Honeymooning based on a couple’s shared interests, travel styles, and unique personalities is the perfect way to guarantee the two have the trip of a lifetime.
While prioritizing a nice resort can be rewarding, it shouldn’t be the only factor in honeymoon planning. Before even picking where you’ll stay, you’ll want to choose which destination will be the backdrop of your post-nuptial bliss. When planning your honeymoon based on interests, it’s most important to personalize the experience for both of you.
Below, scroll through honeymoon destination ideas based on a couple’s shared interests, travel styles, and individual personalities.
The Best Honeymoons For Every Kind Of Couple
For Foodies
Countless destinations could make ideal settings for a culinary adventure. That said, you and your partner should discuss whether you want to visit one place or multiple during your honeymoon. Also, do you want to be surrounded by cuisines and restaurants you’re unfamiliar with, or those where your palates will already be in their comfort zones?
Though it may be considered a non-traditional option for a honeymoon, Ethiopia can make for a vibrant post-wedding destination where you can sink into local cuisine. The country has rich customs and history related to coffee ceremonies, honey wine production, berbere spice blends (often a personalized mix of the cook or household), and Italian culinary influences. Lovebirds will definitely want to go on food tours and take cooking classes while there.
Stateside, an option highly worth considering is New Orleans, Louisiana. With Creole and Cajun cuisines at the heart of local flavors, taste buds are in for satiating, stick-to-your-ribs goodness. The city’s food scene offers a mix of longtime, must-visit dining establishments with contemporary, globally inspired offerings, so food options are anything but boring.
For Adventurous Types
Naturally, adventurous couples should choose a honeymoon location filled with exhilarating activities. Often, those destinations will also have stellar, breathtaking, unforgettable views.
Safari honeymoons in Tanzania, Botswana, or South Africa will bring you close to the world’s most awe-inspiring wildlife, while also calling on you to embrace nature in new and exciting ways. For a truly unique and out-of-the-box experience – if you and your significant other are open to cold weather – use your honeymoon to go on an exploratory expedition tour of Antarctica. While wandering the latter, expect to kayak the icy waters, go whale watching, visit penguins, and even camp out on the ice.
For Wellness Seekers
Revolving your honeymoon around wellness, optimal health, and longevity can be uniquely romantic and rewarding. After planning your wedding and tying the knot – marathon events for some couples – you can prioritize relaxation and being your best selves. In Blue Zones and destinations filled with wellness spas and activities, you’ll be easily set up to begin your marriage in a state of healthy, happy bliss.
For nature bathing and unplugging, choose a stay surrounded by Costa Rica’s jungle. If you’re interested in medical expertise combined with luxury experiences, pick a wellness resort in Switzerland. And if you’d like to visit a Blue Zone where you can easily balance romance, choose Sardinia, Italy, or Ikaria, Greece.
