most Googled area of Mexico for honeymooners, with couples in Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Texas all wanting to visit there. Connecticut residents searched for honeymoons in Cabo San Lucas, and Nevada couples most want to visit Puerto Vallarta.  
• Italy leads the way for a European honeymoon destination. It is the top search in six states, as Florida, Oklahoma, Washington, Michigan, and Illinois are all searching for honeymoons on the Amalfi Coast. In contrast, newlyweds from New Mexico are searching for Italy as a whole.  
• Switzerland is the most searched-for honeymoon destination in Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, and North Carolina. 
• Greece is the most Googled honeymoon destination in three states–New Hampshire, South Dakota, and New Jersey–with Santorini and Mykonos being top destinations. 
• St. Lucia is the most Googled honeymoon destination for couples in Georgia and Vermont.

• The Maldives was also the most Googled location for those looking to book a honeymoon from Alaska and Rhode Island. 
• The Seychelles were the most desirable honeymoon destinations for residents from Indiana.
• West Virginia couples Googled the romance capital of the world, Paris in France, more than any other destination, whilst Iceland is the top honeymoon destination for South Carolina couples.  

“We always have a pulse on what destinations are the most popular for honeymoons, but studies like this are always fascinating to see where people are actually interested in visiting” said Dan Bagby of Honeymoon Always, adding  “While a relatively small percentage of people actually make it to Bali, it’s clearly a popular dream destination where hopes may be tempered once the cost and flight times are understood.”
