Italy or Thailand? Honeymoon ideas for both of you

Deciding on your honeymoon destination can be exciting but also difficult. It is meant to be the once-in-a-lifetime vacation that you will never forget. But when the world is yours, where do you start? To compare the long haul with the short haul as a starter, we are looking at Italy and Thailand.

Honeymoon in Italy

If you are getting married in the British summer, a honeymoon in a trendy European destination is a good option if you want to avoid long flights and jet lag. Italy is a popular romantic honeymoon destination, with many luxury hotels in a variety of locations, be it rolling hills or hot spots by the lake. The modern Amalfi Coast is one of the best options in Italy for its spectacular coastlines, rugged cliffs, cascades of brightly colored houses, lemon and olive trees on the terraced slopes, all falling into an aquamarine sea.

In the coastal town of Positano, the luxurious Hotel Caruso sits 365 meters above sea level with spectacular views over the Sorrento Peninsula. Other romantic hideaways in Italy include Villa Spalletti Trivelli in Rome, JK Place in Florence, or Villa La Massa in Tuscany.

And then there is Venice in Italy, the city of love on the water. Romance is abundant here, and a honeymoon visit here is worth combining with a trip across the water to the sparkling blue waters of Croatia. An Italy and Croatia itinerary like this one can be perfect for an eventful honeymoon from start to finish.

The leading tour operators for a honeymoon in Italy include: Cognoscenti, Citalia, Sovereign.

Honeymoon in Thailand

If you want to venture a little further on your honeymoon, why not escape to Thailand for love in the Far East? A popular honeymoon retreat in Thailand is the Six Senses Yao Noi. Situated on a small island in Phang Nga Bay, Six Senses Yao Noi has 56 villas, each with its own private infinity pool and open-air baths for the ultimate in romantic luxury.

The luxury tour operator offers 2 complimentary nights every 5 nights for all your reservations at Six Senses Yao Noi. However, if lying on the beach in Thailand doesn’t tempt you for your honeymoon, why not ride elephants at Anantara Golden Triangle in Chiang Rai followed by a stay at The Peninsula Bangkok for shopping.

Other leading Thailand honeymoon tour operators include: Abercrombie & Kent, Bales Worldwide, and Kuoni.

Whether in Italy or Thailand, or neither, there are some fantastic companies that can organize the ideal honeymoon for you from start to finish. Luxury Trips and Best at Honeymoons specialize in honeymoons to many destinations around the world.
