Just The Two of Us
| Q | We're looking for the perfect honeymoon destination after our winter wedding; what would you suggest? |
| A | Denise Bent says: Why not continue the winter theme from your special day? Set on a magical journey to a pristine winter wonderland, think snow-covered mountains and frozen lakes. An option could be to embark on a rail journey through the stunning Canadian Rockies before arriving at your winter wonderland resort in Banff or Whistler. Enjoy the ambience, visit the Snow Festival and participate in winter-themed activities such as heli-skiing or ice skating. Days could end with mugs of warming hot chocolate (or maybe something stronger) and vibesy après ski fun. If you wish to escape the winter and enjoy glorious sunshine, it's a perfect time to go to the Caribbean. A fantastic option would be to take a trip to St Lucia, voted the world's romance capital for the past 14 years. There's a wide range of accommodations, including the prestigious Jade Mountain, one of the most luxurious resorts on the island. You could then take advantage of your gorgeous surroundings and celebrate by adding an exclusive yacht charter under the command of an experienced skipper. Board your yacht in St Lucia and sail with the wind through the Grenadines and onto the island of Grenada, stopping at your leisure to enjoy beautiful pristine beaches, deserted coves, must-see views and delightful local restaurants. What better way to start your married life than by enjoying the dazzling blue Caribbean sea and romantic sunsets? |

Planning SOS
| Q | We've just started planning our honeymoon; what advice can you share to help the process? |
| A | Amisha Patel says: The honeymoon is when you kick back and focus on the two of you while thoughts of seating charts, wedding favours and centrepieces become a distant memory. With a literal world of destinations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. At Tailored Retreats, it helps to consider some fundamental questions starting with those centred around you as a couple. What do you enjoy doing together, and are there destinations or experiences you both have on your bucket lists? Weddings often reflect the happy couple; the perfect honeymoon should follow suit! Next, think about whether you have set travel dates and departure points or if you have flexibility. Many hotels offer honeymoon benefits for couples travelling within a year of their wedding, and flexibility can mean cost savings as well as a greater choice of destinations, hotels and flights. Finally, agree on your budget. Without an idea of what you want to spend, planning a honeymoon can be exhaustive to no avail. Off the back of these initial questions, a good travel agent can narrow down destinations before working with you to design a tailor-made itinerary for your dream honeymoon. |
