Best Unusual Honeymoons for Young Couples

Relaxing on a beach while cosying up with your loved one sounds like a perfect honeymoon for most people. But if you want your honeymoon to turn into an epic adventure, then you should go beyond the ordinary. Besides, the main idea of a honeymoon is to go on a trip that both of you will remember for the rest of your life. 

If you're looking for a unique honeymoon that is more than just the usual all-inclusive beach vacation, then here are some of the most unusual ideas to consider for your romantic escape...

Costa Rica 

Costa Rica is an ideal destination for adventure-loving couples who want to stay active and experience the outdoors during their honeymoon. It's also a great choice for those who love nature and want to witness wildlife in their natural habitat.  

There are many things that couples can do on their honeymoon in Costa Rica. But if you want to experience something unique and exciting, trek the jungle to see rare squirrel monkeys. Aside from rare squirrel monkeys, you could also come across other interesting wildlife such as parrots and sloths. Another interesting honeymoon idea for adventurous couples is to stay in a unique upscale wilderness resort such as the Lapa Rios Ecolodge. Located in the middle of a remote rainforest, this ecolodge offers a wide range of activities for adventurous guests, such as hiking, horseback riding, surfing, kayaking, and more.

Costa Rica is also known for its hot springs and thermal rivers where you can soak up and relax. If this is the kind of activity that you want to indulge with your partner, then head to the hot springs of Arenal Volcano. The scenic labyrinth of thermal pools offers a welcome respite after a whole day of trekking Costa Rica's jungles.

Ibiza 

Ibiza has long been hailed as a party destination, but there's certainly a whole lot more to Ibiza than this. Party-loving couples who also want to experience a bit of culture, excitement, and adventure would love Ibiza even more. 

When going to Ibiza for your honeymoon, make sure you book the best accommodation. Rent an Ibiza honeymoon villa with a pool where you can relax and spend some quality time after a whole day of partying on the island. Although Ibiza is famous for its clubbing scene, the island still manages to maintain its tranquil side. In fact, the island is becoming one of the most popular destinations for all things wellness, and a lot of resorts are offering yoga lessons and wellness retreats. 

If you want to shake things up a bit on your honeymoon, try your hands at the various activities on the island, such as parasailing, horseback riding, and biking. Going on a romantic stroll through the many quaint little towns and villages in Ibiza is also a great way to spend quality time on your honeymoon.

Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan is probably not the first destination that would come to mind when deciding where to go on your honeymoon. However, this landlocked country in Central Asia is now becoming a popular choice for adventurous honeymooners. The country's high altitude, vast land areas, fascinating natural attractions, and interesting wildlife have lured adventure-seeking travellers to visit and explore.

Kyrgyzstan is a haven for those who love the outdoors and adventures. Therefore, one of the best things to do in Kyrgyzstan on your honeymoon is to go trekking. You can sign up with a trekking company or hike independently. Your trek will take you through remote villages and untouched mountains while passing along crystal clear lakes. Given the magnificent landscapes of Kyrgyzstan, your trekking honeymoon will be something that you’ll remember for the rest of your life!

Morocco

With its bustling markets, epic mountain peaks, and vast deserts, Morocco is, no doubt, a paradise for exploration. Couples with a sense of adventure will surely have a blast exploring this North African nation on their honeymoon. 

Taking a luxury Morocco desert tour is a must-activity on your Moroccan honeymoon. Ouarzazate, a 4-hour drive from Marrakech, is a gateway to the Sahara Desert. This gorgeous city is so scenic that it has been featured in many Hollywood films. Soak up the views as you pass through the Tizi n' Tichka mountain pass before heading to the High Atlas Mountains.

Make your honeymoon vacation even more exciting by sleeping at a luxury desert camp. These camps are set in the middle of the desert offering complete tranquillity amidst a sea of apricot-toned sands. Enjoy campfires at night and be treated to a sumptuous Moroccan breakfast in the morning. While in the desert, you can take part in various fun activities. You can go sandboarding down the dunes or ride a camel for desert trekking.

Norway

Going to Norway for a honeymoon is a great choice for many reasons. Aside from the numerous activities in which you and your spouse can indulge, the country is blessed with so many incredible sights that you would not find anywhere else in the world. 

Seeing the Northern Lights should be on top of your list of things to do while honeymooning in Norway. Consider spending a few days in a cosy cabin retreat in Northern Norway to witness this mesmerizing phenomenon up close. Cruising through Norwegian's fjords is also a must activity for couples. Of the many fjords in Norway, it is the Geirangerfjord that stands out. This UNESCO-protected site is known for its magnificent, snow-covered mountain peaks, lush vegetation, and majestic waterfalls.  With your spouse by your side, sit along the edge of your boat to witness the gorgeous scenery up-close.

Make your honeymoon even more magical by going on a sleigh ride with your spouse. Bundle up all nice and cosy while having fun with your loved one on a sleigh. Going on a road trip is also a fun activity for your honeymoon. Drive through the scenic route of E6 road, which starts from Malmö, Sweden and goes all the way to the Norwegian coastline. This route is known for its gorgeous lakes and mountains, making it one of the world’s most beautiful places to go on a road trip.
