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 :).

Kauai

Destination Spotlight |

We have been getting a ton of requests lately for Kauai, so I wanted to give the island a little lovin’ today! Kauai is one of my favorite islands in Hawaii because of how much it offers.  One main road encircles the island’s entirety, excluding the vast 15 mile stretch of cliffs known as the Napali Coast. One of the most exciting activities to partake in when visiting Kauai is a helicopter tour, such as Jack Harter’s “Door’s Off” tour- literally, no doors on this helicopter! They also offer ones with doors if this idea scares you.

By seeing the island from a bird’s eye view, you are able to see so many beautiful things that you would never be able able to see otherwise. From dipping into the vast canyons, to flying along the sea cliffs of the Napali Coast and getting up close and personal with the gigantic waterfalls, the beauty of Kauai is unparalleled.

Another exciting site on the island of Kauai is the Queen’s Bath in Princeville. This “pool” is carved into a lava shelf and is the size of several large swimming pools combined. While it is typically closed in the winter months, the water is almost always calm and crystal clear when the tide cooperates during the summer months. It is just another amazing natural beauty in Kauai.

Also check out the Kilauea Lighthouse, a landmark National Heritage site of Kauai that is also a protected wildlife reserve.

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.

Cool Pools

Travel 101 |

With heat waves sweeping the country, taking a dip in one of these unique and exotic pools never sounded so good!

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

First up we have the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Take a break from the casino action and the Vegas-style shows of the Sands in the SkyPark Pool, the world’s largest infinity pool at over 650 feet in the air. The Marina Bay Sands is a perfect stop on your way to or from Bali.

Amangiri, Utah

Next, we have one a little closer to home. The Amangiri at Canyon Point, Utah features, as it’s centerpiece, a breathtaking pool that blends with the landscape of the desert. If you’re looking for a chlorine-free dip, the resort is located near Lake Powell and the Colorado River.

Fasano Las Piedras, Uruguay

This third pool had us doing a double take. Carved into the natural beauty of of Punta del Este, Uruguay, the pool at Fasano Las Piedras is the perfect way to unwind after a round at the resort’s Arnold Palmer designed golf course.

Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge, South Africa

Not only does each ultra-luxurious, glass-fronted suite at  the Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge afford stunning views of the majestic flora and fauna of South Africa, they each feature a private plunge pool. There’s no better way to end a day of observing Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, and Rhinos than floating beneath the unadulterated, star-filled African sky.

Wildflower Hall, India

Lastly, we have a private plunge pool at the fairytale luxury resort Wildflower Hall at Shimla in the Himalayan Mountains. Bask in tranquility as you take in the awe inspiring beauty of the world’s highest mountains. The spa at the colonial era resort features the best of eastern and western holistic treatments to make this a truly tranquil sanctuary.
