You’ll spend so much time planning your wonderful wedding, that you’ll be grateful of a much deserved break once the day comes to an end. See your honeymoon as a continuation of your celebration, whether you head off on your special trip as you depart your wedding venue, or if you choose to honeymoon later down the line.

Whether you’re looking for a totally unique get-away unlike any holiday you’ve ever been on before, or you simply love the thought of taking your friends away with you on a ‘buddy moon’, the team at Harper Weddings have come up with some great honeymoon ideas to inspire you.

Dubai is an uber-luxurious honeymoon hot-spot along with being a superb stopover on long-haul flights to the Far East. However, if you love the idea of a sport style honeymoon combined with sun, shopping, and spectacular service, then skiing in Dubai along with staying at one of their top-notch resorts could be exactly what you’re looking for! Ski one day and ride a camel the next.

If you’ve always wanted to give something back, then consider being a volunteer abroad for your honeymoon. You’ll not only get to see another culture but at the end of it, you’ll feel great, having helped a less fortunate community that is in desperate need of help. Volunteering abroad on your honeymoon could include building homes, teaching in schools, or help a community dig for a well, so that they’ll have fresh water to drink.

It’s probably not something you think about on a day-to-day basis, but across the world there are dozens of endangered species, and programs to help them continue to thrive. In Borneo, for example, there are a number of different conservation organisations that are always looking for people to help and give their time. This could be a pretty unique activity to do whilst on a two week trip across the world.

When we said ‘cool honeymoon ideas’ in the title, we didn’t necessarily mean cool as in cold, but if you are after a cold weather honeymoon suggestion then consider visiting Antarctica. If you love exploring, wildlife and a little bit of adventure then a trip to Antarctica could be the perfect stop over point whether you’re on a cruise or a dedicated tour of the southern hemisphere.
