Honeymoon like the celebs for a fraction of the cost thanks to the team at GoHop.ie who are talking us through some of the best options around! Check them out below…
They have the lives we all dream of. The overly-expensive cars, the designer dresses and holiday homes around the globe. Celebrities seem to have it all, especially when it comes to weddings and honeymoons. Unfortunately, we don’t all have the big pay checks to match extravagant celebrity weddings. However, you can honeymoon like the stars for only a fraction of the price.
1. Prince William & Kate Middleton
Location: Republic of Seychelles | Days: 10 | Price: €860,970
After the royal wedding, the Prince and Kate snuck off to the Seychelles islands for a romantic honeymoon. Located off the coast of east Africa, the two lovebirds spent 10 days at the elusive North Island Resort for an estimated €860,970. Renting out the entire resort to secure ultimate privacy, the couple were able to enjoy all the amenities such as the spa, private beaches, and boating excursions. Truly a honeymoon fit for a king.
Location: Seychelles | Days: 7 | Price: €2,429
Find your own private beaches and enjoy the luxury of seclusion just like the Royals. Mahe is the biggest island in the Republic of Seychelles, and where the luxurious 5-star Spa Village of Constance is situated. You can spend your time swimming with turtles or rent your own private catamaran to discover untouched islands. Just be careful of the paps mistaking you for a celebrity while out at sea!
2. Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel
Location: Tanzania | Days: 7 | Price: €1 million
This jet-setting couple started off their nuptials with an extravagant wedding in Italy before heading off to the exotic Tanzania. Justin and Jessica spent their honeymoon at the luxurious Sasakwa Lodge where they explored the surrounding wildlife via game drives and hot air balloon rides. The week-long honeymoon is rumoured to have cost the married couple around €1 million, so we can only imagine how much was spent on the couple’s Italian wedding. Can’t stop the feeling of being jealous of these two lovebirds!
Location: Tanzania | Days: 9 | Price: €3,350
What’s better than watching the sunset over giraffes grazing on some trees? Doing it for pennies in comparison to Timberlake and Biel! On safari drives across the Serengeti, you’ll see everything from leopards and cheetahs to zebras and elephants. When on honeymoon in Tanzania, you can’t not take a trip over to the beach island of Zanzibar. The Hideaway of Nungwi Resort & Spa in Zanzibar holds every spa treatment thinkable to help you completely de-stress after all your wedding planning.
3. Stacey Ferguson & Josh Duhamel
Location: Maldives | Days: 7 | Price: €20,000
Black-Eyed Peas singer, Fergie, and her husband, Josh Dahumel, stepped out of the spotlight on their honeymoon for a stint at the One and Only Reethi Rah Hotel in the magical Maldives. Made up of over 1,000 coral islands, the Maldives is located in the Indian Ocean and can only be reached by boat. The talented couple hired a butler for the week to prepare their private barbeque (and whatever else it is a butler might do!) while they snorkelled and paraglided around the unique islands. Bliss!
Location: Maldives | Days: 7 | Price: €2,299
The private Kuramathi Island is the one of the most breathtakingly beautiful resorts in the Maldives, as turquoise waters surround the overwater bungalows. On this honeymoon, you can experience adventure and relaxation all rolled into one, by diving with the hammerhead sharks one day to watching the sun set on a kayak tour the next. Although your own butler isn’t included in the package, you can still have your own lobster barbeque right beside the beach courtesy of the on-site restaurant.
