What is the perfect honeymoon? Is it lounging on the beach loved up, sipping on a pina colada? Or, perhaps, it’s enjoying the most delicious meal of your life in Paris? While these undoubtedly sound amazing, they’re only the only options!
A honeymoon is whatever the happy couple wants it to be. So, if you’re both adventurous and want to spend this time doing something unique, here are some excellent ideas.
For a honeymoon that will take you on an emotional journey as much as a physical one, walking the Camino de Santiago is hard to match. This trip involves getting from your chosen starting point to Santiago de Compostela by foot, walking 20-30 kilometers each day. It’s a physically taxing experience that is highly rewarding.
Doing it together as a couple makes it even more rewarding, as you tackle the challenges as a team, supporting each other along the way. Camino also provides the perfect environment for meaningful conversations or comfort in silence, further deepening your connection.
A road trip offers freedom like no other, as you can make spontaneous decisions along the way. There are many iconic destinations for road trips, such as the United States Route 66 and the scenic Pacific Coast Highway, or Iceland’s infamous Ring Road. Both of these destinations are home to breathtaking nature, including waterfalls, glaciers, mountains, deserts and volcanoes.
A honeymoon spent road tripping is all about navigating the roads together and choosing your own detours. It means finding romance in the unexpected, as you wake up each day unsure of where it will take you!
Instead of just seeing a new place, you could learn a new skill together. Perhaps you’ve both always wanted to learn surfing, but never had the chance for it. So, why not center your honeymoon around that?
For instance, book a beginner-friendly surfing camp in Sri Lanka, where you can not only try a new water sport, but also enjoy the beaches and explore the local safaris on your days off. Such a holiday is full of fun and adrenaline, which you’ll get to share and make lifelong memories…
Similarly, if you are both foodies, you could focus your honeymoon on the local cuisine. A trip to Italy could include joining a few cooking classes, where you will learn how to make a traditional paella or a pizza from scratch. And, you can use these skills when hosting your friends and family in your shared home in the future!
For some couples, the adventure is in the novelty. There are lots of different destinations where you can stay in truly incredible hotels. In Turkey, for example, you can sleep in a luxurious cave hotel, whereas in the Maldives, there is a hotel located 16 feet below sea level. If you want a full digital detox, you may find a remote, off-grid cabin in the middle of the mountains. These unconventional stays will transform any honeymoon into a story you will tell your grandkids.
A honeymoon should be as unique as your relationship! Whether it’s soaking up the sun on a yacht or going on an epic hiking trip, do whatever best represents you as a couple.
