5 Honeymoons for EVERY TRAVEL STYLE 3 4 1 by Dayna Engberg CULTURE CONNOISSEURS THRILL CHASERS ACTIVE EXPLORERS Euro trip Thailand Kauai, Hawaii Europe is bursting with countless opportunities to experience Michelin- grade cuisine, world-class art and iconic landmarks all in one vacation. Admire an aerial view of Big Ben while you toast a glass of champagne aboard the London Eye, cuddle up on a gondola floating through the canals of Venice, or kiss beneath the twinkling Eiffel Tower in Paris. With so many romantic options, it’s too hard to choose just one. Bora Bora If a fast-paced honeymoon just isn’t your cup of coconut water, consider French Polynesia instead. Every island looks straight out of a postcard with powdery white-sand beaches and hazy tropical air. Nicknamed the “Pearl of the Pacific,” Bora Bora is a honeymooner’s fantasy. Think private bungalows suspended above vivid turquoise lagoons. This place was built for romance and relaxation. 2 LEISURE SEEKERS 1 WE RECOMMEND Monograms 3 Nights London, 3 Nights Paris, 3 Nights Venice, 3 Nights Florence & 3 Nights Rome Thailand is fantastic because once you’ve covered the cost of airfare, it doesn’t take much money to live luxuriously. Visit tropical beaches, breathtaking bays and opulent golden temples. Hop on a tuk-tuk and whiz around buzzing neon street markets. As the sun sets, discover a curiously themed restaurant or dance the night away at a booming nightclub. In Thailand, you’ll discover adventure at every turn. There are few things as iconic as honeymooning in Hawaii. Kauai, also known as the “Garden Isle,” is a diverse tropical wonderland with few tourists. Hike winding mountain trails, stand beneath the cool mist of enchanting prismatic waterfalls, discover desolate sandy beaches, and float in undulating sapphire lagoons. When it comes to exploring impossibly photogenic landscapes, Kauai is truly next-level. 5 WILDLIFE WANDERERS S t. Lucia Framed in its iconic Piton Mountains, St. Lucia is the wild gem of the Eastern Caribbean. The island is small enough to explore on foot but still large enough to hide a handful of secret beaches, natural thermal pools and vibrant botanical gardens. If you’re looking to spend your honeymoon appreciating the outdoors but aren’t up for anything too extreme, St. Lucia is the perfect middle ground.
