Hello, we're getting married next year and have no idea where to go on honeymoon. We've got quite a good budget for it it's just making that final decision.
My other half wants to follow the Tour de France for three weeks but I don't really want to go camping on my honeymoon so need something extraordinary to try and persuade him to do something else!
Help!

If that's really what he wants then comprimise - allow him 1 week of the tour as long as you get one week in a chic hotel in Paris and one week at the beach in St Tropez :happy:0

Congratulations. Can highly recommend Canada and the Rocky Mountains, particularly Lake Louise. The mountain scenery is just awesome...blue sky, towering trees and majestic mountains....what could be more romantic!0

My friends just did a South African safari and loved it. No camping - they stayed at amazing resorts.0

Are y'all into outdoors-y stuff or would a chill, relaxing location be more your style? It really depends on what kind of vacations y'all usually take.
You could look into a cruise...I know Royal Caribbean goes pretty much almost everywhere these days.0 -
My hubby surprised me with our honeymoon in his speech at the wedding last year. It was........................
A Cruise on The Queen Victoria in the Princess Grill on Cunard!! it was BLISSFUL!! we went on around the Med i have NEVER known relaxation quite like it before and you have Formal nights where you wear dinner suit and ball gown and semi formal which is suit and smart dress and then casual it's the best holiday and i would LOVE to do it again!!
If you have any questions on this i would be happy to answer them! xx
I hope you have a lovely time what ever you decide to do! xx0 -

I'd like somewhere where he can go off and do stuff and I can relax on a beach... our friends who are getting married the month before us are going to Paris so I don't want to go there! I want to be unique...0 -

I like the idea of this, thanks.0 -
we did Cancun and loved it! We've also been to Germany. I would say it just depends on what kind of trip you want to have...fun in the sun or sightseeing, etc. Congrats on the wedding!0

I agree with the cruise idea. My husband and I have been on 10 cruises so far and they are amazing and relaxing.0

Australia!!!! I live here and it's great!!! That's the only thing i need to say about Australia because it is so good. I mean have you ever heard of someone going back home saying "oh Australia was crap" no you don't and if you have... they were lying lol!!0

Lol I've been to Oz and loved it, would like to go back one day. Maybe New Zealand would be an idea?? Is that swearing at you?
My other half would most DEFINITELY not like to go on a cruise, in his eyes that would be the worst thing to do!!0 -
My daughter went to Sweden and absolutely loved it. The first few days they were on an island off the coast of Sweden and they said everyone was very friendly there. Then they went to the capital for a few days.0

We went to Sandals Negril, Jamaica for a week. I didn't want to leave. There are excursions you can do. We went to the world famous, Ric's Cafe - went cliff diving. As an all-inclusive, you don't have to worry about money the entire time you are there. Food, alcohol & entertainment are all included... you could literally order a drink and dump it on the ground then order another- just because you can! Every night they have different types of entertainment - bands, beach party, talent show, Jamaica night... Canoeing, scuba diving -if you're certified (if not, they offer PADI certifiication!), Hobie Cats, kayaking, snorkeling, aqua trike, pedal boats, golf, tennis, volleyball, ping pong, pool... all included. You will NEVER have a dull moment. They actually have people on staff to keep you entertained. They have a spa at each resort as well as a 5 star restaurant. You can have a candlelit dinner in a gazebo by the ocean with your own personal butler. It's amazing - can't say enough god about it.
I miss it. We are going back for our 2nd anniversary!!

If you are getting married in the summer, I would recommend staying in the Sleeping Bear Dunes/Old Mission Peninsula area of Michigan. The scenery is spectacular, there are a lot of active things to do: biking, swimming, kayaking and exploring the wineries. You will have your pick of many beautiful condos and bed and breakfasts. If you are getting married in the winter, Hawaii is a popular honeymoon destination and you certainly wouldn't be disappointed.0

My fiance and I are planing on going to a Sandals resort. They have all inclusive packages where you can have a butler for the time you are there, in room massages, and private pools outside your room. There are many locations they offer this too! Check them out!0

this is such a lovely happy conversation
some of our close friends got married in june and went on a safari in south africa for 5 days and then headed off to mauritius which they loved (although wasn't perfect weather as time of year was not good!)!
how about carribean? or me and my boyfriend have booked to go to thailand in novemeber *so excited* looks amazing and seems to cater for everyone. i am quite an active person, i want to do elephant treks and quad biking but then i also want the peaceful and relaxing beach front all inclusive resort and amazing food - thailand seems to offer all this!
all depends on your time of year really and a compromise between you and your fiance's 'perfect holiday' 0 -
Venice is said to be very lovely, i haven't been but everyone i know who has gone has recommended it. Likewise with Vienna, Salzburg, and (i think) anywhere carribean.
Following the Tour de France does NOT sound like a honeymoon!0 -
First of all congrats on your up and coming wedding
I went to Mauritius, Belle Mare Plage a couple of years ago for my honeymoon and it was paradise, everything I could have dreamed of, all the staff treated me like a princess for the whole 2 weeks, couldn't fault them.
The Island is small enough as well to drive all the way round, we hired a jeep for a few days and saw everything we wanted to see and also did a couple of boat excursions which were amazing.
Jumeira Beach in Dubai is fantastic too for something a bit more lively
Good luck in finding your own piece of paradise, a whole world out there to choose from
Hope all goes well for you and your future husband :flowerforyou:0 -
If you like hiking, snorkeling and being on a beach that isn't touristy check out St. John in the USVI. It truly is paradise. There are resorts there or you can book a nice cottage or stay at a B&B. There are a lot of really nice places to eat and lower end places. No fast food chains around. It's an amazing place. If you need any info just send me a message.0

Maui!!!! Went there this summer and it was amazing. The "road to Hana" was amazing. You can hike, shop, swim, watch the sunrise from the summit of a dormant volcano, snorkel, surf, etc. This Islam is less commercialized than Oahu. It is gorgeous!!! We had a condo that was 25 ft from the sea wall and we listened to the waves all night.0

Now there's an idea, we could do a couple of weeks in Canada then quite easily go to Hawaii for a week of chilling!0 -
Congratulations :happy: :flowerforyou:
We did New York, Vegas, San Fran and Maui for 3 weeks which we loved....a couple of weeks to do all the touristy, busy stuff then a week in Maui to relax - amazing!
I went to New Zealand a few years back too which was fantastic, I spent a month on the North Island and would love to go back and do the South too.
Have a fantastic time whatever you decide to do xx 0 -

Thank you! We went to New York for my birthday in January (total surprise Christmas present) then we had a surprise trip to Niagara Falls (we drove for 7 hours to get there from New York, I thought I was going home but he surprised me at the airport by hiring a car!) and he proposed to me in a revolving restaurant overlooking Niagara Falls - it was absolutely awesome!! :happy:0 -
Hey,
Congratulations :flowerforyou:
One of my good friends has just come back from his honeymoon in Thailand, and loved it! Loads of amazing beaches to relax and chill out, & lots of different places to visit and exciting things to do - it's on my holiday list for one day far in the future!! :happy:
Wherever you end up going, have a fantastic time, and I wish you both the most wonderful wedding xx0 -
The Maldives - I am pretty sure that comes very high on 'top honeymoon destinations' lists.
Personally I'd love to do something like a week in San Fran, a few days in Vegas and then 10 days in Hawaii but closer to the UK I love the Amalfi coast. Also Santorini and Kefalonia.
Cuba was also amazing!0 -

Wow, what a wonderful proposal!! My hubby proposed to me in a hotel room on our anniversary as it was winter and freezing and i kept ruining all his plans! (without knowing obviously!!)
Regarding the Cruise thing, my hubby wasn't a fan as he gets sea sick, but it's such a huge ship you don't really feel any thing, and you get to see multiple countries all in one go. But it's not for everyone. Where i thought we were going was to Malaysia and then some remote beach in Fiji or something! or Kuala Lumpur.
So exciting planning this stuff! Have you sorted much wedding stuff out yet? x0 -

The venue is booked, the photographer, the videographer, nearly got the sashes etc booked, first wedding dress fitting is October, bridesmaids dresses and shoes are bought... I'm pretty much on with it really. I'm making my own wedding invitations with a friend and need to get on with them!
Very exciting!0 -
Thailand! Absolutely amazing! Or China! Also very stunning! AND CHEAP!!!!!!!!
If you go to Thailand you can do what I did and get $20 tickets to Malaysia and Singapore and make stops to those countries!0 -
