Hi everyone! 👋🏼
My partner and I are getting married on June 2026, and we’re planning to leave right after the wedding for our honeymoon. We’re looking to travel for at least 3 weeks, and want a trip that’s a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
We’re based in the UK, so while we love Europe, we’re looking to go a bit further afield for the honeymoon, we want that once-in-a-lifetime, bucket-list feel. ✈️
Some of the combo ideas we’re considering:
Maldives + Sri Lanka Indonesia (e.g. Bali, Komodo/Flores) + Mauritius or Seychelles Madagascar + beachy destination Open to other unique pairings!
We’re totally happy to splurge on the luxury/relaxing portion (like a stunning resort or overwater villa), since we're having a small wedding and want to go all out here. For the adventure/culture part, we’re open to going more budget and local, ideally something with hiking, wildlife, cool local food, and a bit of diving or snorkeling.
Now the big question: Is June a good time for these regions? I’ve read that Sri Lanka might not be ideal in June (monsoon?), and I’m not sure about parts of Indonesia either. Has anyone been to these places around that time? Don’t want to spend all that money just to get rained on!
We’re very open to other regions that are honeymoon-worthy in June, we just don’t want to stay in Europe. Our ideal mix includes:
Adventure (hiking, nature, wildlife, culture) Relaxation (beautiful beach, pool, spa vibes) A bit of luxury, we don’t need 5-star all the way, but we’d like to treat ourselves for part of the trip. Some local flavor, good food, interesting culture, not just a resort bubble.
Would LOVE to hear from anyone who’s done a long-haul honeymoon in June or has advice on the weather and best pairings. Any suggestions or hidden gems welcome! 🙏🏼
