Greece

Real Honeymoon |

Today, I am super excited to share the honeymoon adventures of Ashley from Be Inspired PR & her new hubby Tyman! They are just about one of the cutest couples around (to see what I mean, click here, here, & here!!) and they were such a joy to work with.  Ashley & Tyman decided on Greece because not only had neither been before, they also felt that the destination offered a good balance of relaxing and adventurous activities.

The newlyweds!

To kick off the honeymoon, Ashley & Tyman began in Mykonos at the Kivotos hotel. With only 38 rooms, it was a perfect escape after all of the wedding festivities. The Kivotos Hotel is also absolutely amazing, with some of the best views of the island and a fabulous private beach.

Next, the two ventured to the romantic island of Santorini and stayed at the Aressana. Of the two major cities on the island, Oia & Fira, Oia was the couples favorite because they felt it was quintessential Greece, and I have to agree! The bright white buildings against the rugged landscape and gorgeous blue waters…. I can’t get enough!

After their island adventures, the two headed back to the mainland and explored some of the beautiful Greek historical sites including Delphi & Meteora. Lastly, the two stayed in Athens at the Ava Hotel & Suites. Finishing up their honeymoon escape with some of the best site seeing Greece has to offer was perfect for these two and they left filled with enough Greek yogurt & Greek salad to last them a lifetime :).

Bora Bora & Moorea

Real Honeymoon |

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! To get the week started off right, I am excited to feature the exquisite honeymoon of Bryan & Laura to Bora Bora & Moorea. Not only is this one of the cutest couples, they were also fabulous photographers! The two started off in Moorea at the Hilton Moorea Lagoon & Spa where they spent their days filled with activities and then they made their way to the Four Seasons Bora Bora where they relaxed and soaked up paradise. Literally, their pictures are breathtaking.

Maui & Kauai

Real Honeymoon |

I have been so excited about featuring this next honeymoon! This is Melissa and Dan’s honeymoon escape to Hawaii. The newlyweds spent 5 nights at the Fairmont Kea Lani on Maui and then another five nights at the St. Regis Princeville on Kauai. Melissa and Dan were looking for a combination of beach, romance, and adventure, and Hawaii fit the bill perfectly!

The Newlyweds

Maui was a perfect introduction to Hawaiian culture. The couple spent their time enjoying a catamaran excursion where they had the opportunity to “snuba” (a fun combination of snorkeling and scuba diving) and they also spent a day exploring the waterfalls and beautiful views on the road to Hana. They also went on a Hawaiian cultural canoe experience, complete with whale sightings and sea turtles!

After their adventures on Maui, the newlyweds made their way to the breathtakingly beautiful island of Kauai, the “ultimate Hawaii experience” in their opinion. Melissa and Day spent time in Hanalei Bay, snorkeling and and stand-up paddle boarding (best workout ever!). They also went zip-lining at Princeville Ranch, relaxed in the luxurious hotel spa, took a spectacular helicopter tour of the island, and enjoyed stunning sunsets each evening prior to delicious dinners.

After their trip, Melissa and Dan had some spectacular advice for other couples preparing for their honeymoon: “Don’t hesitate to splurge a little – it’s your honeymoon! Pamper yourselves with a couple’s massage, rent a convertible to drive around with the top down, and don’t hesitate to book that helicopter ride. Also, take lots of photos and video – it’s such a special time and it’s fun to capture that newlywed/honeymoon bliss!”

Well said, if you ask me! Interested in planning your honeymoon to Hawaii? Contact us! hello{at}everafterhoneymoons.com

Italy

Real Honeymoon |

For today’s Real Honeymoon, I am excited to share the Italian escape of Amanda and Colin. These two newlyweds ventured to some of my favorite places in Italy: Sorrento, Capri, and Rome. Originally, the two wanted to do a beach vacation, knowing they were going to be exhausted from all of the wedding festivities, but they decided to nix that idea and go on an Italian adventure.  Sorrento met the couple with relaxation and delicious food, Capri offered a few more opportunities for site-seeing without being too exhausting, and finally, after some relaxation and rejuvenation, the two arrived in Rome for exciting sites and delicious foodie experiences! Amanda and Colin started their trip in Sorrento at the crazy-chic La Minervetta and in their own words, this was “such a perfect place to feel spoiled and start our honeymoon.” I love that! It is just the way a couple should feel on their honeymoon.

These two are huge foodies and started following Italian food bloggers on Twitter so they were able to find some amazing restaurants. In Rome, Amanda and Colin were head over heels for the Carbonara at Roscioli, and they also said that the 6-course tasting menu at All’Oro was probably the best meal they ever had!

Gorgeous, adventurous, and delicious, the three perfect words to describe Amanda and Colin’s honeymoon getaway. I’m loving all of their pictures! Aren’t they the cutest??

British Virgin Islands

Real Honeymoon |

Today I am so excited to feature Kent & Emily’s incredible honeymoon to the British Virgin Islands. They stayed at Little Dix Bay Resort for 2 nights and then spent 5 nights at Peter Island Resort.  They absolutely loved both of these resorts!  Kent and Emily said, “We really enjoyed the intimate feel that both resorts had to offer. We felt like we were the only ones there for a good portion of the time.”

So beautiful, right?! Kent & Emily had a trip to remember. They loved both resorts and because the two were so different from one another, they felt like they went on two honeymoons! Word to the wise from Kent & Emily, make sure to pack sunscreen because the hotels charge a premium for it and also, if you plan to drink, buy your beverages at the duty free shops in the airport on the way to your hotel to avoid overpriced fruity drinks.
