Whilst the typical honeymoon to a Greek island or the Maldives is a favourite amongst newlyweds – have you ever considered somewhere a little more off the beaten track? These honeymoon gems will certainly have you reconsidering your decision…
Carate, Costa Rica
Start your mornings together with some tranquil yoga to awaken your body and soul or take a gratifying hike to discover the striking and gorgeous landscape that is Carate. It can be reached via a short, but pleasant, boat trip to Caño Island and is located close to Corcovado National Park – the ideal place to explore the neighbouring rainforests, dive on the flourishing coral reefs abundant in thriving sea life, and trek the nearby waterfalls and wading pools. You can have the adventure of a lifetime as you begin married life together. Nothing brings people closer than new experiences and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
Sapa, Vietnam
The ethnically diverse Vietnamese town will submerge you in culture and surround you with the lush terraced paddy fields and Hoang Lien Son Mountains. Visit Bac Ha Market on a Sunday morning, which is a jeep trip away, to see trading at its peak. The town is completely accessible by walking and the majority of its population is made up from Hill Tribes known as Hmong, Dao, and Tay and they are exceptionally welcoming towards tourists. So if you’re looking for a more cultural experience and alternative breathtaking views of the layered rice fields, unlike anything you have ever seen, then this is the perfect honeymoon destination for you and your other half.
