The new and improved way to honeymoon

When you think of a honeymoon, you might picture a classic beach resort or a romantic city break abroad. But times are changing! And so are the ways couples celebrate this special chapter. You no longer have to follow the traditional script (unless you want to, of course). Instead, you can create a honeymoon that feels entirely your own: filled with personal touches, fresh adventures, and a smidge of luxury that speaks to your shared story.

How about reimagining your adventure?

Forget ticking off clichéd honeymoon hotspots. Today, you get to choose experiences that truly resonate with who you are as a couple. Start by thinking about what makes your relationship unique. Are you food lovers eager to explore local markets and cooking classes? Do you crave active adventures that get your hearts racing? Or perhaps you want to dive deep into the culture and history of an off-the-beaten-track destination? Align your honeymoon with your passions! This will create memories which will linger far longer than a standard getaway. If you want to get inspired, look at some of these personalised honeymoon trends.

Let’s discover some luxury right at your doorstep!

You don’t have to jet off halfway around the world to find luxury and romance, we’ve got stunning scenery right here! British holiday parks have blossomed into sophisticated escapes, offering everything from cosy lodges with hot tubs to glamping under the stars, all set within breathtaking natural landscapes. Honestly, waking up to misty views of one of our beautiful national forests or enjoying a private deck overlooking some serene waters? Yes, please!

Have you heard of the buddymoon?

If you’re the kind of couple who thrives on shared experiences and close-knit company, consider inviting a small group of friends or family on your honeymoon. Yes, this is a thing. Known as a ‘buddymoon’, this trend turns your post-wedding getaway into a joyful celebration with the people you love most. Planning one requires a bit more coordination, but it rewards you with unforgettable moments and strengthened bonds.

Pick destinations that offer both communal spaces for laughter and privacy for intimate couple time. Many luxury villas and parks cater to groups, allowing you to enjoy collective fun while still having your own romantic moments. Here are some ideas for the UK – and here are some, if you want to hop the pond!

Honeymoon sustainably without sacrificing luxury

You probably want your honeymoon to be special, but also kind to the planet. Luckily, sustainable honeymoon options have become more accessible and stylish than ever. From eco-friendly resorts that run on renewable energy to tours that support local communities, you can design a trip that honours your values without skimping on comfort. Look for accommodations with green certifications and choose travel options that minimise your carbon footprint, such as trains or direct flights. Small actions like packing reusable water bottles and avoiding single-use plastics also add up.

Your honeymoon marks the start of a new chapter, and there’s no one right way to celebrate it. Focus on what truly matters to you and embrace fresh ideas to create a magical escape full of love, laughter, and lasting memories. Just as your marriage will be.
