You’ve done it, you’re married. Everything has been leading up to this one moment… The honeymoon! The days of saying your ‘I do’s’ are behind you, and with countless months planning that big day, it’s a well-earned break. But that doesn’t mean the planning stops there. Organizing the perfect spot to fly to with your one true love is just as important, so it’s about time it gets the recognition it deserves.
Newlywed bliss is a very important and exciting journey to embark on and choosing the correct destination that you’ll both love is imperative. Whether you’re imagining yourself in the blue hues of the Maldives, where you can frolic in the sand to your heart’s content, or whether you’re looking for a city to get lost in; your trip of a lifetime can be enjoyed in all kinds of ways.
It could be a country retreat, a fancy over-water villa worthy of celebrity treatment, or generally just your local town, but it’s got to be right for you and nobody else. Get ready to dive into the five wondrous locations that we’ve found and leap into wedded bliss with a bang.
- Maldives, Indian Ocean
One of the most popular choices amongst holiday makers and on the majority’s bucket list destinations – it’s the glorious Maldives. The ultimate holiday choice for honeymooners looking for a serene atmosphere to remember. Absorb in the picturesque, postcard worthy scenes, and entrap yourself into your very own overwater villa. Take in the blue lagoons with your other half and experience intimacy like no other in your own secluded areas. It’s the one-stop for having the ‘star treatment’, where you can wake up, swim with dolphins from your front door, then enjoy couples’ massages after lunch. Treat yourselves to a personal supper on the beach for the piece de resistance of your honeymoon.
It’s one for the aqua-life lovers, as the Maldives is famous for its coral reefs, blue waters and beautiful sea life. There’s so much to explore, yet so quiet and peaceful – it’s perfect!
- Las Vegas, United States
Fancy yourself some busy nightlife with the hustle and bustle of city life? Then Las Vegas is for you. We’re not all sun worshippers and that’s okay, which is why we’ve found the perfect spot for the newlyweds who love the fast-paced things in life. If you and your partner are looking for an adventure like no other, with a city that never sleeps, then Vegas is your King. Chill around the luxurious hotel pools in the day time, reading about slots features before heading out on the tiles for your big celebration of wedded bliss. By night you’ll be journeying down the strips, dabbling on the poker tables, and experiencing a touch of lady luck.
Vegas certainly isn’t just for a shotgun wedding, it’s for those looking to let their hair down and celebrate the joys of love!
- Santorini, Greece
Looking for a destination that’s both picture-perfect and lively? Then Santorini is calling. You’ll know all about this beautiful island seeing that it’s splattered all over Instagram, however there’s a good reason for that. An easy venture for those in Europe, but a lengthy commute for us Americans, it is still a honeymoon destination that’s worth the trip.
Travel down the cobbled streets of this gorgeous island hand-in-hand with your loved one, taking in the glorious views of the whitewashed buildings. Once you’ve explored, you can unwind into the crystal-clear Aegean waters and experience the romance of the Greek air. Whether you’re choosing a destination for the sun worshippers or culture seekers, the island of Santorini has everything covered.
- Saint Lucia, Caribbean
Whisk yourselves away to the middle of the Caribbean, where peace, tranquility and culture are combined to create the luscious Saint Lucia. Boasting pristinely white, curated sand beaches and a roster of luxurious resorts, you can take your honeymoon to serenity with this one.
Entrust yourselves to the culture of the island with delicious meals on the beach, rainforests to get lost in and service that you’ll have never experienced before. Soft spot for the sea? Float away into the mystical waters of the Caribbean with an intimate boat tour around the island. Finish your evening by dining at sea and indulge in a candlelit dinner overlooking the magic of the water – it’s a memory that you’ll keep forever.
- Paris, France
Ah, the ‘City of Love’ – Cliche to some, a romance novel for others, but the perfect destination for a honeymoon for us. Paris is the unspoken queen of all honeymoon locations, so no matter what kind of trip you’re looking for, this one has it all.
There’s plenty to do whilst you and your other half are exploring the city of love, but we vote for a touch of shopping; after all, Parisiens do it best! After you’ve shopped till you drop, you can laugh the night away on the seine or pop into some infamous bistros for a good glass of red.
Later you can wake yourselves up after a night on the tiles with a couples massage in the hotel’s five-star spa – it’s certainly the treatment you deserve.
No matter if you’re opting for the flashing lights of the city or choosing the laid-back aura of the beach, there is only one thing that’s really important – and that’s the person you’re doing it with. Wedding stress is long in the past, so get ready to relax, breathe, and most importantly – have fun!
