France
There is no escaping of romance in France. Be it Paris, Loire Valley, Provence…
This graceful country has always inspired love. It permeates through this country, where loved up couples laze at beautiful chateaux, get intimate in candlelit wine bars and stroll arm-in-arm at scenic spots. The opportunities for romance are endless but here is our top-pick.
ATD Recommends: Cycle through lavender fields and set up an intimate picnic in Provence.
A lifetime dream can come absolutely true in the south of France when you romance in this amazing scenery and atmosphere. Fragrant lavender fields bloom from June to August at Provence in France. Cycle through the blue-gold fields or get cozy over an intimate picnic. Booking a romantic photo shoot will not only be an icing on the cake but also help you capture and freeze those magical moments forever!
Kenya
While some would steer clear of wildlife for their honeymoon, Kenya certainly needs to be reconsidered. The contrast of luxury living and the rustic wildlife is not only awe-inspiring, it will be a fantastic way to start your life together. A private viewing deck, gorgeous camps and personalized safaris can only add to the intimacy.
ATD Recommends: Share your breakfast with Giraffes at Manor House, Nairobi.
Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s most iconic buildings: characterful, picturesque, and enveloped in history like the foliage creeping over its brickwork. The most fascinating thing about Giraffe Manor is not its beautiful façade or elegant interiors: it’s the herd of resident Rothschild giraffe. These beautiful creatures often visit morning and evening, poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary.
Oman
Sun-soaked shores lapped by turquoise oceans; souks heady with scents of exotic herbs and spices; dramatic peaks and canyons ripe for exploring; and dunes rippling off into the distance like a magical fairytale… Everyone wants somewhere special to explore on honeymoon, and the Sultanate of Oman offers a unique blend of culture, adventure and romance.
ATD Recommends: Land in style at Six Senses, Zighy Bay.
Where else in the world can you choose to arrive by speedboat, 4×4 or paraglider? Six Senses Zighy Bay beach resort in Oman is not just remote, it’s like nowhere you’ve seen before: cradled by craggy mountains, dipping its toes into the opal blue waters of the Musandam’s fjords. Nestle in your private beach villa with plunge pool and make a perfect use of a DND sign.
Spain
Enjoy fruits of all the hard work done before your wedding while you honeymoon in Spain. Each region in Spain produces wine which means that there are many excellent wineries to be found nearly everywhere. No matter where you are in Spain, there is a winery that you can visit and wine that you can taste! Annual grape stomping, also known as pigeage is in the months of September and October. The perfect way to explore the sheer cultural diversity of Spain is while sampling some of the finest wines on offer, such as those produced in La Rioja Alavesa, in the southern part of Álava.
ATD Recommends: Wine Barrel Bath for two at Hotel Marques de Riscal, La Rioja, Spain.
