Honeymoon
AFTER YOUR SPECIAL DAY, THE PERFECT TIME TOGETHER
Once the wedding festivities are over, you will be more than ready for a wonderful honeymoon. Where will you go? What do you want from your special time together? What sort of memories do you want to bring back with you?
One
If your budget [or generous friends and family treat you]
then there are a multitude of amazing destinations to jet off
to. The Caribbean, the Far East, the Indian Ocean, African
Safari – where will be perfect for you? Action or relaxation? Adventure or pampering? Some locations offer unsurpassed water-sports, others will enfold you in luxurious relaxation in tropical jungle settings – there’s so much to choose from; take time to consider what your dreams are before you choose a destination. Also, check out what special honeymoon packages might be available – candlelit dinners on the beach, couples’ spa sessions, fresh flowers in your room each day – most top hotels will offer special extras so check with each tour provider to ensure you get the best experience possible.
Two
How long have you got before you have to return to ‘real life’? If time is limited, then maybe an amazing city break is the answer. Places such as Paris are always popular, and rightly so, but cities such as New York, Cape Town or Barcelona are also within easy reach as potential destinations.
Three
Honeymoon Volunteering
Perhaps you like the idea of escaping together whilst helping others and making a positive impact somewhere? Honeymoon volunteering opportunities exist worldwide – Nepal, Africa, Thailand, Latin America – these beautiful destinations all have programmes for honeymooners to spend an unforgettable time whilst helping with community programmes, environmental projects and similar schemes.
This is your very special time together where you’ll start married life; make sure you discuss what’s perfect for you both - then, the world’s your oyster.
