Creating the Perfect Honeymoon

The venue, the caterer, the guest list, the dress; the wedding is planned and ready to roll, now all that is left is anticipation and honeymoon planning. As the farthest reaches of the world become ever more accessible, the choices of where to go on the honeymoon proves even more difficult.

Herein lies the first obstacle; there is more than one person making the choice. As couples go, it is a pretty rare occurrence that each party will have exactly the same idea of what constitutes the perfect honeymoon holiday, especially taking into account the wide range of choices available. Couples can choose a secluded romantic getaway spot on a beach, an adventure holiday, an exotic sightseeing destination, or even a round the world trip.

Whatever the choice comes to, couples must keep in mind how much they want to, or are able to spend on their trip. Many weddings pack quite an expensive punch and these considerations should be taken into account before planning any getaway. Even within a budget, couples can still look towards planning their honeymoon abroad, especially if planned well ahead of time.

An adventure honeymoon could be the perfect choice for those who like to venture off the beaten path. A trip to beautiful Borneo – the world’s third largest Island – with its stunning arrays of plant, animal and bird-life, could prove to be an ideal choice. Alternatively, choose a safari across the Okavango Delta and experience wildlife in natural surroundings. Those more interested in life under the sea can choose numerous diving destinations such as the islands of the Caribbean, Mexico, Maldives and the Great Barrier Reef.

Those who might need a break after wedding madness might prefer a luxury honeymoon on a desert island beach in St Lucia, in a world class city like New York, or at a 7 star hotel in Dubai.

Travel connoisseurs can even opt for a round the world ticket stopping at as many destinations as they wish. For a feat like this to be enjoyed, couples would be advised to take a few months rather than a few weeks off from work, as it takes time to appreciate what the world has to offer.

Wherever the destination, it’s best to arrive at a suitable time of year; it would be a shame to arrive in Thailand in the middle of their typhoon season or to a skiing holiday in Canada when there is no snow. It’s best to either do the research or hire an expert on these matters who will also be able to assist with visas, flights, plus other necessities and tips for the destination.

Jamaica, the name itself conjures up images of fun, thrill, excitement, adventure and luxury. Though there is something for everyone, adventure enthusiasts will be in for a special surprise because this destination does offer too many exciting adventure opportunities. Whether it is a horseback or a cycle ride through the lush green tropical wonderland or diving 60 feet under to witness the unique and colorful marine life, each experience is sure to remain etched in the memory.

 Before you head out on your adventurous expedition, do remember to opt for Jamaica rentals over any one of the hotels. These Jamaica rentals are situated close to some of the most beautiful beaches and they give you the freedom and luxury to get the most of your holiday at your own pace and leisure. Besides, vacation rentals in Jamaica give you the perfect opportunity to enjoy first hand the local way of life, something, which an impersonal stay in a hotel cannot provide. You may want to consider Silver Sands an idyllic holiday resort, complete with all comforts and amenities, yet serene enough to provide you the privacy and space you need to make your stay extra special.

 Go in whichever direction, a gorgeous beach and a beautiful horizon awaits you everywhere. Therefore, do spend a day on exploring the various beaches such as the ever-popular Negril Beach and the James Bond Beach.

Next on your agenda should be an exploration of the underwater world that brims with shoals of colorful fish, coral reefs, tunnels and canyons. Some of the popular diving sites include Airport Reefs in MoBay, known for its wall dives. The other sites that must be visited include Jack’s Hall, Top of the Mountain and the Wreck of the Katryn in the Ocho Rios region. Each of them offers distinctive possibilities of enjoying an unforgettable diving experience.

In the excitement of such thrilling underwater adventures, don’t forget that there exists a side to Jamaica, which is equally enthralling and exciting.

The Blue Mountains contain the island’s highest point, Blue Mountain Peak at 2256 m. Its terrain is also known for offering various opportunities for adventure sports.

You can opt for a horseback ride or a cycle tour through the lush tropical wonderland and marvel at the various species of flora and fauna. Full day excursions are available from various cycle tour operators.

Alternately, you can enjoy the local and popular activity of sailing down the river on a bamboo raft. This form of rafting can be enjoyed on the Rio Grande River in the Port Antonio Area. With so much to do and experience, it isn’t surprising that Jamaica is a favorite with most adventure travelers.

 To experience a fun-filled holiday, opt for a stay at one of the Jamaica villas that offer you all the comforts and services of an upscale resort without compromising on the privacy and space of a home.

Check out Silver Sands, a community of villas and cottages along a stretch of white sand beach and surrounded by beautiful scenic vistas. These villas in Jamaica are tastefully decorated and are staffed with cooks and housekeepers to ensure you have a relaxed and a luxurious holiday.
