Say “I do” and take the booking plunge – these dreamy honeymoon destinations are primed for celebrating your love.
The knot is tied, the vows are spoken, and the cake is long gone – now it’s time for the happy couple to get a well-deserved break from the wedding bells. A honeymoon is a special trip for a special time and it warrants a trip around the world to special places. No need to debate between a beachy retreat, an adventurous excursion, or an awe-inspiring jaunt to parts unknown – these top Culture Trips will give your honeymoon all the variety, relaxation and excitement it deserves.
Discover South Africa’s wildlife, Winelands and the Garden Route
You won’t have to twist your partner’s arm to honeymoon in South Africa. Every experience on this jaw-dropping 11-day adventure – from wine tasting and Big Five safaris to kayaking with penguins – is worthy of any matrimony. You’ll get to explore mystical caves, seaside towns and a luscious national park en route to our final destination, a spectacular luxury game reserve. Our cosy lodges, with shared outdoor pool – sometimes shared with elephants as well as humans – is quite the place to toast a life of happiness ahead.
Go Greek island-hopping in the Cyclades
Don’t discard a Greek Isles cruise simply because it’s a popular honeymoon destination in Europe. Sure, this eight-day odyssey offers the chance to see the famed Acropolis and take the obligatory selfie in front of Santorini’s blue domes. But while other lovebirds head to Mykonos or Crete, the captain of your love boat will sail you to the pristine beaches of Naxos and the brightly painted Cycladic-style houses of Milos. It’s a bucket-list trip that delivers on the quintessential Greek island-hopping experience with a few happy surprises on the registry.
Find bliss on the beaches of Southern Thailand
You can’t go wrong with a little slice of coastal paradise after the madness of planning a wedding, but this 11-day trip allows you to explore the many bounties of Thailand as well as wind down on its gloriously pristine beaches. After experiencing the buzz of Bangkok you’ll head to the coast, where you can kayak through mangrove forests, swim with tropical fish and spot exotic birds on a longtail boat ride. You’ll even spend the night in a floating raft house – as romantic as you want it to be – go on a sunset cruise and barbecue, and spend three nights at a stunning secluded island resort, where Thai massages and days by the infinity pool are on the cards.
