Tips for planning your honeymoon

We have selected some tips for you to plan your honeymoon without scares and with as few unforeseen events as possible.

1. Agree: as much as you have a perfect tune, you probably don’t have exactly the same tastes. Therefore, agree on the destination and the itinerary of the trip. Set aside a day or two for shopping, for example, but it’s also important to include outings that your partner enjoys, and especially those that the two of you enjoy together.
2. Don’t follow the majority: honeymoon, as a rule, is synonymous with the beach. But if you don’t like the sun and the sea that much, how about thinking of a destination with the couple’s face? It can be a historic city, a destination in the midst of nature with adventure activities or a destination full of gastronomic options.
3. Choose a destination: many people like to visit several cities and even nearby countries in a few days. However, in addition to getting tiring, there will be very little time left for you to enjoy together.
4. Plan ahead: we know you’ll have a thousand things to organize for your wedding, but no trip is done without planning.

Nothing too complicated, is it? With simple tips you can make a perfect trip that will make you feel like you are in a romance movie!

What to do on the honeymoon?

The honeymoon is the time for you and your – now – husband/wife to enjoy doing whatever they like. Plan a script that doesn’t need to be plastered, but that will give you a sense of time and those things you can’t help but do.

• Rest: Yes, you will be exhausted after so much preparation for the wedding, so it is interesting, perhaps, to set aside the first day to just rest.
• Sightseeing: plan in advance the places and tourist attractions you want to visit, preferably in an itinerary. Some cities have many options and it is important to have some defined tours, because at the last minute you may end up not having time.
• Breakfast: Breakfast at a hotel is already a delight, on honeymoon, so it’s almost mandatory. Enjoy this moment without haste!
• Gastronomy: explore the local gastronomy, discover restaurants, cafes and bars.
• Hydromassage: take advantage of the hotel’s bathtub to enjoy a hydromassage with your love, without any rush.
• Massages: doing and receiving a massage is a great option to relax and enjoy the moments together with great affection.
• Love night: plan a movie love night, complete with candles, flowers and sparkling wine!
• Sleep: It may seem like an odd tip, but you should take a few moments to rest. Take the opportunity to wake up later in a few days.

The journey is yours! Do what you want but without forgetting that the sentimental value of the honeymoon is unique. What memories do you want to have of these special days?

The honeymoon is undoubtedly a moment that will be marked forever in the life of the couple. Plan this trip with great care and enjoy it as much as possible to have good stories to tell in the future.
