When you think of a romantic vacation, do you instinctively envision an island and a beach? Most people do, but honeymoon vacations run the gamut from busy, outdoor adventures to relaxing, picturesque and quiet interludes. The truth is there are many reasons why one might want an unconventional vacation. For instance, if two avid travelers marry later in life, they may need to find something unique to both of them. If they're getting married in the summer, they may want to forego the stifling beach heat. If they're on a second honeymoon, they may want to choose a romantic cruise or plan a wedding/honeymoon all in one. Here are some of the latest trends in honeymoon vacation packages.
Not every couple craves lounging on the beach all day for their honeymoon vacation package. Active adventurers may prefer surf lessons, mountain climbs, four wheeling and skydiving.
Adventurous honeymoons can include a nature trek at Tintswalo Safari Lodge in South Africa (www.tintswalo.com), a bike tour of the Mediterranean island of Gozo (www.breakaway-adventures.com) or a helicopter tour of the glaciers on Vancouver Island (www.nimmobay.com). Visit www.voyagetrek.com to find tour operators that can accommodate your travel adventures, whether it is horseback riding or zip-lining.
Many couples are looking to stay in a "home away from home" on their honeymoon vacations, which is why the Private Villa romantic vacation idea is picking up steam. Couples can choose from a country cottage to a beach rental to a luxurious mansion. While these exclusive rentals often cost a pretty penny, many people feel it is totally worth it to be left alone for their whole honeymoon, while still receiving the best treatment from personal butlers, chefs, housekeepers and masseuses. Popular romantic destinations include Amanyara in Turks and Caicos (www.amanresorts.com), Cotton Bay Villas in the Bahamas (www.discovercottonbay.com) and the Ritz-Carlton in Bali (www.ritzcarlton.com). For a more comprehensive listing of 1,600 villas, visit www.wimco.com.
Many couples are through with planning all the intricate details of the wedding and everything else, so they're looking for something hassle-free for their honeymoon vacations. Thus, the all inclusive romantic resort was born. Reputable name-brands like Sandals (www.sandals.com), Couples (www.couples.com) and Club Med (www.clubmed.us) can whisk newlyweds away to a number of exotic destinations from Jamaica and Antigua to the Bahamas and Mexico. All food, premium alcoholic beverages, activities and accommodations are covered in one price, which makes saving and planning for a romantic honeymoon a cinch. - 30413
