You are soon going to be man and wife officially! The whirlwind that is the run-up to the wedding is done and you are almost on the brink of that picture perfect day. When the confetti settles down on it all, you will get into the next most memorable leg of your journey – that of the honeymoon.
It is now time to get away from all the attention that comes with the wedding and spend some time exclusively with each other. Planning the perfect honeymoon is just as important as getting the details of your big day down correctly. Here are some secrets to picking your ideal honeymoon destination.
Consider interests: Honeymoon destinations must be places where both of you will enjoy spending time together. Beach destinations are quite the common affair, but what you must remember is that they are not unusual and can be done anytime. What you need is a destination that is something both of you would not think of going to otherwise. Think of your interests – travelling, adventure sports, deep sea diving, trekking, animal safaris, cultural exchanges – this will help you narrow down on places that allow you to explore each other’s interests and create some beautiful memories as well.
Of course, another option would be to spend the time completely with each other. In such cases, you may want to look at all-inclusive honeymoon destination resorts that give you all the privacy and entertainment you may need when on your honeymoon.
Think of Ambience: It is important that you look into the weather of the places that you are narrowing down on. Keep in mind each other’s preferences for temperatures. While some like hot, suntan inducing kinds of places, others prefer the shade and cooler climates. Finalize your destination based on each other’s choice of climate and the compromise you are willing to arrive at should both your tastes be diametrically opposite.
Research Your Destination: Once you have a destination in mind, it is important to research the location. Look for political issues that may be brewing, which may spoil your honeymoon. Ensure that all the activities you are looking for are available. Look into weather predictions to ensure you may not be stepping into a volatile zone. Ensure that any special amenities you are looking for are easily available.
Look for Memorable Sites: With a location narrowed down, look hard for all the memorable things that you can do at this place together. Try to see if you can get a local couple to host or take you around for a day. Ensure that you do not pack too many things into your itinerary because you are looking at spending time with each other as well and not simply trudging from one location to another, camera in hand.
Plan Well: It is important, as a newly married couple to set a budget for yourself for your honeymoon. While indulgence is natural at this time, do think of your long-term finances as well. Keep in mind the duration of your honeymoon and pace your finances accordingly. This will help you narrow down on locations as well as hotels and other activities.
Planning a honeymoon together is half the fun of going on the trip together. There are a host of destinations such as The Maldives, among many others that you may consider for your honeymoon.
