EXPERIENCE THE VERY BEST HONEYMOON WITH SCOTT DUNN
An Artic Honeymoon: Stockholm and Swedish Lapland
From the vibrant and trendy city of Stockholm to the beautiful Lappish wilderness of Sweden, this itinerary is all about balance. It’s ideal for those looking to venture off the beaten track near the Arctic Circle before ending with a culture fix in the cobbled-street capital. A must-do for honeymooners is to embark on a night-time snowmobiling excursion to try and catch a glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights, before retreating to the privacy of Loggers Lodge, a snug timber cabin complete with a sauna and outdoor Jacuzzi.

A Grecian Getaway: Honeymoon in the Peloponnese
The Peloponnese is a mythical, magical region with dramatic, unspoilt landscapes, ancient architecture and breathtaking views. This itinerary combines the intimacy of a 19th century boutique hotel, Tainaron Blue, with the pampering of hilltop hideaway Kinsterna Hotel & Spa and the luxurious haven that is Amanzoe. Guests can start by spending days walking back in time as they absorb the unspoilt natural beauty of the ruins and fortresses of the Mani Peninsula, before ending up at the ancient-Greek inspired Amanzoe, which has the power to make even the most discerning traveller feel like a modern day God as they lounge in the luxurious spa and partake in energising sunrise yoga classes.

Bhutan offers endless options for exploring, with spectacular monasteries and iconic landmarks such as the Punakha Dzong and Taktsang Goemba, where one can soak in the positive energy from the people and learnings of Buddhism. Once in full relaxation mode, the golden shores of the very much un-explored Andaman Islandsprovide the perfect backdrop for the last leg of the trip, where guests can spend days diving, snorkeling or lazing by the pool surrounded by lush green jungle and glistening white beaches.

A must-do for honeymooners is a visit to the temples and monasteries of Nepal for a personal wedding blessing – whether it’s by a Hindu priest at the Pashupatinath Temple or a high Buddhist Lama at the Shyalpa Tenzin Buddhist Monastery. Before heading to Oman, lovers can also book a private helicopter ride around Mount Everest for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to soar (almost) as high as those who summit the majestic mountain. Last, but definitely not least, the itinerary ends with a burst of colour in the bustling city of Muscat where guests can indulge in authentic Middle-Eastern cuisine, visit the perfume-laden alleyways of the Muttrah Souq market, or simply kick back and relax at The Chedi’s iconic spa.

With its ski pistes to suit all levels and array of Michelin star restaurants for romantic apres-ski evenings, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites is a dream come true for ski enthusiasts. For an extra memorable evening, guests can take a ride on a horse-drawn carriage to explore picturesque views of the Hidden Valley and Sella Ronda circuit, where nature creates a stunning work of art as the sun moves across the sky to shift from orange, to red and purple – an optical phenomenon the locals call the “enrosadira”. This Italian itinerary ends in Venice, where lovers can wander the ancient city exploring beautifully restored buildings, or hop on a romantic gondola through the meandering canals before indulging in gourmet Italian cuisine.

The trip also includes a visit to the Kinabatangan River, which has the highest concentration of wildlife in Borneo. A romantic boat ride through the mangroves will offer the opportunity to spot proboscis monkeys, rare Hornbills, pygmy elephants and possibly even wild orangutans.
