What to look for in the perfect honeymoon destination

Wedding planning is a moment of joy for two lovebirds, but it also can bring stress for many couples. Even though the pair are picking details of one of the most memorable events in a lifetime, they are absorbed in tough decisions and arrangements to be made for the special day.

That is why finding a perfect honeymoon destination can certainly add happiness and fulfilment after such stressful months ahead of the wedding. Think about it: your honeymoon is something to look forward to after a hectic period of planning and waiting.

Once you arrive at your newly-wed destination, you should feel that all that hard work has paid off, and you two will finally have some time to relax and be immersed in each other. A place where you can just be.

How to choose a honeymoon destination

When choosing your destination, here are a few questions that will help you make your decision:

  • Would you like to travel abroad?
  • Are there airport hubs to make travelling easier?
  • What should a perfect honeymoon look like?
  • What would you like to do at your honeymoon destination?
  • How many days should a honeymoon trip last?
  • What’s the ideal budget?

There are no right or wrong answers to these questions, but it really helps to plan a trip ahead, and it inspires a real connection between you and your loved one. This is a moment to feel absolutely happy, the greatest step you both took.

For instance, Waiheke Island is only a 40-minute ferry ride or 10-minute helicopter flight from Auckland, where the international airport gets direct flights from many United States cities, including Los Angeles and Houston.

What kind of couple are you?

Also, it’s just as important to consider the kind of couple you are and the things that would add memories to your honeymoon trip:

  • Are you looking for outdoor activities, like horseback riding, and water sports, like kayaking?
  • Would you like to share a walk or hike with each other?
  • Are you the romantic type who would love a decorated honeymoon villa?
  • Would you like to have a picnic on a private beach?
  • Would you like to go to wine tastings and top restaurants?

The possibilities above are what make Waiheke Island a top destination for couples. No wonder many couples turn to honeymoon villas here for such celebration, for they are memorable and provide all the comfort and abundance newly-weds should enjoy.
