May 28, 2024

A child free honeymoon offers couples the chance to celebrate their newlywed status in serene, romantic, or even adventurous settings without the presence of their children. Whether you seek secluded beaches, bustling cities, or exotic locations there are plenty of different destinations for you to choose from to have your dream honeymoon!

We would like to inspire you with our list of some of the ultimate (child free) honeymoon destinations.

The Maldives

Renowned for its white sandy beaches, clear waters and overwater villas, this tropical paradise is made up of a collection of over 1,000 islands. So, it is no surprise that the Maldives made the top of the list for top child free honeymoon destinations!

This popular honeymoon destination offers the perfect escape with days filled of snorkelling, relaxing in the spa and lounging outside your private overwater style villa. Many resorts offer romantic extras such as floating breakfasts, sunset cruises and even private candlelit beach dinners. There’s no shortage of romance here!

Of course, you have to visit one of the many picture-perfect beaches like Fulhadhoo, Dhangethi and Hulhumale (just to name a few)! After exploring the beaches try some unmissable Maldivian cuisine such as Garaudhiya (fish soup), Mas Huni (shredded smoked tuna) finished by Saagu Bondibai (a warmed coconut milk, cardamon and rose pudding).

Santorini, Greece

The iconic Greek island of Santorini is known for its white and blue buildings set to dramatic cliffs which overlook the Aegean Sea. This romantic haven hosts charming villages such as Oia and Fira. Here, you and your loved one can explore the narrow-cobbled streets, lined with boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Enjoy all this delicious cuisine set to the most breathtaking views, surrounded by the beautifully traditional décor.
