As the weather turns colder here in the Midwest, it has me dreaming of warmer temperatures. While not all couples opt for warm weather on their honeymoon, the Top 10 honeymoon destinations as reported by U.S. News were all sandy beaches. But when it comes to honeymoon planning, the options can seem infinite. So how do you narrow down your list? We’ve broken out four great choices based on personality type.
For the Adventurous Couple
Hiking, snorkeling, zip lining, horseback riding, and more bucket-list adventures all in one place? Look no further than Costa Rica. This Central American country has as many or as few thrills as you may want. And with a mostly year-round temperate climate, there’s never a wrong time to take advantage of all Costa Rica has to offer. The Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo offers a great mix of both resort-based activities and expert-led excursions.
For the Indulgent Couple
Close your eyes for a second. Can you feel that mild breeze? The sun is warm on your face as you listen to the sound of the ocean from your overwater villa. After all that wedding planning, why not reward yourself by disconnecting from the world, connecting with your partner, and doing it all from the Maldives. Le Meridien Maldives Resort & Spa provides a fantastic backdrop from which to enjoy rest and relaxation. Their all-inclusive experience includes three gourmet meals each day, as well as complimentary non-alcoholic and select alcoholic beverages.
For the Kids at Heart
When we think of childhood nostalgia, amusement parks and fairs may come to mind. It’s a toss-up on which was the best part: the rides, the games, or the snacks. If you have the same fond memories of amusement parks, consider honeymooning at none other than Walt Disney World. Located in Orlando, Florida, Walt Disney World hosts more than 1200 honeymooning couples each year. With access to fine dining and drinks at each of the four parks, as well as at all the on-property resorts, Walt Disney World provides guests with a balance between child-like wonder and adult-sized merriment.
For the Classic Couple
A classic couple in loves deserves a classic honeymoon location: Paris, France. Dubbed “the city of love,” Paris has been romanticized in books, movies, television shows, and music. Besides getting lost in your love, Paris has architecture, cuisine, culture, history to explore. And if you happen to also be a kid at heart, skip on over to Disneyland Paris for a day of unabashed Disney-related fun.
