No matter if you are yet to be married or have been for a while but were waiting for the coronavirus travel bans to be lifted, you might be looking for a honeymoon destination that is just right for you and your partner. However, if you’re looking for something a bit different from the usual city-exploring and beach-relaxing, you might want to consider some of the following ideas for a unique honeymoon in 2023.
Have a blindfolded dinner in the Maldives
For starters, if you don’t want to completely steer away from gorgeous beaches but still want to make this trip fun, you can consider visiting the Maldives. The crystal clear waters and eco-conscious resorts are sure to take your breath away. That being said, you can also choose to forgo your sight if you opt for the “Dining for the Senses” experience at the Gili Lankanfushi resort. Guests are invited to a secret spot to dine while blindfolded. By taking away this sense, your other ones will be heightened so you will enjoy a truly flavorful meal that you will never forget.
Discover some frogs at night in Costa Rica
Another location with stunning sights and pristine beaches is Costa Rica. If you ever get bored of just soaking up the sun and drinking tasty cocktails, you can also go on a frog scouting tour. Look into staying at Nayara Springs, in Arenal Volcano National Park, which offers visitors private villas and this type of activity. In addition to blue-jean frogs and red-eyed tree frogs at night, you’ll probably also see sloths and monkeys during the day.
Try river rafting in Jamaica
If you’re looking for an activity that will help you connect with nature, why not try river rafting in Jamaica? Montego Bay offers a honeymoon full of majestic food and sunbathing as well as interesting water activities. Booking a river rafting adventure down the Martha Brea River is a great option. You and your partner will board a 30-foot bamboo raft and enjoy an hour-long ride full of breathtaking sights and birdsong sounds while the marine life swims around you.
Get a boat charter in Turks & Caicos
Traveling to Turks & Caicos is another solid alternative that will result in an unforgettable honeymoon. The water that surrounds it and the oceanfront villas you can rent are truly one-of-a-kind. You can enjoy your privacy while still having a butler at your disposal and delicious meals on request. While there, you can also get a boat charter that will take you and your partner on a half- or full-day tour. Out on the water, you can also go swimming, diving, and snorkeling around the third biggest reef in the Caribbean, Fort George Reef.
Learn to play golf in Arizona
The United States comes with an abundance of locations where you can go for a unique honeymoon. But, if you’re looking to learn a new skill, why not go to Arizona? That’s right, you can find some of the best golf courses in Arizona and return from your trip as an expert in this sport. When it comes to accommodation, you can book all sorts of lodging in Scottsdale, ranging from luxury condos to fancy hotels. While in the Copper State, you can also explore the Grand Canyon National Park and Saguaro National Park and visit Tombstone – the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday’s stomping ground.
Meet the animals of the Galapagos Islands
Animal lovers have countless options in addition to Costa Rica. For example, have you ever thought about the Galapagos Islands? This archipelago of volcanic islands is home to numerous animals, such as iguanas and giant tortoises. Besides seeing these amazing animals, you can also go diving and snorkeling or hiking on Frigatebird Hill, which is also a great location for birdwatching.
Learn more about Japanese heritage and tradition
If you love learning about other cultures, there is no better place to visit than Japan. This country is among the world’s top tourist destinations, and rightfully so. From the unique culture that you can familiarize yourself with to the delicious cuisine that you should not skip, Japan has so much to offer. Furthermore, don’t limit yourself only to big cities like Tokyo. Make it your mission to explore some calmer, rural parts of the country too, as they will serve as wonderful romantic escapes.
These seven are just some of the unique opportunities you can experience during your honeymoon. From witnessing the Northern Lights in Norway or Iceland to planning a safari adventure in Africa to see the Big Five, the world is your oyster so make sure to explore it when you get the chance.
