Hi Friends – hoping to get some insights from fellow honeymooners.
Will be getting married in the UK in early August, but based on the East Coast of USA so wife and I have a preference to honeymoon in Asia / Africa as we'll already be 6 hours closer then we normally would. Looking for a 7-10 day honeymoon with a price point of ~15K and a preference for laying by the pool / beach (1-2 days of adventure would be fine). Direct flight from LHR is a requirement.
Initial Ideas:
1) South of France: Pro: Easy flight from UK, weather will be pristine, can adventure in Nice / Monaco, etc.
Con: Crowds.
2) Maldives: Pro: Ideal beach / pool honeymoon. Could include stopover in Dubai / elsewhere on way home. Con: Nervous about rain season. Limited adventure options otherwise.
3) South Africa: Pro: Safari is a bucket list item. Cons: Lengthy travel from UK and home. 7-10 days may not be long enough. Wrong time of year for beach / pool.
Thoughts on these 3 locations, and if I'm missing any other destinations that could fit our criteria would be much appreciated!
