A Guest Blog by Travel Counsellor – Eve Moir
So you’re up to the stage of Wedding Planning where your attention has turned to the Honeymoon… but where to begin?
With so many fabulous places to choose from, different destinations and resorts, not to mention planning your transfers, excursions and making sure to find out about all the must-see places while you’re there… it can be such a huge task on top of all your already hectic wedding planning schedule!
So why not get in touch with a professional?
Enter Eve… a FABULOUS and down-to-earth travel counsellor!
I met Eve back in 2016, not long before I got engaged! As soon as Hubby & I started Honeymoon planning we knew we needed expert advice… we messaged Eve and she was only too happy to help!
She was brilliant from the word ‘go’ and made everything so easy for us … she quickly put together a Honeymoon Itinerary at the click of her fingers. Not only did she plan the whole thing for us, but she was there for us throughout our whole Honeymoon , in case there were an issues or if we needed assistance. It was SO reassuring to have someone there for you whilst travelling through different countries.
I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough and I tell all of my friends about her… so when it came to doing a Blog on Honeymoons, I knew immediately that I wanted to share her with all of you lovely Brides & Grooms, so that you too can have the Honeymoon of your Dreams!
I’ll hand you over to the lovely lady herself for some seriously swoon-worthy Honeymoon inspiration…
Now you’ve got the amazing The Wedding Taylor in your corner, your next, and in my humble opinion, most important, job has to be planning the perfect Honeymoon!
This is one of the most fulfilling parts of what I do as a Personal Travel Counsellor, I LOVE crafting you your very own perfect bespoke itinerary, whether you’re on a budget or are looking for the ultimate in luxury…
I can make your honeymoon dreams come true!
But the big question is, where in the world should you go? For me, this is very much down to you guys, the couple in question and your wants and needs, your likes and dislikes and all of the boxes you would like ticked. Over the last year, despite the horrific situation we have gone through, I have arranged some truly awesome Honeymoons for future brides and grooms, that fingers crossed, all still look to be going ahead later this year.
I have so many many many ideas for you! My favourites to give you some inspiration on how diverse we can be with yours, include:
1. Thailand
A stunning multi-centre trip around Thailand, including the fantastic Elephant Hills (if you’ve never seen EH, check it out HERE), a day trip on a longtail boat, an evening dinner cruise, cocktails on the beach under the stars, speedboating to the islands, a stay in incredible 5 star luxury, right on the beach, with a swim up private pool….
2. Tanzania & Zanzibar
Or there’s the out of this world and truly unique safari in Tanzania combined with a relaxing beach stay in Zanzibar – take it from me, this one is a once in a lifetime experience, and not the overly expensive trip you might think it is… Find out for yourself HERE.
3. Cuba
Or, there’s the twin centre in Cuba taking in old Havana for a few nights (click HERE) then onto the perfect all inclusive experience in Varadero… (click HERE).
4. Road Trip Across America
I even have couples doing a road trip across America in a Cadillac, (Find out more HERE)
5. New York City
and a super-exciting romantic New York city break Honeymoon planned too! I get so excited organising a lovely itinerary for my clients of everything they choose to see and do whilst in New York, as well as the usual must-sees such as the Empire State Building, Ground Zero, the Brooklyn Bridge etc., I will add in lots of extra exciting stuff that you just can’t miss, directions on how to get to places like the Friends building and other famous iconic places from movies and TV shows, the must-dos when you’re in particular areas, and really personalise it to my clients wish list! (Click HERE).
6. Maldives
We could pick the perfect Over Water Villa in the Maldives. For the ultimate in luxury, my favourite resort right now is the Anantara Veli Maldives. Honeymooners can take advantage of private candlelit dining, a day on a private island, couples treatments at the spa and the most stunning over water villa options to choose from. Looking for your own private plunge pool and direct lagoon access? This place is perfect! (Take a look HERE).
7. Greece
or a Swim Up Room in Greece…. Stella Island on the island of Crete is my favourite hotel in Greece. An adults only hotel with Private Pool Villas, Grand Overwater Bungalows with Jacuzzi, Over Water Bungalows and Premium Swim Up Rooms you are literally spoilt for choice and will experience a truly unforgettable Honeymoon! (HERE’s the link!)
8. Mauritius
or Mauritius! Looking for a romantic hideaway where only grown-ups are allowed? VICTORIA’S exclusive couples’ wing could be the perfect answer. Nestled in tropical gardens and set along an unspoiled stretch of beach, Victoria for 2 is the Adults Only section of the resort. Exclusively reserved for adults only, the complex has 23 Ocean View Rooms and 17 Swim-Up Rooms offering the perfect setting for you to reconnect and spend precious time together. It is paradise! (See for yourself HERE!)
9. Italy
You could travel by rail around Italy, taking in all those beautiful places you see on Insta 😉. I don’t know about you but this one is on my own bucket list. Take the train from Milan and make your way to stunning Naples, visiting Venice, Florence and Rome on your way. Stay in gorgeous boutique hotels, sample the local cuisine and make memories that will last forever! (See more HERE).
10. Borneo
How about seeking out the wildlife in Borneo? (Have a look HERE)
11. Peru
Do the Inca Trail! A truly awe inspiring trek through rugged meadows, to hidden valleys surrounded by snowy peaks to high mountain passes. Walk through hamlets, cactus gardens, and fields of corn, visiting different magnificent Inca ruins along the trek culminating at the phenomenal Machu Picchu. Peaceful, calm & quiet; unbelievable and breath taking in more ways than one! (HERE’s the link!)
12. Ibiza
or go clubbing in Ibiza….For a romantic sunset experience, you can’t beat Ibiza. Sunsets on Ibiza are pretty spectacular and without doubt some of the best the Mediterranean has to offer. Each location and each day is unique, so when you go for the magical time when day turns into night, you can expect your own little miracle to take place! (Click HERE for more info!)
