Italy or Thailand? Honeymoon ideas for both
Honeymoon in ItalyIf you"re getting married in the British summer, a honeymoon in a hot European destination is a good choice if you want to avoid long flights and tiring jet lag. Italy is a popular romantic destination for honeymoons, with many luxury hotels in a variety of places тЂ“ be it rolling hills or lake-side hot-spots. The fashionable Amalfi Coast is a top choice in Italy for its spectacular coastlines, rugged cliffs, cascades of brightly coloured houses, lemon groves and olive trees on terraced hillsides, all tumbling down to an aquamarine sea.
In the coastal town of Positano, luxurious Hotel Caruso sits 365m above sea level with some spectacular views over the Sorrento Peninsular. Other romantic hideaways in Italy include Villa Spalletti Trivelli in Rome, JK Place in Florence or Villa La Massa in Tuscany.
And then there"s Venice in Italy, the city of love on water. Romance is a-plenty here, and it"s worth combining a honeymoon visit here with a journey across the water to the bright blue waters of Croatia. An itinerary for Italy and Croatia like this can be perfect for a honeymoon that"s eventful from beginning to end.
The leading tour operators for a honeymoon in Italy include: Cognoscenti, Citalia, Sovereign and Scott Dunn.
Honeymoon in Thailand
If you want to venture a little further for your honeymoon, why not elope to Thailand for love in the Far East. A popular honeymoon retreat in Thailand is the Six Senses Yao Noi. Situated on a small island in Phang Nga Bay, Six Senses Yao Noi boasts 56 villas, each with its own private infinity edge pools and open-air bathrooms for the ultimate in romantic luxury.
Upmarket tour operator Scott Dunn is offering 2 complimentary nights with every 5 nights for all their bookings at Six Senses Yao Noi. However, if lying on the beach in Thailand doesn"t tempt you for your honeymoon, why not ride elephants at Anantara Golden Triangle in Chiang Rai followed by a stay at The Peninsula Bangkok for a spot of shopping.
Other leading tour operators for a honeymoon in Thailand include: Abercrombie & Kent, Bales Worldwide and Kuoni.
