Unique Honeymoon Ideas

Modern weddings are often so exciting and have a variety of themes that the period after this, traditionally the honeymoon, can at times border on the mundane.  Taking two weeks holiday to lay on the beach in Mexico or sit around the pool in Greece just isn’t the same as it used to be. With the wedding being a more memorable occasion than ever before, it is time to change up the honeymoon ideas, too, so it feels like an extension of one’s big day rather than a big let-down or an anti-climax.

Just what are the best unique honeymoon ideas for 2013?

Taking a Drive

If sitting around and relaxing isn’t for you, then why not consider taking a driving holiday instead? Whether you head to mainland Europe and take in some of the world’s most beautiful cities, or take a trip to explore the natural beauty of somewhere like Australia or New Zealand, taking yourself where you want to go will give you a new and exciting window on the world around you.

Start your married life with a fun trip, but this time be in control over where you go, and when you go there.

Camping Holidays

Everyone associates a honeymoon with luxury and indulgence, which normally means booking a five-star hotel and having champagne breakfasts from the comfort of your private balcony.

It doesn’t always have to be like that, however, as fun as that sounds. While camping may see you get a little muddier and have fewer ‘luxuries,’ things such as champagne picnics and dinner below the stars are just two of the possibilities for adding romance.

You could even book something like a bubble tent, which is basically a giant air-filled ball that comes with a bed, attractive rugs, and other pieces of furniture tailored to your requirements.

Get Active

At the extreme end of the scale you could always turn your honeymoon into an adventure style holiday. Think about any hobbies you and your partner have, or think of something that you might like to start doing together. If you did something such as kayaking in New Zealand or surfing in Australia, for example, you could couple that with the opportunity to experience some of the world’s most stunning natural beauty.

On the other side of the world, somewhere such as the Italian Dolomites offers everything from skiing and mountain hiking to fishing and cycling.

Ensure your honeymoon is anything but mundane; find something to put a unique slant on your early days as a married couple, and make it something you will both remember forever.
