Popular honeymoon destinations can be overpopulated. If you're a couple looking to steer clear of the crowds, and find more intimate and quiet things to do, it's best to map out a few one-on-one activities with your new spouse so you won't be sharing your honeymoon with several other couples.
Room Service and Private Dining
What's a honeymoon for if you weren't meant to spend the day in bed anyway, right? Try having at least one meal, preferably breakfast or lunch, in your room. Many hotels and resorts offer an extensive in-room dining menu. The staff will set up a table just for the two of you, perhaps even on the balcony. Popular Caribbean destinations also offer intimate dinner dining on the beach. You can arrange a quiet dinner for two while watching the sun set over the ocean.
Beach Time
Rent a personal cabana when you want to lounge on the beach. If you're in Hawaii or Mexico, splurge for a small cabana that the resort can set up for you a little farther away from the masses.
Alone Time
If you're in a location with a town, try ducking into a movie for the afternoon. Hold hands and spend some quiet time together. If a spa is part of the resort where you're staying, book a couple's massage treatment. You'll love relaxing side by side. Most treatments in a spa can be booked together, just make sure to ask in advance.
Check into getting a room with a Jacuzzi or hot tub. Light some candles and turn on some music. If you're the adventurous type or love to sight-see, check out private walking tours where a personal tour guide will take you to see the sights.
 | In the past destination weddings were reserved for those who decided to elope or for those who were extremely wealthy and could afford to ship their guests wherever they wanted. Now destination weddings can be for anyone, if you start planning early and do your research. |
 | Honeymoon trips need to be planned the same way as any other trip: with caution and lots of double-checking. |
When considering honeymoon ideas, think about not only where the two of you would like to go, but also what the two of you would like to do while you're there. |
It is possible to have a honeymoon on a budget. The honeymoon should be a newlywed couple's reward for all the time and effort put into their wedding. |
Mention the word "honeymoon" and everyone has a suggestion although most of them sound just pretty much alike. Yes, there are always the usual suspects such as two weeks in Aruba or Jamaica, taking a grand luxury cruise, or heading off to exotic Asia. But what if you want to think outside the traditional box? |
