Two weeks sprawled out on a sun lounger is no longer cutting it, apparently, with Irish couples increasingly seeking out a more immersive honeymoon experience. Award winning travel consultant, Tropical Sky is responding to this demand through an expanded portfolio of experiential holidays offering a more meaningful and memorable honeymoon.
Choosing your honeymoon destination can be a stressful decision for a lot of Irish couples – many want it to be a once in a lifetime trip, yet still realistically affordable and achievable after your Big Day! We’re feeling the glum of January today and thought maybe you (and us!) could do with a little sunshine and adventure so take a look at these three incredible honeymoon ideas.
Borneo Jungle & Beach Experience
This once-in-a-lifetime trip offers the chance to see orangutans in their natural habitat. The 10-night itinerary includes a leisurely stay on the Kinabatangan River, with boat safaris at sunrise and sunset ensuring maximum wildlife viewing. You’ll hardly be slumming it, however, as the adventure continues with five nights at the Gaya Island Resort, a tropical, eco-luxury paradise with private villas nestled into mangrove forests and its very own spa village.
Cost & duration: 10 nights including flights, accommodation and transfers from €1,999pp.
Elephant Hills Experience, Thailand
This, the ultimate Thai getaway, kicks off with five nights’ relaxation on the tranquil beaches of Khao Lak. Then it’s on to the Khao Sok National Park for an unforgettable couple of days spent canoeing, jungle trekking and helping take care of elephants at Elephant Hills Rainforest Camp. The stay ends with five nights on the idyllic island of Koh Samui. This holiday can be tailor-made according to your honeymoon budget, with Platinum accommodation options available. The price includes flights, accommodation and transfers.
Cost & duration: 12-night multi-centre holiday from €1,819pp.
Arrive as a Tourist, Leave as a Traveller in Mexico
Honeymoon traditionalists can still enjoy a resort-based holiday while experiencing local culture at the UNICO 20°87°, Riviera Maya. The hotel’s unique ‘arrive as a tourist, leave as a traveller’ philosophy lends itself to cultural experiences including mezcal tastings, cooking classes and cocktail hour in a nearby Mayan village. Meanwhile, the resort is tastefully decked out in rustic decor, beautifully handcrafted using local and natural materials.
Cost & duration: 7 nights’ all-inclusive including flights and transfers from €1,809pp.
