Perhaps one of the most relaxing and romantic vacations you’ll ever take with your (new) spouse, creating the perfect honeymoon starts with choosing the perfect destination. Whether you’re thinking a tropical Caribbean getaway or luxurious ski vacation in Switzerland, here are five tips that can help you and your sweetheart (amicably) choose just the right place.
What Do You Enjoy Doing as a Couple?
Your hobbies as a couple will likely influence where you choose to go. For example, if you and your fiance are outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, plan a trip in a beautiful location that offers plenty of outdoor activities such as the Grand Canyon or hiking in the Alps.
Do You Want Urban or Secluded?
While some couples want to spend their honeymoon in a secluded, remote, place (think a quiet bed and breakfast in the mountains), others want a action packed trip filled with a jam-packed sightseeing schedule and vibrant nightlife. If that’s more of what you’re looking for, a few places to consider include New York City, Miami, London and of course “the city of love,” Paris.
What is your time frame?
Unfortunately, all honeymoons must come to a conclusion and often budgets and work conflicts dictate when that happens. Some honeymoon locations may not be the most practical choice simply because you do not have the time needed to make the trip worth it (especially when you factor in the travel time to get to certain far-off locations).
Are you looking for a Thrill?
If you’re looking for an action-packed honeymoon, consider a city that offers plenty to do, from hiking to surfing and much more. You can zip-line through the rain forests of Costa Rica or go on a safari in Africa. Make sure you do your research to ensure there’s plenty to do! Some tropical resorts don’t offer much more than rest and relaxation.
What can you Spend?
As mentioned previously, your budget is another factor that will largely influence the destination you pick. A domestic honeymoon may cost less than traveling overseas simply when you consider airfare. Or you may have to pick and choose which activities you do and sights you see while there. If you’re looking for a luxurious stay in a five-star hotel but your finances prevent you from doing so, consider staying somewhere plush for a couple nights then switching to a more affordable hotel.
