To make this most important vacation in your life memorable, decide in advance where and how to spend it.

A honeymoon trip in winter can be divided into two directions:

• The first direction is, let’s call it “return to summer.”
• The second direction is “a charming winter fairy tale.”

Let's try to choose the best places to travel in these two directions.

Maldives.

A honeymoon in the Maldives is a special charm and a special status. Every year lovers from all over the world flock here.

Many international flights arrive to the smallest capital of the world, Mali, which surprises visitors with modern skyscrapers and developed highways. Then the guests travel throughout the archipelago, which has more than a thousand islands.

Each coral island is a real little piece of paradise and a unique example of human life in complete harmony with nature. The scattering of bungalows located on all the numerous islands does not disturb the nature of nature, but gently complements it. The atmosphere of unity with the world and romance hovers everywhere and attracts millions of vacationers like a magnet.

Each atoll is individual and interesting in its own way.

In Dalau, which is a 40-minute seaplane ride away, you can not only meet sea turtles, but also admire shell-style buildings.

Faafu is famous for its gazebos on the water, with graceful bridges leading directly from the shore. Lovers will remember for a long time meeting sunsets or sunrises in cozy gazebos on the water surface of the ocean.

Baa is a biosphere reserve with many whale sharks and rays around it. Both are completely safe for humans. In the largest and most luxurious island hotel, a couple interested in diving will have a wonderful vacation.

Laviani is ideal for newlyweds who want to stay just the two of them for a long time. Many wonderful and cozy islands are practically uninhabited.

Gaafu Alifu will attract newlyweds who are in love not only with each other, but also with extreme surfing. The western wind drives huge waves and athletic youth to the shores.

All islands are good in their own way. They have only one thing in common: high service and unique nature. The prices here are also quite high, but it's worth it.

No matter which atoll a couple of lovers choose, they are guaranteed an ideal and unforgettable honeymoon.

How to get there.

There are two non-stop flights from Moscow every week. Flight time is 9 hours.

You can also get there by flights stopping in Colombo, Dubai, Doha and Singapore.

Bali.

Bali is a multifaceted, romantic and mysterious island. Both lovers of a quiet and secluded holiday, as well as those who prefer noisy fun all night long and respect the big waves of the ocean, can safely fly here.

There is a belief that if newlyweds spend their honeymoon in Bali, they will live their whole lives in love and harmony.

This amazing island is rightfully considered the real pearl of Indonesia, and a honeymoon spent there will never be forgotten.

This island, even for the most “gourmet”, will be exotic. There are not many such romantic places for lovers on the globe as in Bali. Not a single girl's heart will remain indifferent after an unforgettable dinner on a volcano and a safari on huge but good-natured elephants.

The choice of hotels for a honeymoon is huge. You can book an exotic bungalow, a luxury apartment or just a room in a guesthouse. It all depends on preferences and budget.

Also, depending on your desire, you can choose a resort. Quiet and calm, where there are few tourists, but many corners for secluded relaxation and untouched, almost pristine nature. Or a noisy, crowded resort with fun nightlife.

And the best thing is to visit several places and get to know this amazing island better. Believe me, not a single corner will leave you indifferent.

Back. from a romantic vacation you will return there again and again in your heart and thoughts.

How to get there.

The simplest, but not the cheapest, is direct flights with one transfer to Denpasar Airport. You can fly with a transfer in Hong Kong. Doha, Singapore. Sometimes there are flights landing in Shanghai. A flight with one stop will take about 20 hours.

You can also get there through neighboring cities. It will take 25 hours or more, but it will be cheaper if you calculate everything correctly. When going on such a “trip”, you need to accurately calculate all the connections. After all, there will be two or three transfers. Troublesome, but economical.

Goa.

If you are a fan of comfortable relaxation and white sand beaches, then immediately go to the south of the state. There you will definitely find everything you need for an unforgettable honeymoon.

For example, Cavelossima is one of these places, which is located in the south of the state. The picturesque town, surrounded by emerald greenery, is famous for its comfortable villas and hotels. High service, varied cuisine and wonderful places will make your holiday unforgettable and delightful.

A huge strip of beach stretches for many kilometers, providing everyone with their own secluded place, where only your voice and the rustle of sea waves will sound. Your neighbors will be only dolphins, who frolic not far from the sandy shore.

If you want new experiences and variety, you can book a tour of local attractions or go on a fishing trip. Then enjoy a delicious dish prepared from your catch.

There are recognized Ayurveda centers in Cavelossim. Visit these temples of traditional medicine and wisdom. This will bring you energy charging and bring even more complete harmony to your life.

Cavelossima's nightlife is filled with fun, music, dancing and amazing performances.

If you want to add even more romance to your vacation, then you can order an “organized declaration of love” at the hotel. The staff will make all your wishes come true and professionally organize the evening. You will spend the evening on the beach in a white tent, where everything around will be strewn with rose petals. An exquisite menu will be specially prepared for you, candles will be lit, and live music will play throughout the evening. At a pre-agreed time, after your declaration of love, a huge bouquet of roses will be brought out. The evening will end with a beautiful fireworks display in your honor.

You will remember your holiday in Goa during your honeymoon for a long time.

There is an option to get to India by land, and then to Goa. But it is troublesome and can only be done by experienced tourists.

It is more convenient to get there by plane.

Regular seasonal flights to Goa begin in early November and end in mid-March.

Hawaii.

A honeymoon on the romantic Hawaiian Islands is a worthy end to a wedding in true Hollywood style for any couple.

The comfortable warm climate allows you to relax on the islands at any time of the year. Even in the winter months the temperature does not drop below 25 degrees.

Fantastic landscapes amaze the imagination of everyone who visits the islands for the first time. Active and extinct volcanoes, beautiful waterfalls and unique canyons will add color and uniqueness to your honeymoon trip.

Newlyweds have an incredible choice of entertainment. It all depends only on your imagination and the “thickness of your wallet.”

You can book a trip on a luxurious snow-white yacht. You can be provided with a yacht of any size. Even if it’s twenty meters tall, it’s no less beautiful. At least fifty meters long with more comfortable conditions and an expensive interior. You can also choose the vacation program on the yacht according to your taste.

The rich underwater animal world and amazing diversity will also leave a lot of impressions in your memory.

Once you visit Hawaii, you will definitely want to return there again.

How to choose a suitable place?

How to choose the perfect honeymoon destination? If you still can’t decide, then consider the following points:

1. Budget. This criterion is very important, because the choice of location directly depends on how much money is allocated for the wedding trip. If you're willing to spend the money, the choices are virtually unlimited. If you don’t have a lot of money, then consider budget options: among them there will probably be something that will interest you.
2. Purpose of the trip. Why did you decide to go on your honeymoon? If you need to relax as much as possible, then resorts with beaches and all-inclusive programs are suitable. If your goal is to get vivid impressions, then choose interesting places. And if you just want to spend time together and enjoy each other, then pay attention to options that will allow you to be alone.
3. Preferences of newlyweds. What exactly do the newly minted bride and groom want? But it is important not only to identify interests, but to combine them by finding a compromise.

• There are many places for skiing and just a pleasant winter pastime in Russia. This includes Sochi, the Elbrus region in Kabardino-Balkaria, the Urals, and the popular Dombay.

1. If you want to make your vacation eventful and memorable, then make a program of your entertainment in advance. Of course, you shouldn’t write down every day by the hour, but be sure to write down your ideas, make a list of possible activities and places you must visit.
2. It is advisable to plan your trip in advance. Firstly, this way you can save on the road: booking in advance is often much cheaper than buying tickets for upcoming dates. And there may not be any suitable places left.
3. It is better to go on a romantic trip almost immediately after the wedding, while the newlyweds are euphoric from the event and have a desire to be alone with each other. Then the couple may cool down, change their mind, or decide to spend the money on something else.

If you have planned a honeymoon trip in 2019 for the winter, now you can definitely decide where to go.

A winter wedding has long ceased to be associated exclusively with a snow-covered bride, a walk through snowdrifts and boots instead of elegant shoes. In winter, it is quite possible to have a wonderful, stylish wedding, and then go either to summer or to spring - fortunately, there are more than enough honeymoon destinations for every taste!

If your honeymoon is in December, then consider the following countries - Dominican Republic, Maldives, Canary Islands, Thailand, Egypt, UAE. Cuba, Goa, Chinese island of Hainan.

In January, the weather is still excellent in Egypt and Thailand, a wonderful season in the UAE, Vietnam, Bali and the Philippines will delight you with an excellent climate.

February is considered high season in countries such as India, Indonesia, China, Maldives, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Canary Islands, Mauritius, Morocco, Seychelles, Tunisia, South Africa, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica.

Please note that Egypt is now considered one of the most budget-friendly destinations. Due to events in the country, the flow of tourism has fallen, so you can relax on the Red Sea this season for almost pennies. If you want to spend a holiday by the warm sea under the clear sun without spending a lot of money, then we advise you to consider this option. Choose only five-star hotels with a good reputation, so as not to spoil your vacation with unexpected little things.

Another great option for a winter honeymoon is a sea cruise. Traveling across the ocean to the Bahamas and the Caribbean is carried out in winter, but lovers also like such options as cruises along the Nile, Rhine, Donava, and Amazon. What's so great about a cruise? You will see several interesting and beautiful places at once, enjoy the comfort of the ship, and will be less dependent on the weather, since you can always take refuge in a cozy cabin or in a restaurant. But this, of course, is not a budget holiday option at all, so you need to be prepared for certain expenses.

Don’t think that a honeymoon necessarily means the beach and the sea! You can have a great rest in the mountains if both the bride and groom love active sports and enjoy spending time conquering snowy peaks. In winter - a real haven for such a holiday! Ski resorts in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France are waiting for you. If you want a more democratic holiday, Poland, Andorra and Slovenia are also rich in resorts and at quite affordable prices. But if your goal is still romance, then choose Austria or Italy! The local resorts are very beautiful and cozy, and not far from them there are cities that you can visit as tourists.

Europe in winter is absolutely beautiful! Of course, the weather can throw up some surprises and you risk spending your honeymoon in the rain, but if you're lucky, you'll enjoy a mild European winter and stroll through the streets decorated for Christmas, or visit the best boutiques during the height of the discounts that start across Europe at the beginning of January. Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, Barcelona... All these cities are beautiful even in winter and attract many tourists! Vienna, Prague, Berlin are absolutely charming in winter, but the south of Italy or Spain will delight you with warm weather and bright sunshine. Of course, you can no longer swim, but you can easily walk in a light jacket along the streets of European towns.
