Luxury Honeymoon Holidays

A fortnight offers a good amount of time to switch off and enjoy time together. It’s also enough time if you’re staying in one destination, but also allows wiggle room to include another destination turning your honeymoon into a multicentre trip. This is an option for couples who have split feelings on the holiday they go for, for example adventure and touring in Sri Lanka before relaxing on the beach on the Maldives.

The cost of a honeymoon varies depending on factors like destination, duration, and accommodation. On average, UK couples can expect to spend between £3,000 and £8,000 or more. However, it’s important to remember that you have the flexibility to choose what suits your preferences and budget.

Some couples opt for a ‘minimoon’ as a more affordable option while saving for a full honeymoon. By researching destinations and planning ahead, you can create a memorable honeymoon experience that fits your budget.

Couples on honeymoon engage in a variety of activities based on their personal preferences and the destination they choose. Here are some common activities that couples enjoy during their honeymoon:

1. Relaxation: Many couples use their honeymoon as an opportunity to unwind and enjoy quality time together. They might lounge on the beach, indulge in spa treatments, or simply bask in the tranquility of their surroundings.

2. Sightseeing and exploring: Honeymooners often explore their destination, visiting famous landmarks, historical sites, or natural wonders. They might take guided tours, go hiking or biking, or embark on cultural excursions to immerse themselves in the local culture.

3. Romantic dinners: Couples often enjoy intimate and romantic meals together. They may dine at fine restaurants, have candlelit dinners on the beach, or arrange private dining experiences.

4. Adventure and outdoor activities: Some couples seek thrilling experiences during their honeymoon. They might go snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, zip-lining, or participate in watersports like kayaking or parasailing.

5. Cultural experiences: Exploring local traditions, art, music, or cuisine can be a significant part of a honeymoon. Couples may attend cultural shows, visit museums, take cooking classes, or go on food tours to immerse themselves in the local culture.

6. Relaxing in luxury accommodations: Honeymooners often choose luxurious accommodations to enhance their experience. They might stay in romantic resorts, private villas, or boutique hotels that offer special amenities like private pools, Jacuzzis, or breathtaking views.

7. Quality time and romance: Honeymooners prioritize spending quality time together. They may enjoy sunset walks, stargazing, or simply savoring quiet moments together.

Each couple’s honeymoon is unique, and the activities they choose depend on their preferences, the destination, and the overall vibe they want for their special trip. It’s important to communicate with your partner and plan activities that will make your honeymoon a memorable and enjoyable experience for both of you.

The Maldives are unique – fact. If your heart is set on the Maldives, flexibility is key to getting the best value for money. Offers tend to come out for travel in the British summer months which is low season in the Maldives, but days are warm in the high 20’s and any rainfall often short-lived.

For something more budget-friendly but not compromising on luxury, there are many options closer to home – stunning destinations and hotels with the serious WOW factor. Santorini and Positano come with unbeatable, romantic vistas and islands in Greece like Mykonos and Crete have incredible beaches. All hotels with Classic Collection are considered best in class, so there’s no worries there, either.
