Honeymoon is a wonderful period when newlyweds spend time together as husband and wife. It's a holiday just for you, a time to get used to your new status before returning to everyday life. When planning a honeymoon, many choose already known romantic destinations, but there are other, unconventional options to make this time magical and unforgettable.

LĪGAVĀM collected the best ideas - six recommendations for an original honeymoon.

1. Atypical destinations

When thinking about a honeymoon, Santorini, Fiji or some other corner of paradise comes to mind. Sure, they're great and romantic destinations, but they're also very ordinary. The honeymoon trip can also be to some lesser-known, atypical place. Customize it to your interests. Get to know the ancient cultures of Machu Picchu, the Egyptian pyramids or the Jordanian city of Petra. Nature lovers will love the greenery of Romania, the wildness of Iceland or the lake-rich Kazakhstan. You can enjoy delicious food in Georgia, France or Italy.

Any destination can be good for a honeymoon, because romance can be created anywhere.

2. Rest in motion

This will definitely not be a typical honeymoon, but a memorable one. It can be a good way to bond, merge with nature and enjoy each other's company and the road under your feet. Depending on the situation in the world, choose one of the hiking routes abroad or right here in Latvia. It is worth paying attention to the difficulty level and duration of the hike to know what to put in your backpack. Don't forget to take wine and strawberries for your first night under the stars.

3. Tent with amenities

Those who want to take camping to the next level will love glamping. It is an overnight stay in a tent with a real bed, electricity and other amenities. You'll still hear grasshopper songs and be closer to nature, but you won't have to worry about pitching your tent yourself and sleeping on the ground.

4. Adventure every day

How would it be to wake up in a different place every day?

Get to know new places and embark on unforgettable adventures with your spouse. A new chapter in your life should be celebrated with grandeur, so plan a trip by car, camper or even a scooter. It can be a honeymoon in Latvia or in a further destination, for example, in the Polish Tatras. Plan your route, sights and multiple adventures. For example, a hot air balloon ride on Monday, a boat trip on Thursday and horse riding on Saturday. Don't forget to also plan a relaxing day with sauna treatments and a massage, ending with sparkling champagne and delicious snacks.

5. In open waters

Who said you have to spend your honeymoon on land? If you don't get seasick, arrange a romantic vacation on a yacht or go on a longer cruise. Being far away from land, you will be able to enjoy each other's company undisturbed and take a break from everyday life.

6. Honeymoon at home

If for some reason going abroad or organizing other types of recreation is not possible, turn your home into a honeymoon paradise. Especially good if you have a private house and a garden. Lock the doors, turn off the phones, and get out of the reception area. Plan different activities that you never had time for in your everyday life. Make yourself a movie night at home or in the garden with a projector and big screen. Make delicious cocktails and snacks to munch on while lounging on the sun loungers. Order food with delivery and forget about everyday worries. It is important to inform those around you that you will not be available for calls during this time and that you will not receive visitors either.

this time is just for the two of you.
