2024 Honeymoon Trends – Mini-Moons, Latermoons
Covid-19 squashed a lot of dreams but your honeymoon doesn’t have to be among them. Read on to find out the top 2024 honeymoon trends and decide on an unforgettable experience for you and your spouse, yes it is still very much possible! Until things with COVID-19 get under control you may need to consider a mini-moon, latermoon, or just skip it altogether…for now anyway. But if, your heart is set on having a honeymoon now these are some great ideas that can help you stay safe.
Heaven Is A Short Drive Away
As expected one of the major trends in this wedding season is to have a staycation of sorts and opt for locations close to home. Now, this is no reason to frown, travel websites and apps can pinpoint a range of locations a short drive away from home that you may not even know of! This way no one is risking their health and you can also do away with the jetlag, right?
Many couples are choosing this option not just for the reason of obvious comfort but also because this will count as a minimoon so they can return to work sooner and have a more elaborate honeymoon in a year. You can hire a fancy car for your road trip or just rough it out in your good ole’ station wagon but know heaven is where your spouse is!
Cozy And Comfy
The location is not all that matters for a honeymoon. With mobility being a little restricted and cumbersome due to protocols in every country, more and more couples are attaching importance to the accommodations.
While five stars is definitely everyone’s cup of tea, try to at least get a four-star or a similar level of comfort wherever you stay.
In more exotic locations like Africa, you may get five-star camp tents or copper bathtubs for all the aching muscles. If you’re a stickler for unique and challenging holidays, you may want to steer clear of the ordinary choices with pina Coladas on the beach, think about it.
2024 Honeymoon Trends For The Ultimate Experience
Mini-Moons with Short Haul Journeys
Time spent is all about quality and not quantity so a well-planned mini-moon is just what you need after the wedding., A mini-moon doesn’t mean you won’t have a long and enjoyable honeymoon at another time. Also with a shorter honeymoon, you will have the finances to do many more activities. And get to take another trip later, when travel is safer. We recommend that you hire a photographer to capture some adventurous photos during your mini-moon.
Extended Isolation
A definite upcoming honeymoon trend is tilting towards isolated locations such as less frequented islands, villas, maybe a haunted mansion/bed, and breakfast? Perhaps in light of recent events, this overt obsession with being around as few fellow tourists or newlyweds as possible is a pretty good idea. You can choose a location with hiking trails or some wild outdoor activities for the two of you to enjoy.
Later-Moon It Out
Waiting for some time (months or a year even) after the wedding to have a honeymoon is gaining popularity. This is called a “later-moon”. Pretty cute huh? Having your honeymoon at a later date, allows you to save more and ultimately have a more incredible experience. Plus a delayed honeymoon will make you appreciate everything all the more!
