Looking for honeymoon ideas after the exhilaration, stress and high-running emotions of saying ‘I do’? I recommend ihree of our most popular newlywed destinations: Croatia, Malta or Cyprus. They boast luxurious yet cosy hotels, romantic gourmet dining experiences and stunning settings. Better yet, these three resorts all strive to make your first trip as a married couple extra special, providing you with additional perks, free upgrades and bride-and-groom holiday packages.
Hotel Croatia – Croatia
Nestled on a hillside just outside of the Croatian town of Cavtat, this five-star hotel boasts a relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. Indulge in a Thai or Chinese couple’s massage or relax in a saltwater pool at the Energy Clinic before sharing a romantic tete-a-tete in the resort’s highly-acclaimed Spinaker Restaurant. With lush vegetation blooming in the surrounding area and a lovely waterfront promenade, you can also enjoy strolling hand-in-hand along the shore and admire the stone houses and slender streets of Cavtat as you make your way along the winding path.
As a newlywed perk, fresh flowers and sparkling wine will be waiting for you in your luxurious room upon arrival.
The Hotel Phoenicia – Malta
Other honeymoon ideas include this fivestar hotel. The colonial-era building contains a wealth of history within its walls. Just a short 500m away from Valletta, it is the ideal choice for culture-lovers who want to discover the town’s intricate history as a couple. From your room with a balcony, you can toast to the many years of happiness to come and watch the sky turn from blue to pink as the sun sets behind the Grand Harbour of Valetta. The hotel also offers spacious and carefully tended garden, a serene spot for a romantic stroll out of the sun.
To celebrate tying the knot, you can book a honeymoon package and receive a room upgrade at no additional cost, as well as mouth-watering pastries and sparkling wine when you check in.
Anassa – Cyprus
Set in the peaceful region of North West Cyprus, the grand Anassa hotel is just a couple of kilometres outside of the Cypriot town of Latchi. Offering a quiet retreat away from other crowded and noisy areas, this resort is a haven of delightful gardens and awe-inspiring views of the Akamas Peninsula. It also boasts excellent gourmet dining experiences, with romantic wine tasting, delicious private barbecues and intimate cocktail classes.
As a special gift to honeymooners, you will enjoy an on-the-house candlelit dinner in the intimate Helios restaurant. Fresh flowers, sparkling wine and a juicy fruit basket will also be waiting for you in your room as a special welcome gift. If possible, the resort will even give you a room upgrade free of charge.
You’ve probably been brainstorming honeymoon ideas for a while now. Croatia, Malta and Cyprus are all terrific romantic destinations that a offer peaceful atmosphere and a beautiful setting. Any one of them would be a great place for newlyweds to go and celebrate their commitment to one another. Besides, who doesn’t love a few bride-and-groom perks?
