A honeymoon is a special time to celebrate your wedding and nurture the beginning of your new marriage. It’s also a great opportunity to take some time away from your family, friends, and obligations. But how do you make it a truly memorable experience? Here are a few tips to help you enjoy your honeymoon and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Don’t over plan
While you should have an idea of what you want to do on your honeymoon it is also important to leave room for spontaneity. You may surprise your partner by asking them to dance in the rain or cuddle up on the couch with a book and a glass of wine. A little bit of impromptu romance can be some of the most memorable moments of your honeymoon.
Honeymoon can be a fun time to try something that neither of you have done before or even an old favorite like going bowling. Having fun together will strengthen your bond. It’s also a great way to break the ice and show your partner that you’re not afraid of new things.
Getting to know each other is one of the best things you can do as newlyweds. You can do this by simply talking to each other and spending quality time together. This is especially important if you have kids at home or if you’re just starting a new job.
You can also spend some time learning a new skill that you both enjoy. Whether it’s a cooking class, learning to salsa dance or taking up painting you can find an activity that you both will love.
Research shows that couples who share a hobby or interest have stronger relationships. This is why it’s so important to pick an activity that you both enjoy and can do together on your honeymoon. This will also give you something to talk about and look back on when you are bored in your marriage!
It’s also a good idea to pick an activity that is related to your honeymoon location. For example, if you are traveling to Zion National Park you could plan to hike some of the most popular trails such as the lofty Angel’s Landing or Virgin River Narrows. But you should also leave some room in your schedule for exploring the park’s lesser-known trails.
Indulge in a romantic couples massage
There are few people who don’t enjoy a nice relaxing massage and your honeymoon is the perfect time to indulge! Make sure to ask your spa for aromatherapy and hot stones to elevate the experience. Afterwards you can relax in the hot tub and really unwind.
Whether you’re relaxing at the beach or hiking in the mountains, don’t forget to bring along some of your favorite snacks! Make sure to stock up on aphrodisiac foods that are known to boost your mood such as oysters, strawberries, and chocolate. A few of these treats can be the perfect way to end a romantic day at the beach or an afternoon exploring your new city together!
