Suggestions August 2026

Probably a question asked a million times here, ive been looking through the page and want a bit more information

We are getting married in italy at the end of july next year. Im irish and herself is Canadian – we have a wedding to go to in Canada on the 15th of August so we are looking to do the honeymoon between the two weddings.

We have a bit of money saved, but we arent rich like so there would be a bit of a budget involved. At this stage we arent sure what that budget would be but it wouldn't be on the same level as someone in fintech for example haha.

We wouldn't be expecting to stay in a 5 star resort for the entire trip, but at the same time we would like some sort of luxury and a sensible budget / time frame.

We want a mixture of beaches, snorkeling, relaxing, spa etc. I am also a complete geography geek, love hiking and wildlife etc. The thought of seeing rainforest, volcanoes, hot springs, snorkling with tropical fish etc. Would be perfection for myself, some beaches and spas etc would be perfect for her self

So somewhere thats a mix of this would be ideal.

Somewhere like Costa Rica, with the beaches, rain forests etc seems perfect, however IVe heard Costa Rica is probably the most expensive country in Central America. So we are also up for other options as well

We would also be open to any options around Europe as well

TIA 🙂
