Undiscovered Honeymoon Locations

Blog by Jennifer Dale

A wedding is said to be the most momentous day in a woman’s life, but there is another event that is a constant source of debate — the honeymoon. Whenever you think of a honeymoon, you are always wondering where to go because you want it to be unique and special. That’s where we come in. You don’t need to go somewhere that is more tradition for your honeymoon like Paris. You can go off the beaten path and dare to be different by choosing a honeymoon location that hasn’t been discovered by the masses yet.

Nairobi Kenya

Kenya is not only a beautiful location, but it has a unique feature that you won’t be able to find anywhere else. The Giraffe Manor. The Safari Collection owns this manor, and it is set in one of the most exclusive boutique hotels. It is located on private land, and it’s nearby an indigenous forest as well. The Giraffe Manor is one of Nairobi’s most iconic spots, and it has been around for almost a century since European visitors began going to Africa to enjoy safaris. It has an elegant interior and offers terraces that catch the best light from the sun and has verdant green gardens. The greatest thing about this location is that there is a herd of giraffes that come to visit every morning and night. They stick their heads in the window so that you can give them a treat and spend some time with them. How amazing is that for an opportunity for your honeymoon? You won’t be able to dine with giraffes anywhere else. Another benefit to staying here? You can adopt a baby elephant at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, or you can take a walk in the sanctuary guided by others and come even closer to the giraffes.

Each room offers a different take on elegance and comfort for every guest. The Giraffe Manor is a honeymoon destination that is perfect for being able to learn about nature and other cultures while being able to see the wondrous beauty of the wildlife of Kenya.

Lapland Finland

This destination is the best place to see the glow of the northern light, which will ensure that your honeymoon truly is the unforgettable moment that you want it to be. You will want to stay at the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort. Perfect for couples who want to explore a wondrous location and feel magical at the same time; this destination is ideal for getting to see something new and innovative. The northern lights are a beautiful phenomenon that most people only dream about seeing, but this resort makes it a reality. From your accommodation, you can see the entire sky lit up beautifully and experience the wonder of it, knowing that this is a memory you will never forget as long as you live.

Because this is a winter wonderland, they even have a home for Santa here. If revisiting Santa isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry, they have plenty more to offer. If you love horses, you are in luck here because they offer horseback riding in the snow, along with reindeer sledding as well!

If you are looking for something that might make you feel like you have stepped into a winter movie of old, they even have husky sledding with Siberian huskies, which are said to be the most beautiful dogs in the world.

One of the most ingenious things about the resort is how they have set up the rooms and where you will be staying. A note here is that for where you are staying and the fact that you are facing sub-freezing temperatures, this resort has gone above and beyond to make sure that your room is luxurious while offering you an escape from the cold. They offer six different types of rooms for guests to enjoy, and each has its own flair.

● The first type of room that is available to you is a glass igloo. ● The second type of room is the Kelo-glass igloo. This type of structure is a little bit different from the other igloos because it’s combining the glass igloo design with the log chalet design. ● The third is the log chalets, which are made from large Kelo pines. ● The fourth option is an authentic igloo in that it is a snow igloo. This offers a true once in a lifetime experience as not very many people ever get to do this. ● The fifth is the queen suites, which include a sauna and outdoor jacuzzi. ● The last is the wedding chamber, which is in an earth lodge. These have been used in Finland since ancient times, and it looks like a perfect hideout!

As you can see, with this resort, you will have an amazing time with experiences like no other!

Tanzania Africa

The Saadani National Park is our destination here. It offers the ultimate cultural experience while making sure that you are never bored. They provide wildlife safari tours that will allow you to see everything this amazing country has to offer, and Tanzania has long been rated one of the most enchanting wildlife destinations in the world. However, it remains an undiscovered honeymoon destination simply because couples have no idea it exists. If the wildlife safari doesn’t whet your appetite, they also offer a camping safari tour that immerses you into nature and lets you experience what nature has to offer at night as well as during the day. It provides an excellent camping feel with a crew that is both friendly and informative, and they cook delicious bush cuisines to give you a taste of the real Africa. Africa is known to have a beautiful and diverse history, and as a result, they offer historical and cultural tours as well. What this tour will do is take you to visit the local villages and show you the authentic lifestyle of over one hundred different tribes that live in rural Tanzania. It not only adds quality to your trip, but it shows you how you can support the development of other countries and see economic projects and ecological protection. This experience can open you to a whole new world. Of course, since Tanzania is home to the highest mountain in Africa, the genuinely daring can decide to climb it. This is said to be a fantastic tour, and you get to see the rainforests on the lower parts of the mountain while seeing deserts and a wintry arctic as well. You will be able to follow six different routes and be able to camp all the way through.

Durness Scotland

Our last destination on this list is in the scenic country of Scotland. Durness is on the northwest tip of Great Britain, and it is both remote and wild with a beautiful expanse of Cape Wrath. The result? You get one of the most dramatic landscapes that Europe has to offer. It also has some of the best walking locations in the world with a stunning coastline that gives you golden beaches along with cliffs and mountains all in the same place. Durness is a paradise, and on any day you visit, you have the option of seeing fantastic wildlife as well from puffins to spotting whales!

They even have a haunted legend of the bearded sailor’s ghost at Sandwood Bay if you want to dive into some history. You also get the pleasure of the North Sutherland’s beautiful scenery. The Croft 103 is where you will stay, and they have striking buildings that complement the surroundings in every way possible while showing you the majesty of Scotland. They offer many different activities and make sure to use the location to their advantage with each one.

● To enjoy the water, they offer surfing and diving for all levels of experience that puts you right in the center of the stunning waves, and this is a location that can say that their beaches are unspoiled while many others cannot. ● If you would like to be up close with your surroundings and go exploring, you can choose to walk among the scenery of the highlands and explore the cliffs on the mainland and walk around Durness as well. ● Offering a more traditional activity, they also have golf, but the difference here is that it is one of the prettiest courses in Great Britain while also being able to say that it is one of the most remote. If you are a golf lover, this is a must, and if you come in the summer, you can play midnight golf.

● You can also explore Smoo Cave. This cave has an active river with a sinkhole that goes deep. The underground waterfall, together with these and the fact that it has the most dramatic entrance in the entire country, makes this a must-see. Said to be the most spectacular cave in Scotland, it has enormous chambers that emerge at sea level and offers an amazing tidal gorge. It has also revealed compelling evidence of transient occupation, which makes this even more fascinating.

As you can see with these destinations that have been unspoiled and unseen by many, your honeymoon would be the stuff of stories far into the future as you open yourself to a whole new world that you would never have guessed exists at all. The only question you have to answer now is where you will go?
