Planning your honeymoon is exciting, but it can also be a little stressful and overwhelming if you aren’t sure how to match the experience you’re looking for to the right location. There are so many different factors you need to take into consideration that it can be difficult to even know where to start. If you don’t know where to go for your honeymoon, let Lisell Travel be your guide. Here are 4 simple steps to uncover the best location for your honeymoon vacation.

Create a Vision

While this may seem obvious, you’d be surprised how many couples turn to the internet first, when they really need to create a vision first. Allow us to help you better define what you are envisioning for your honeymoon and break it down in a more realistic way so that you can get clarity on your vision.

Consider aspects such as the type of accommodations you desire, whether it’s modern rooms with 24-hour room service or unique and authentic options. Think about whether you prefer an adult-only setting or a resort that caters to couples. Visualize your ideal setting, whether it’s nestled in the mountains, surrounded by waterfalls, or on a pristine beach with crystal-clear waters. Don’t forget to contemplate the overall vibe you want for your honeymoon, whether it’s laid-back and relaxing or adventurous and action-packed.

Decide on your non-negotiables

We encourage you both to write down your must-haves and priorities, the things that are most important for you to have the honeymoon of your dreams. Once you decide on your non-negotiables, the two of you can work together to create an experience that will give you both what you want. These could include luxurious accommodations, exceptional service, access to specific activities or excursions, or a particular type of dining experience. By identifying your priorities, you can ensure that your honeymoon aligns with your expectations and desires.

Define the type of experience you want

Now that you know the non-negotiables, it is time to work together to decide on the overall experience you both feel you will need. Some couples really want to be pampered and relax, other couples want to explore and have an adventure, and some couples want a good blend of both. Consider the overall atmosphere and activities you envision for your honeymoon. Are you seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, with days spent lounging by the pool or indulging in spa treatments? Or do you crave adventure and exploration, with opportunities for snorkeling, hiking, or zip-lining? Discuss your shared interests and preferences to determine the type of experience that will make your honeymoon unforgettable.

Agree on a budget

And the final step is to agree on a budget. Once you have an idea of what you both want, then the budget conversation will be easier to have, as well as, help you both decide on something realistic. It is best to consider your vision and your non-negotiables, and then fit those into your budget. Sit down together to establish a budget for your honeymoon, taking into account factors such as travel expenses, accommodation costs, dining, activities, and any additional amenities or upgrades you desire. Be realistic about what you can afford and prioritize your spending based on what matters most to you. Keep in mind that many all-inclusive resorts offer honeymoon packages and perks, allowing you to maximize your budget and enjoy a truly memorable experience.

When you honeymoon at an all-inclusive resort, you can earn honeymoon amenities & perks that will enhance your romantic vacation. Once you have all these details, you’ll be able to have more clarity on what you are looking for in a honeymoon destination & resort so that you aren’t wasting your time on places that aren’t a good fit for you.

Ultimately, the best honeymoon location for you and your partner will be one that excites and energizes you both. After all, this is a time to celebrate the culmination of a lifetime together and to enjoy being in love—not just another excuse to spend money.
