Honeymoon ideas for 2008

:love:
In August 2008 I have the pleasure of marrying my beautiful fiancée Hannah. I have started to look at booking the honeymoon and I would be eternally grateful for some ideas from fellow money savers.

We can only manage to be away for 7 nights, so would prefer to avoid any long haul flights. Other preferences are: somewhere hot (should be ok with that in August), 4/5 star luxury type accommodation, a romantic location, a bit of pampering for the lady (I would have to indulge, if only to keep her company) and any unforgettable/unusual experiences that anyone can suggest to make the holiday memorable (bearing in mind I still want to be married on our return ;)).

The budget is around £3000 for the flights and accommodation and in the spirit of this fantastic website; less would be better :grin::money:

Cheers

    Hi there

    Congratulations. I suppose everyone is different but I think that Malta is a lovely place. There a fab 5* luxury spa resort in Siliema (not had the pleasure of staying there myself) but i saw it whilst staying there. Fortina Spa Resort Siliema. www.hotelfortina.com is theie web address i hope, but you can book it through Eclipsedirect who belong to First Choice. First Choice also have it listed but it more expensive with them. As far as I remember it an over 18 exclusive place & It looks a wonderful place. Malta itself has plenty to see & do Blue Bay is really nice & Gozo is also good for a day trip, but like I said each to their own. Failing that I also love Rhodes esp Pefkos & i'm sure there will be some 5* hotels around there somewhere.

    Anyway thats my ideas. All the best
    Life's what you make it.:j
  • Hi Feefee,

    Many thanks for your reply. The Fortina looks great and I am just bout to check out Rhodes and Pefkos also.

    Thanks again :T

    Check out www.luxurylink.com, great website with travel package auctions on. Most of the hotels are small boutique, perfect for a honey moon. You can get some amazing deals as it's really only used by the American market even though they have lots of hotels in europe.
