The Hottest Honeymoon Trends for 2024

As we settle into the new year, it's time to start thinking about the journey of a lifetime you’ll be taking soon – your honeymoon! And in 2024, couples are stepping up their honeymoon game, ditching the conventional for the extraordinary. From unconventional destinations to culinary fiestas, nothing is off limits - even your mates are invited!

In honour of our brand-new honeymoon and destination wedding expert, Destination Seekers, we thought we’d round up the hottest honeymoon trends for 2024. The kind of places we would only dream of visiting normally, alongside some places closer to home.


Honeymoon Trends for 2024

Without further ado, let’s dive into the hottest honeymoon trends for 2024! The destinations sweeping love off its feet this year!

Uncharted Territory

Say goodbye to cliché honeymoon destinations and hello to the allure of the undiscovered. Couples in 2024 are seeking hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path locations for their honeymoon. Striving to create an intimate and unique experience.

Imagine strolling hand-in-hand through the vibrant markets of Marrakech, exploring the untouched beauty of Iceland, or sipping wine in a cosy vineyard in Uruguay. It's time to ditch the tourist traps and create memories in places less travelled.

Eco-Friendly Escapades

With sustainability at the forefront of our global consciousness, eco-friendly honeymoons are gaining popularity in 2024. Couples are choosing destinations that prioritize environmental conservation, opting for eco-lodges, treehouse stays, and even glamping in the heart of nature.

Picture yourselves nestled in a solar-powered cabin in the forest? Or enjoying a candlelit dinner on a private beach with minimal ecological footprint? Make your love story one that's not just romantic, but also environmentally conscious. Flying optional.

Culinary Journeys

Move over traditional honeymoon dinners – 2024 is the year of culinary exploration. Food-centric getaways are on the rise, with couples indulging in immersive cooking classes, food tours, and farm-to-table experiences.

From learning the art of pasta-making in Italy, to savouring street food delights in Thailand, let your taste buds be your guide. Spice up your love life with a dash of gastronomic adventure that’ll leave you with not only cherished memories but also a newfound appreciation for each other's palates.

Buddymoons

Some newly-weds desire to share their honeymoon experiences with others. To make memories while bonding with loved ones. This typically means taking the first half of their honeymoon with the group, and then the second half alone.

This style of honeymoon is not for everyone, but if you can’t bare to be apart from your best mates, and you want to save some money, this could be the ideal honeymoon for you.

Wellness Retreats

Self-care is the new romance, and couples are embracing wellness retreats as the ultimate way to unwind together. Whether it's a yoga retreat in Bali, a spa getaway in the Swiss Alps, or a meditation cruise in the Maldives, couples are prioritizing relaxation and rejuvenation.

Unplug from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with each other amidst serene landscapes and holistic wellness experiences. After all, a happy and relaxed couple is a forever couple!

Adventure Seekers' Paradise

For adrenaline junkies in love, 2024 is all about thrill-seeking honeymoons. Imagine hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, zip-lining through Costa Rican rainforests, or hot air ballooning over the scenic landscapes of New Zealand.

Couples are trading sunbathing for heart-pounding adventures, creating bonds that are as strong as their love for the great outdoors. Adventure awaits, and so does an unforgettable honeymoon experience!
