SYDNEY, Australia - Where in the world are Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban? Their honeymoon plans were top secret, her publicist said, because the newlyweds want privacy.

The Hollywood actress and the country superstar were spotted leaving Australia late Monday on a private jet, the day after getting married in a candlelit ceremony in a cliff-top chapel in Sydney.

Wendy Day, Kidman's Australian publicist, refused to disclose the couple's destination. They had reportedly booked The Wakaya Club in Fiji for a week, where Kidman is reported to have a favorite villa.

Manager Rob Miller declined to give any information about the resort's guests. "We just don't release anything," Miller told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "The first thing you do when you get to Wakaya is disappear."

The ultra-exclusive island resort is a preferred destination for superstars seeking to avoid the prying eyes of paparazzi and celebrity gawkers.

However, Fiji was once a vacation spot for Kidman and ex-husband Tom Cruise, prompting speculation that she and Urban would opt instead for a resort on Tahiti's Bora Bora island.

Kidman said she was "overwhelmed" by the goodwill lavished upon her when she returned to Australia for her wedding, which was the celebrity event of the year in Sydney.

Her publicist said the 39-year-old actress was made so emotional by the attention, she had to be taken into a separate room to regain her composure and have her makeup reapplied before walking down the aisle, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

"She wasn't just touched, she was gobsmacked, she was overwhelmed," Day was quoted as saying. "She couldn't believe the amount of support and warmth and ... Australian-ness that was there for her."

Kidman won the best-actress Oscar in 2002 for "The Hours." Urban, 38, took home a Grammy Award this year for best male country vocal performance.

The couple plan to live in Nashville, Tenn., where Urban is based, Kidman has said.
