Honeymoon
Ideas
For most newlyweds, your honeymoon is the trip of a lifetime. Sure, you may end up taking bigger or wilder trips down the road, probably with your growing family, but the first post-wedding getaway is epic. It allows you time to enjoy each other with all the planning and stress behind you. It sets the tone for the adventures you’ll have in your future, and it provides memories that will last your lifetime.
Whether you’re lie-n a beach with a coconut people, daring foodies, adventure junkies, snow bunnies, or city folk, there are incredible places near and far to indulge your personal idea of romance.
Travel Ideas
Tanzania
Glowing red and orange sunsets in wide, open skies, candlelit dinners beneath the stars, and falling asleep under canvas to the sounds of the bush: a Tanzanian safari effortlessly delivers romance to any honeymoon.
Indonesia
Indonesia’s almost endless list of beach resorts and boutiques offer the secluded coves, spa treatments and champagne sunsets many honeymoons are made of. It’s also home to one of the least-explored areas of Southeast Asia — the jungles of Kalimantan, southern Borneo.
Fiji
Fiji has the icing-sugar sand and aquamarine seas synonymous with the South Pacific, but it also has its own unspoiled culture and some of the most genuinely welcoming people I’ve ever met. Everyone greets each other daily with an upbeat call of ‘Bula!’ (‘Hello!’)
Mexico
Start by flying direct into Mexico City, where there’s a wealth of things to do. Interested in art? Pair a visit to Frida Kahlo’s home (filled with her memorabilia) with a tour of the National Palace to see her husband Diego Rivera’s politically charged murals. Food more your thing? You can take a guided cycling tour of the city’s best taco joints. For a change of scene, try a trajinera (gondola) ride through Xochimilco floating gardens.
Hawaii, USA
Few places are as ideal for honeymoons as Hawaii, in my opinion. You have all the benefits of a tropical locale combined with the easy logistics of visiting the USA, as well as the chance to include stopovers in San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York City to break up the long flight.
