The honeymoon is your reward after a busy wedding, an event that can certainly bring a considerable amount of stress in the planning and execution. Many people opt for a simple beach vacation to relax and unwind as a couple, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But thinking outside of the box can be great, too, and potentially yield a bucket list-worthy trip of a lifetime.
Here are six unique honeymoon destinations to consider:
The Canadian Rockies
Combine luxury hotels with outdoor pursuits and incredible scenery, and this honeymoon spot makes for a great active vacation.
South Africa
Consider a safari in South Africa for a truly memorable experience that involves wildlife and luxury “glamping.”
New Zealand
There’s nothing like “adventure of a lifetime” material in the Southern Alps, with activities like backpacking and bungee jumping, to strengthen your bond. And, as a bonus, it is a great destination to visit from November to April, when the southern hemisphere experiences summer.
Spain
Thoroughly romantic and inexpensive as far as European countries go, Spain is a great pick for foodies.
Southern Utah and Northern Arizona
The dramatic and ever-changing landscape of this region makes it an easy choice for a honeymoon. Take a road trip through the region or pick a smaller area to explore on foot.
Patagonia
If you’re not having a summer wedding, and want a summery honeymoon, head to the far reaches of South America. Patagonia’s legendary scenery is worth considering.
