A luxury honeymoon is the perfect opportunity for romance, relaxation, and exploration. This is the time to indulge in exclusive experiences and ultimate luxury.
Bora Bora
Bora Bora lies within the Society Islands group in French Polynesia and is as idyllic as its reputation. Stunning scenery and some of the world’s greatest beaches await in this South Pacific paradise.
Bora Bora is surrounded by translucent, aquamarine waters so snorkeling is a delight. The offshore coral reefs teem with tropical fish and are a habitat for sea turtles, sharks, dolphins, porpoises, and colorful hard and soft coral. You can immerse yourself in the marine life of French Polynesia by staying in the luxurious overwater bungalows of Bora Bora. Or experience the full ocean vistas on luxury yachts for charter.
The Maldives
Spectacular service, private pools, and secluded white sand beaches make the Maldives synonymous with luxury vacations. The South Asian country is made up of over 1,000 islands although only around 200 of them are inhabited. A large proportion of that total have exclusive tourist resorts making it the perfect place to honeymoon in peace. Some resorts have moved towards a more family-oriented offer so honeymooners may wish to consider adults-only locations. But there’s more to this archipelago than just relaxation. You can snorkel and observe manta rays, sea turtles, and whale sharks, go dolphin watching, enjoy island-hopping excursions, and surfing. Failing that you can always relax at a spa, sip a cocktail, and savor al fresco, ocean-side dining at sunset.
Kenyan safari
Embark on a safari honeymoon to the heart of Africa’s majestic wilderness. Exclusivity and luxury are plentiful here, with private lodges next to nature reserves and waterside villas. Bush and Beach honeymoons allow you to encounter the Big Five safari highlights of the Masai Mara before enjoying some R&R on the beach. The perfect combination. Safari peak season is between July and September when wildebeest make their dangerous annual migration across the Mara River. An awe-inspiring sight. Leopard, cheetah, and prides of lions are big cats that can be ticked off your wildlife bucket list.
Bali
The Indonesian Island has varied, enticing landscapes that will stay with you forever. From terraced rice fields and volcanoes to powdery soft sands and cascading surf, a honeymoon in Bali will meet your expectations and then some. Whether you’re into relaxation or more activities-focused, Bali has it all. With its exclusive resorts and private villas, a luxurious escape is guaranteed. For a romantic experience, a sunset trip to the clifftop Uluwatu Temple is a must. A similar experience can be enjoyed at Tanah Lot Temple in the west of the island.
Amalfi Coast
There can be few better marriages of natural and man-made beauty than the Italian town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast. Best viewed from the water, Positano’s pastel-colored buildings cling to cliffs that loom over the azure Mediterranean waters.
The Amalfi Coast has an ethereal charm and a laidback approach to life, far from the buzz of nearby city Naples. Inland the region is studded with mountains, forests, and fishing villages. There are also island-hopping opportunities – Isle of Capri anyone? And, of course, the food is something else. Enjoy simple specialties such as Caprese salad, made from local mozzarella and sweet tomatoes, followed by seafood linguine, all washed down with a glass of limoncello.
