Honeymoon Planning
Tips & Advice
Your honeymoon isn’t just another holiday—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip to celebrate the start of your life together.
The key is getting the balance right: romantic, memorable, and completely stress-free.
Here’s my expert advice to help you plan the perfect honeymoon.
Choosing the Right Destination
The best honeymoon destination depends on what kind of couple you are.
For total relaxation:
- Maldives
- Mauritius
- Seychelles
For adventure + beaches:
- Thailand
- Costa Rica
For culture + romance:
- Italy
- Japan
My tip:
Think about how you want to feel on your honeymoon—not just where you want to go.
📅 When to Book Your Honeymoon
- Timing matters more than most couples realise.
- Book 6–12 months in advance for long-haul destinations
- Travel just after your wedding = best availability
- Consider shoulder seasons for better value and fewer crowds
My tip:
The earlier you book, the more perks you can secure (upgrades, better rooms, flight options).
🏝️ Choosing the Right Type of Honeymoon
All-inclusive luxury
- Stress-free, everything paid upfront
- Ideal for relaxing after a busy wedding
Multi-centre honeymoon
- Combine destinations (e.g. city + beach)
- Great for couples who want variety
Adventure honeymoon
- Safari, hiking, exploring
- Perfect if you don’t like sitting still
My tip:
A mix (e.g. explore + relax) is often the perfect balance.

💬 My Personal Advice
I always tell my honeymoon couples:
“This is one trip where you won’t regret upgrading.”
Whether that’s the hotel, the room, or the flights—it’s worth making it special.
✈️ Let Me Plan It For You
Planning a honeymoon can feel like another job on top of your wedding.
I help couples:
- Choose the perfect destination
- Find the right hotel for their style
- Add special touches that make the trip unforgettable
Not all destinations are perfect year-round—and choosing the right time to travel can make or break your honeymoon. (see the section: Tips & Advice for more details on this!)

💡 Getting the Most Value
Honeymoons don’t have to mean overspending—but they are worth doing properly.
Ways to maximise value:
- Ask about honeymoon perks (free upgrades, dinners, spa treatments)
- Use a honeymoon fund instead of traditional gifts
- Travel slightly off-peak
My tip:
Many hotels offer extras only if they know it’s your honeymoon—so always mention it.
🛏️ Picking the Perfect Hotel
This is where your honeymoon is really made.
Look for:
- Adults-only or quiet areas
- Private pools or sea views
- High-quality dining
- Unique experiences (overwater villas, jungle lodges, etc.)
My tip:
The room you choose matters more on a honeymoon than any other trip.
⚠️ Common Honeymoon Mistakes
Trying to do too much (you’ll be tired after the wedding)
- Booking somewhere in the wrong season
- Choosing price over experience
- Not checking transfer times (long journeys can ruin the vibe)
