Planning a wedding should be fun and exciting, but with so much to organise and arrange in a relatively short amount of time, the process can leave the happy couple feeling stressed and exhausted rather than happy and relaxed, and so a romantic honeymoon somewhere warm and exotic provides the perfect end to the perfect day.

If you are busy planning your wedding for next year, then you probably have a list as long as your arm with things to do, places to go, and people to see, and so to help you choose the perfect honeymoon destination we would like to share our Top 3 Romantic Hotspots for 2013.

Zanzibar Island, Tanzania

Zanzibar Island is just about as exotic as it sounds, and if your idea of the perfect honeymoon involves pristine white sandy beaches, five-star luxury accommodations, fine waterside dining, and romantic day trips, then this East African gem is a great choice for your 2013 honeymoon.

There are plenty of five-star properties on Zanzibar that offer great packages for newlyweds, but if you both enjoy water sports and diving, head on over to the luxurious Meliá hotel and make the most of their brand new diving facility.

The Whitsundays, Australia

Consisting of 74 islands dotted along the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday Islands will send your senses into overdrive!  The aptly named Daydream Island is a wonderfully romantic destination for newlyweds, and a great base for discovering many of the neighbouring islands such as Hayman and Hamilton.

Daydream Island has just one resort and spa set amongst exotic gardens, where honeymooners can enjoy feeding baby sharks in the man-made ‘living reef’, watch a romantic movie in the open-air cinema, or simply spend their days relaxing on the gorgeous beach.

Malaysian Borneo

Oriental and exotic, Malaysian Borneo is an up and coming honeymoon destination for newlyweds who wish to experience lush rainforests, an abundance of wildlife, palm-covered beaches, and pristine coral reefs.

If you really want to spoil yourselves and make this a honeymoon to remember, check-in to the Shangri-La Rasa Ria Resort, set on the beach surrounded by 400 acres of tropical rainforest.  With a championship golf course, a Spa, and their very own Orang-utan Education Centre, this beautiful resort has something to cater for everyone.

Wherever you decide to spend your first week as newlyweds, we hope you find your honeymoon in paradise!

Escorted Tours – Combining an Adventure Trip with a Luxury Holiday

If you would like to spend your 2012 holidays doing something a little bit different, a multi-destination escorted tour might be just the holiday you are looking for.

Combing a thrill seeking adventure with a indulgent beach break, a luxury escorted tour really does offer ‘the best of both worlds’, and as you have a professional guide on hand to take care of all the travel arrangements, luggage, and hotel check-in procedures, the only thing you have to do is turn up, and enjoy!

There are many different options available to those looking for a multi-destination holiday, and here we share our top two journeys to give you some inspiration:

South Africa & Mauritius

South Africa and Mauritius go together like strawberries and cream!  South Africa offers the excitement of a luxury tented Safari where one can witness the Big 5 (Lion, elephant, water buffalo, leopard, rhino) during a game drive, cool cosmopolitan cities such as Cape Town offering endless shopping and dining locations, and magnificent Winelands.

The Island of Mauritius is just a short flight from South Africa, and after an action packed week in SA, one can relax, unwind, and enjoy the beautiful white sandy beaches, and warm turquoise waters of this Indian Ocean paradise.

With 5-star ultra luxury hotels dotted along the coastline, Mauritius is the perfect place to end your multi-destination escorted tour.

Kilimanjaro & Zanzibar

While both of these destinations reside in the East African Country of Tanzania, they offer two very different holiday experiences!  Climbing Kilimanjaro is a dream for many, and a small group escorted tour to the top of this impressive 5895m peak is ideal for those looking for adventure!

Once you have completed your mission to the top of Africa’s highest mountain, a relaxing beach break on the tropical island of spice, will help sooth those muscles and rejuvenate the body.

A short one-hour flight will transport you from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, where you can enjoy the fine dining and Spa facilities available at your luxury 5-Star All-Inclusive hotel.

This holiday of a lifetime includes all the adventure one could possibly wish for, and the added luxury beach break makes this a winning combination.

There are so many wonderful countries and places to visit on our planet, and if you want to cram as much as possible into your holiday leave, why not take a multi-destination escorted tour, and enjoy a little bit of everything!
