Resort

A honeymoon is about the beginning of the rest of your lives together - and what better way to celebrate that than on the golden sands of the Mediterranean surrounded by sunshine and blue skies at this year's most extraordinary new hotel.  Opening in just 11 days, next Friday will mark the most highly anticipated opening of the year  when  Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort throws open its doors.  

Sure to become a magnet for luxury honeymooners, Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort is Greece’s largest Thermae Resort with an unwavering commitment to wellness - honouring  the ancient Greek conviction of the healing powers of water.  

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Rendezvous has launched a new initiative, ‘Summer Tryst’, to encourage couples to reconnect and spend more quality time together.

Located on the North West of the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, Rendezvous is an idyllic, all-inclusive Caribbean hideaway. The couples-only luxury resort offers an escape from everyday life, so that couples can enjoy new memories together. Rendezvous is owned and operated by the Barnard family who transformed their St. Lucian family home into a hotel 50 years ago.

And you don’t have to fly to the other side of the world to get the 5 star treatment, around five hours on a plane from the UK takes you to the resort of Protaras in Cyprus with its secluded sandy bays, rugged cliffs and the kind of clear, brilliant blue seas that are surely a pre-requisite for any self-respecting honeymoon destination! Oh, and it’s pretty much sunny year round too!

A new trend for honeymooners in 2016 is the authentic honeymoon, filled with unique experiences, getting to grips with the destination until they know it like a pair of locals, and where happiness comes in unearthing the off the beaten track places and the out of the ordinary days out that will be recalled fondly for years to come. And when it comes to vibrancy, colour and authenticity, the islands of the Caribbean take some beating. 

A wedding blessing overlooking one of the world’s most beautiful sunsets along the Turkish Turquoise Coast, a long stretch of wide-sanded beach bedecked with roses and lanterns on which to say your ‘I Do’s ‘, Alanya’s loveliest hotel, the newly refurbished Alantur Hotel is sure to delight all members of your wedding party.  

Nestled elegantly on a wide swath of inviting beach fronting the deep blues of the Mediterranean Sea in the shadow the majestic Taurus mountains, this modern resort,  just steps from the water, is in an ideal location.  Set within a naturally rich botanical garden, Alantur Hotel is an oasis of calm and beauty -and the perfect starting point of the rest of your lives.

In an area already renowned for its beauty and luxury – Velaa Private Island in the Maldives takes the aspirational escape to an entirely new level. Ideal for honeymoons - amidst it’s unquestionably beauty it is quintessentially private.

A wedding day is the most wonderful day in a couple's life - why not celebrate the wonderful beginning surrounded by blooming botanical gardens just steps from an Azure blue sea? D Resort
