 Many Moons of Romance

IMAGINE...

...Your dream journey.  


Awake in your private over-the-water bungalow in Tetiaroa, with only each other and the soothing sounds of the gentle surf as companions. Hand in hand, take a leisurely stroll along a pristine white-sand beach, and as the day unfolds, indulge in the magic of sipping champagne at sunset over a mesmerizing turquoise lagoon.

Picture an intimate gourmet dinner for two, served with tropical charm on the beach, and later, retreat to the privacy of your luxurious villa, where the tranquil melody of waves becomes your serene backdrop. Can you envision this as the embodiment of your honeymoon dreams?

Recognizing that honeymoon preferences vary, our Romance team have crafted a diverse array of experiences to cater to different tastes. Below is a curated list of the types of honeymoons we have expertly designed in the past.

 

Our only job is to design one that is perfect for you.

ENGAGEMENTMOON

An "engagementmoon" is a term used to describe a romantic getaway that a couple takes immediately after getting engaged. It combines the excitement of the engagement with the joy of celebrating the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. The engagementmoon is a special and intimate trip designed to allow the newly engaged couple to bask in the happiness of their commitment to each other.

Similar to a honeymoon, the engagementmoon typically takes place shortly after the proposal, offering the couple a chance to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other's company in a romantic setting. It provides an opportunity for the couple to create lasting memories before diving into the wedding planning process. The destination and activities chosen for the engagementmoon are often influenced by the couple's preferences and shared interests.

Whether it's a beach retreat, a city escape, or an adventure in nature, the engagementmoon allows the couple to savor the joyous moment of their engagement while embarking on a special journey together.

HONEYMOON

A honeymoon is a traditional vacation taken by a newlywed couple shortly after their wedding ceremony. It is a special and often romantic getaway that provides the couple with an opportunity to celebrate their marriage and spend quality time together in a new and intimate setting.

Honeymoons are typically characterized by relaxation, enjoyment, and the creation of lasting memories as the couple begins their journey into married life.

Honeymoon destinations vary widely and can include tropical beach resorts, cultural city explorations, romantic countryside retreats, or adventurous outdoor experiences, depending on the couple's preferences. The duration of a honeymoon can range from a few days to several weeks, allowing the newlyweds to unwind, connect, and savor the beginning of their life together.

The concept of a honeymoon has deep historical and cultural roots, symbolizing the sweetness and joy of the initial phase of marriage. It is a time for the couple to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, revel in their newly established union, and create cherished memories that will set the tone for their life as a married couple.

WEDDINGMOON

A "weddingmoon" is a term used to describe a combination of a wedding and honeymoon, where the wedding ceremony and the honeymoon vacation take place at the same destination. This concept allows couples to seamlessly transition from their wedding celebration to their honeymoon without having to change locations.

In a weddingmoon, the couple and their guests often travel to a picturesque destination where the wedding ceremony takes place.

 

Following the wedding festivities, the couple remains at the same destination to enjoy their honeymoon. This approach is particularly popular for destination weddings, where couples choose scenic or exotic locations for both the wedding and honeymoon experience.

The weddingmoon concept provides a convenient and often more intimate way for couples to celebrate their marriage. It allows them to minimize the stress associated with planning two separate events and provides a continuous, celebratory atmosphere for the newlyweds and their guests. Additionally, it allows the couple to immediately transition from the wedding festivities to the relaxation and romance of their honeymoon without the need for additional travel.

BABYMOON

A "babymoon" is a term used to describe a vacation that expectant parents take before the birth of their baby. It is a special getaway designed to allow the couple to relax, spend quality time together, and enjoy some pampering before the arrival of their newborn. The term is a blend of "baby" and "honeymoon."

 

Unlike a honeymoon, which typically occurs immediately after the wedding, a babymoon takes place during the pregnancy, usually in the second trimester when the expectant mother is likely to feel more comfortable and energetic.

Babymoons can be a variety of experiences, ranging from a tranquil beach vacation to a romantic city escape or even a wellness retreat. The focus is on providing the couple with a peaceful and enjoyable environment, allowing them to bond and create lasting memories before the demands of parenthood begin.

The concept of a babymoon has become increasingly popular, and many resorts and destinations offer special packages catering to expectant parents, including relaxation activities, spa treatments, and amenities designed to enhance the comfort of the mom-to-be.

MINIMOON

A "minimoon" is a term used to describe a short and typically local or nearby honeymoon taken by a newly married couple, usually lasting a few days or a weekend. Unlike a traditional honeymoon that may involve an extended vacation to a distant or exotic location, a minimoon is a more compact and immediate getaway.

Couples opt for minimoons for various reasons, such as time constraints, budget considerations, or simply the desire for a brief retreat to celebrate their marriage before planning a more extensive honeymoon in the future. Minimoons are often chosen by couples who cannot take an extended time off from work or have other commitments.

Minimoons can take place at a nearby resort, a charming bed and breakfast, a romantic cabin, or even in the couple's own city for a staycation. Despite being shorter in duration, minimoons still provide the newlyweds with an opportunity to relax, unwind, and enjoy each other's company as they embark on their married life together.

MAXIMOON

The term "maximoon" is the concept of a "long honeymoon" that involves multiple locations is something that some couples choose to do. This extended honeymoon allows newlyweds to explore diverse destinations and create a more extensive and varied experience. Here's an explanation of what a "maximoon" or long honeymoon to multiple locations might involve:

Extended Duration: Unlike a traditional honeymoon that might last a week or two, a long or "maximoon" involves a more extended period of travel. This could range from several weeks to months, depending on the couple's preferences, time availability, and budget.

Multiple Destinations: The couple plans to visit several destinations during their honeymoon. These destinations could be in the same region, country, or even span different continents. Each stop may offer unique experiences, landscapes, and cultural encounters.

Varied Experiences:The goal is to diversify the honeymoon experience by exploring different types of settings. For example, the couple might combine beach relaxation with city exploration, cultural immersions, and adventurous activities, creating a well-rounded and memorable journey.

Memorable Adventures: The long honeymoon is an opportunity for the couple to create lasting memories through a series of adventures, unique encounters, and shared experiences that will become cherished stories throughout their married life.

ADVENTUREMOON

An adventurous honeymoon is a travel experience designed for couples seeking excitement and thrill, diverging from the traditional romantic getaways. The essence of this type of honeymoon lies in prioritizing thrilling activities that challenge and create enduring memories. Couples opt for an adventurous honeymoon to embark on a journey of exploration, seeking unique and often exotic locations for shared experiences.

Outdoor activities play a prominent role, with couples engaging in activities like hiking, trekking, biking, and camping amidst scenic landscapes. Water-based adventures, such as snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, or surfing, add an aquatic dimension to the experience. Wildlife encounters through safaris, jungle excursions, or visits to nature reserves offer a chance to connect with nature on a deeper level.

Cultural immersion is another facet, with couples incorporating experiences like interacting with local communities, attending festivals, or exploring historical sites. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, extreme sports like zip-lining, paragliding, bungee jumping, or rock climbing become integral to the adventure.

Choosing off-the-beaten-path destinations and planning multi-destination itineraries contribute to a sense of discovery and seclusion. Photography expeditions are embraced, allowing couples to capture the beauty of their surroundings and preserve the memories of their adventurous journey. Luxury is not overlooked, as couples combine adventure with comfortable accommodations, ensuring a memorable and indulgent experience.

FAMILYMOON

A "familymoon" is a term used to describe a vacation that a newly blended family takes together after a wedding. In this context, the familymoon is not just a honeymoon for the newlyweds but also includes the children from previous relationships, creating an opportunity for the entire family to bond and create shared memories.

The familymoon concept recognizes the importance of integrating and bonding as a newly formed family unit. It provides a setting for both the adults and children to spend quality time together, fostering connections and creating a positive foundation for their life as a blended family.

Familymoons can take various forms, ranging from relaxing beach vacations to adventurous trips or cultural explorations, depending on the preferences and interests of the family members. The key is to choose activities and destinations that cater to the diverse ages and interests within the family, ensuring an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

This approach reflects a commitment to building strong family ties from the outset, acknowledging that the transition into a blended family comes with unique challenges and opportunities for growth. The familymoon allows for the celebration of the new family dynamic in a supportive and enjoyable environment.
