There are many factors to consider when looking into planning your honeymoon. Are you looking for a week or more in the sun in complete relaxation? Or would you prefer a cosy cabin in the English countryside? Depending on your budget and preferences will determine your ideal honeymoon. And no matter what you go for, you’re newlyweds, and you’ll have a fantastic time! Once you have decided whether you want to stay in the UK or venture further afield, it’s time to look at destinations.
Santorini is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets, white-washed buildings, and blue-domed churches. This Greek island offers a perfect blend of relaxation. romance and exploration, making it ideal for couples wanting a mix of both.
You can lay on white sandy beaches dine on Greek cuisine and explore the endless beauty that this island has to offer. Santorini has however become a bit of a victim of it’s own success and can be very busy. If you are looking for a quieter island then there are so many to choose from – Paros and Naxos are just as spectacular, as are many other smaller and less commercialised islands.
Nothing screams romance more than the capital of love, Paris. Sail along La Seine, walk the Champs Elysees, wander around Gallerie Lafayette as newlyweds and celebrate your new journey together at the top of The Eiffel Tower.
The Amalfi Coast is synonymous with romance. Its charming coastal towns, dramatic cliffs, and azure sea create a dreamy atmosphere for honeymooners. Enjoy leisurely days exploring picturesque villages, dining on exquisite Italian cuisine, and basking in the Mediterranean sun.
Scotland is the perfect adventure holiday if you fancy something far enough but not too far. There is so much to see and do! You can glamp in a gorgeous yurt or hut and wake up to the view of the highlands each morning. Enjoy guided tours of historic areas and go and visit the famous Lochness. A glamping trip can also be extremely budget-friendly and after a fantastic wedding sometimes a quiet trip away is all you need, especially if you don’t like flying. Whether you stay in a cosy cabin or a traditional hotel, Scotland can be the perfect newlywed escape with lots to do and see. And don’t forget the North Coast 500 – this is really growing in popularity and needs to be on most people’s bucket lists!
The Maldives is a top choice for couples seeking luxury and seclusion. With its private villas, clear blue waters, and abundant marine life, it’s a paradise for honeymooners wanting to unwind in an idyllic setting. The Maldives is the perfect honeymoon if you decide to keep the wedding low-key and go all out on the honeymoon. So many couples are now spending less on the ceremony and saving up for the honeymoon of a lifetime, somewhere exotic and in total luxury. But be aware that June has the possibility of really high rainfall so choose when you are going and be aware of the seasons.
There are so many islands to choose from and this is a really popular honeymoon destination. With long white sandy beaches, fabulous views, waterfalls, mountains, rainforests, other islands that you can travel to, we can see why it is still a perfect choice. The laid back way of living is also a wonderful benefit after the busy build up to your wedding. However you do need to think about the time of year that you go as their rainfall and possible hurricanes can be spectacular!
