Couples tend to plan their wedding down to the last detail, and they can give the same care and foresight to the honeymoon as well. After all, a honeymoon is the start of your shared life journey with your significant other.
Make your honeymoon memorable by going beyond the destination. Create high-impact memories that you will fondly look back on for decades to come.
Invest in a Professional Photoshoot
A professional photoshoot is a great way to capture this once-in-a-lifetime event in your lives. Professional photos capture emotions and scenery with an artistic twist that can be hard to replicate with a smartphone alone. Professional couple photos are no longer the stiff, awkward images of the past. These days, photographers specialize in candid, in-between moments when people are sharing a laugh, or they can be highly stylized shoots.
You can find inspiration on Pinterest, depending on the style you want. You can do dark and moody, cinematic, documentary-style, intimate, light and airy, artistic and everything in between. The photographer can tag along on an outing, such as a walk through the city or a hike to a waterfall, to capture authentic moments. After the photoshoot, you’ll have pictures you can hang or compile into an album. All these photos can boost dopamine levels as you look back on the memories.
2. Charter a Private Jet
Chartering a private jet is a truly unforgettable experience. There’s no better feeling than leaving chaos behind the reception and welcoming comfort in your own private lounge. Your cabin becomes another celebration place where you can relax, drink champagne and simply be together with your spouse. It’s also a huge logistics saver as you won’t have to worry about the hassles of connecting flights, lost luggage and crowded airports.
It sounds truly luxurious, but there are strategies that can make chartering a possibility. You can choose smaller jets or book one-way flights to save money while experiencing a unique opportunity on your way to the honeymoon destination.
3. Have Curated Adventures
Ditch the crowded bus and choose intimate experiences. Group tours may be efficient, but places can look more like a series of boxes to tick since you’re always rushing toward the next destination. On the other hand, private tours are memorable since they can be personalized to your liking. There are plenty of options for travelers of all kinds.
Cultural enthusiasts can go museum-hopping with an expert guide, while ocean lovers can rent a sailboat or catamaran for a day. For the ultimate travel trip for adventurers, simply bring a backpack 10% lighter than your body weight and hire a guide for a challenging hike. You get both safety and access to local knowledge of the best views.
4. Prioritize a Wellness Experience
Wellness practices such as Hatha yoga and deep breathing improve sleep quality and attention. That’s why you shouldn’t skip having a wellness experience on your honeymoon. It’s an ideal way to decompress and reconnect with each other after the busy wedding ceremony and reception. Ask the concierge for the ultimate relaxation experience — they would be more than happy to help you find the best places and score the best deals.
Besides yoga and a massage, you can also try other wellness activities such as a facial, hydrotherapy circuit, meditation sessions or even a private jacuzzi. For a more local experience, try participating in local wellness rituals such as a Mayan clay bath in Mexico. You can also try a traditional Onsen in Japan, which are reported to have health benefits due to their minerals like iron, sulfur and calcium.
