You want to honeymoon in an exotic location and have experiences you both will remember for a lifetime. That much you and your partner can agree on. But, you might have different ideas on where that location is and what those experiences involve. Save the compromising for grocery shopping and house cleaning later and work with a CIRE honeymoon travel agent to plan a contrasting honeymoon, so you both can enjoy a dream honeymoon.
“Over the last few years, our honeymoon travel agents have put together remarkable honeymoon itineraries that combine two contrasting experiences in the same trip,” explains Eric Hrubant, CIRE Travel’s founder and CEO. “Couples are often facing big changes after they marry, ranging from new jobs, new cities and starting or combining families, so they are excited to include a variety of places, activities and experiences during their honeymoon that are focused solely on them.”
Recently, CIRE’s honeymoon travel agents have created contrasting honeymoons that combine rolling hills with exotic beaches and big game adventure with relaxing walks on a quiet beach. Two unique honeymoon itineraries were featured in LuxeGetaways magazine.
Contrasting Honeymoon Itinerary 1: Seychelles and Tuscany
He had visions of an exotic beach location in the Maldives, and she dreamed of the rolling hills of Tuscany. A CIRE honeymoon travel agent recommended starting off by simply relaxing. The couple boarded a flight at New York’s JFK airport bound for Mahe, Seychelles via Dubai, UAE. Waiting for them was a seaview room at the Kempinski Seychelles Resort Baie Lazare. Seven days at the resort was the perfect amount of time to unwind and relax after the hectic planning and excitement of the wedding day. The serenity and beauty of Seychelles is the ultimate setting for some couple downtime.
From Mahe, the honeymooners traveled to Milan, Italy to begin the second half of their journey. A train ride offered a picturesque view of the country as they headed to Tuscany where they stayed for six nights at Castello di Casole, a Timbers Resort with 100 acres of organic vineyards and olive groves producing several wines and olive oils. This romantic resort was home base from which to explore Florence, Siena and San Gimignano.
Contrasting Honeymoon Itinerary 2: South Africa and Mauritius
For couples seeking the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation, our honeymoon travel agents suggest exploring South Africa and Mauritius. Sugar sand beaches and crystal blue waters make Mauritius the perfect destination for newlyweds who dream of taking romantic walks on the beach and dipping their toes in warm water of the Indian Ocean. Mauritius boasts a variety of cuisine, world-class wind sports, horseback riding, hiking and more – if you happen to feel like leaving the breathtaking view and exceptional service at your beach front villa.
Rested and rejuvenated, it’s off to South Africa for its mesmerizing landscape and exhilarating experiences, such as diving with great white sharks in Cape Town, wine tasting in Stellenbosch, game viewing in the world-famous Kruger National Park, whale watching along the Garden Route, and diamond shopping in Johannesburg.
