It’s the most important vacation of your lives together. It’s the beginning of forever. It can also be the one thing you are looking forward to the most after spending a hectic year or more planning a fabulous wedding with all your family and friends. A time to kick back and relax and just enjoy each other and your beautiful surroundings.
But before you can begin planning this super awesome vacation together, you have to put some thought into it. This may be your first big compromise as newlyweds. Tropical or cold climate? Flip flops or hiking boots? Lounging by the pool all day, or scouring a new city for that perfect sidewalk café?
With over 20 years of experience planning honeymoons for our couples, we’ve put together a fun short list of the types of couples planning romantic vacations. See where you fit in….
Comfort Couple
These couples tend to choose honeymoons characterized less by the type of vacation than by the comfort and quality of the vacation. They know exactly what they want, whether it’s total relaxation or an active adventure.
- A typical Comfort Couple might want to take a 7-day honeymoon at a luxe all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean or Mexico where they can enjoy all the comforts of a luxury vacation without any hassle or inconvenience. Or a more adventurous couple might choose a spa resort in Hawaii or Costa Rica where they can indulge their sense of adventure but still enjoy pampering and comfortable accommodations.
Luxury Lovers
These couples want creature comforts and personal service and are willing to spare no expense to get what they want. They want high levels of service to match their high standards
- A typical Luxury Lover will span the globe looking for just the right destination. They also tend to appreciate unusual travel suggestions, especially those that people in their social circles have yet to experience. The Maldives and Bora Bora offer lots for this group to choose from.
Adventure Seekers
The excitement and joy provided by the adventure is what defines this honeymoon experience. Creature comfort, while important, is usually secondary to the adventure itself.
- An African safari honeymoon is always top of the list for our adventure honeymoons with romantic lodges in Costa Rica also making the list
Culture Lovers
These couples place a high priority on the cultural aspects of a honeymoon, such as ancient ruins, museums, architecture, cuisine and sightseeing.
- Packaged tours are good options for these honeymooners as they provide good value yet still offer enough independence most couples desire. Experienced international travelers might also want total independence and five-star hotels. Florence, Paris & Egypt are top destinations for our Culture Lovers.
