After many months of planning, the big day has arrived, you’ve said I do, and you’ve partied like you’re 21 and are now ready to sit back, relax and enjoy a fortnight in the sun or explore a new city. Most couples are looking for somewhere to recharge, celebrate and enjoy each other’s company in a very special destination.
Where will you go for the most romantic honeymoon?
The choice is endless. Here are a few of my favourite destinations suited to honeymooners.
The Amalfi Coast, Italy (The Land of Lovers)
The Amalfi Coast is a stunning stretch of coastline in southern Italy, known for its picturesque landscape, multicoloured cliffside villages like Amalfi and Positano and the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and a very popular destination for its beauty and cultural richness. Amalfi is also one of the most romantic destinations in Europe, honeymooners will remember this amazing destination with fond memories for evermore!
Maldives, Indian Ocean
The Maldives is a tranquil group of islands in the Indian Ocean, a tropical paradise and an idyllic honeymoon destination that offers an unparalleled romantic experience. There are lots of islands to choose from, but my choice would have to be Kuramathi, it’s 1.8kms long and is one of the largest tourist islands in Maldives and comprises of 360 villas in 11 categories to suit most budgets. It’s an all-inclusive resort featuring 12 superb restaurants and 7 bars all of which are located in beautiful settings around the island. You can walk the whole island in approximately 30/40 minutes and that includes the magnificent sandbank, that once visited, will never be forgotten! It was the highlight of my stay there.
Greece (Cyclades Island)
Santorini is often considered one of the most romantic islands in Greece, renowned for its stunning sunsets, and white-washed buildings with blue domes perched on cliffs overlooking the deep blue sea. The island offers breathtaking views. Its narrow winding streets, filled with cafés and restaurants serving delicious Greek cuisine are the place to be as you wait to witness some of the most magical sunsets you’ve ever seen. The joyous feeling that comes with being in the presence of someone special will be multiplied in this magical place!
Paris (The City of Lights).
While it’s not a beach destination, Paris is still one of the most romantic cities in the world. If you appreciate a good romantic walk hand in hand, you’ll love Paris, which offers culture, art and architecture, along with incredible food and wine. The iconic Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline and comes to life every evening. The tower is adorned with its golden covering and sparkles for 5 minutes every hour on the hour, while its beacon shines over Paris. Paris is famed for its romantic ambience, with charming cobblestone streets, sidewalk cafés, and the River Seine weaving through the heart of the city. Take a leisurely stroll or sit watching the world go by in this captivating city that has inspired artists, writers and dreamers alike. I guarantee you’ll return time and time again.
Bali, Indonesia.
It’s been years since I was in Bali but I believe it’s still as magical and spiritual as ever. Bali is famous for its stunning natural beauty. It has everything, from luxurious resorts to stunning beaches, lush terraced rice fields, mystical temples, crystal clear water and vibrant coral reefs. Venture into Bali’s forests is like stepping into an entirely new world. The forests are home to lots of secret waterfalls where couples flock for romantic picnics and secluded swims. Bali is also renowned for its spa resorts, offering luxurious wellness experiences. If you fancy some traditional Balinese treatments with modern spa amenities you’ve come to the right place.
