The wedding is one of the most momentous events in a married couple’s shared life. In this day and age, it’s very often a huge production that rivals or surpasses that of a Bollywood production or Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, requiring months of meticulous planning and preparation to execute an event that meets the needs and expectations of the couple as well as those attending the ceremony, which can range from just an officiate and witness to hundreds of guests. It’s no surprise that weddings are therefore very stressful and that many couples look forward to the honeymoon even more than the wedding. For this reason, choosing a honeymoon destination can depend on a lot of factors. You and your soon-to-be spouse should discuss what you hope to get out of the experience as you work toward deciding where to go and what to do. Here are five phenomenal honeymoon vacation destinations that will take some of the guesswork out of the decision.
Beach Destinations
Honeymoons at a beach locale are one of the most popular options among newlyweds. There’s something about sunlight, sand and seashores that appeals to most everyone – probably because we equate it with rest and relaxation. Whether you’re going to a popular resort where you’ll have the chance to cavort with other couples or a more private location where you can focus on one another in your first few days of wedded bliss, beach honeymoons boast beauty and diversion.
Historical/Cultural Destinations
If, on the other hand, you and your spouse find that you best unwind when you’re losing yourself in ancient ruins or cavernous cathedrals, a honeymoon with an itinerary that features jaunts to places of historical and cultural significance might be more your bag. Whether you’re strolling along the strada in Sicily or exploring Easter Island’s stone statues, feeding your mind might be the best way to clear it as well.
Amusement Destinations
Perhaps you two lovebirds are the type who will be looking for a little fun and a lot of silly for your post-wedding plans. If so, perhaps a trip to an amusement park or similar attraction is in order. Whether you find yourself posing for pictures with Peter Pan at DisneyWorld or shimmying up to Shamu at SeaWorld, you’ll be guaranteed lots of laughs as well as love on your honeymoon.
Adventure Destinations
Maybe you want to start your metaphorical adventure in marriage with a real one on your honeymoon. If this sounds ideal, then consider a honeymoon amid the hubbub of holiday high jinks. A safari, zip lining, parachuting and parasailing: there are a wealth of options for wedded couples who want to start their marriage with real-life, heart-pounding thrills.
Just-The-Two-of-You Destinations
If the stress of the wedding left you wanting to do nothing but (ahem) spend time along with your sexy spouse, then less might be more in the planning department. Whether you choose a quaint bed and breakfast or a secluded cabin, it’s hard to go wrong with a honeymoon location that caters to newlyweds spending a lot of quality time together alone.
