The big day aside, planning a honeymoon is one of the most exciting aspects of your wedding as it allows you and your new spouse to spend some much-needed time together after the hype and stress of the planning process. With so many truly incredible countries in which to spend your honeymoon, deciding upon the perfect location for you and your loved one can be it can be a difficult choice.
Whilst some people are happy sunning themselves for a fortnight on an exotic beach, others prefer something a little different and revel in a chance to explore their surroundings. From dramatic coastal towns to city breaks to exploring more of the country you love, here are just a few alternative honeymoon ideas to inspire you that you may not have considered.
USA Staycation
Whilst a staycation may not sound like a honeymoon option, the USA has so many amazing towns, cities and States to offer, each one unique and exciting in their own way. Whether you want a beach holiday, a long weekend in a bustling city or a fortnight visiting the must-see tourist sites along Route 66, this great country has it all.
If you’re in search of a truly alternative honeymoon with plenty to see and a generous helping of delicious local eateries to keep you happy, then cities such as Austin, Texas are a fantastic choice.
UK Getaway

From Yorkshire to London to the Lake District, there are just so many incredible locations to host your romantic honeymoon. If you truly want to get away from it all and enjoy some time with your new partner, then a log cabin in the gorgeous English countryside could be just what you need. Don’t forget to sample traditional British foods and drink, from delicate high tea to hearty pub food – the UK is certainly a place for foodies.
European Exploration

Take your pick from the romance of Paris, the art and culture of sunny Barcelona, the tantalising cuisine of Rome and breathtaking coastline of Santorini and the vibrant blue and white architecture that grace the cliffside.
