Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - January/February 2025 (Issue 53)

TRAVEL WISHLIST What are the hottest honeymoon destinations for 2025 and beyond? Meet the expert: Bridget Perriman is the owner of World Class Adventures, an award-winning independent travel agent offering stress-free and cost-effective holiday planning! Bridget says: Your honeymoon is such a special time - the very first adventure you’ll share as a married couple. Picking the perfect destination is almost as important as the wedding itself. For 2025 and beyond, more couples are looking for experiences that are meaningful, adventurous, and unique. That’s where I come in! At World Class Adventures, I specialize in creating tailor-made itineraries designed just for you - your love story, your dreams. Let’s dive into some of the most exciting honeymoon destinations for 2025 and beyond, and why booking with me will make your trip effortless, magical, and utterly unforgettable. 1. COSTA RICA: NATURE, LUXURY, AND A DASH OF ADVENTURE Want a honeymoon that’s equal parts thrill and tranquillity? Costa Rica could be your dream destination. Whether you’re soaking in natural hot springs or zip-lining through dense jungle canopies, it’s a place where nature and luxury blend beautifully. I’ll help you find cosy, eco-friendly lodges, organize private wildlife tours, and add those extra little surprises to make it truly special. 2. SOUTH AFRICA: SAFARI MEETS ROMANCE South Africa isn’t just about safaris (although, trust me, those are breathtaking). Imagine sipping wine in Stellenbosch, wandering Cape Town’s streets, or spotting the Big Five in the Kruger. With my insider know-how, I can arrange boutique stays and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that feel perfectly curated for you two. 3. JAPAN: TRADITION, MODERNITY, AND QUIET MOMENTS If you’re drawn to places that feel both serene and vibrant, Japan is your answer. Picture yourselves wandering Kyoto’s ancient temples or diving into Tokyo’s energetic streets. I’ll craft an itinerary tailored to you - think stays in traditional ryokans, private sushi-making classes, or maybe a cherry blossom picnic if your timing is right. 4. SEYCHELLES: ROMANTIC ISLAND BLISS Dreaming of barefoot luxury? The Seychelles is a paradise of secluded beaches and upscale resorts, perfect for couples who crave intimacy and indulgence, and is becoming more popular than the Maldives! I’ll make sure every detail is flawless, from island-hopping arrangements to hidden gems you’d never find on your own. 5. BELIZE: ADVENTURE AND CHARM Belize has a way of stealing hearts - and it’s not hard to see why. Dive into turquoise waters, explore ancient caves, or just kick back with cocktails at sunset. Whether it’s adventurous jungle stays or a day snorkelling the second-largest barrier reef, I’ll ensure your honeymoon blends thrill and relaxation seamlessly. 6. AUSTRALIA: A JOURNEY WORTH EVERY MILE A longer flight, sure, but Australia rewards you with unforgettable diversity. Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, wander Tasmania’s rugged landscapes, or enjoy Sydney’s foodie delights. The logistics? Leave those to me - I’ll make sure your journey is smooth from start to finish. 7. ICELAND: A LAND OF SURPRISES Few places are as awe-inspiring as Iceland. Chase the Northern Lights, explore glaciers and waterfalls or unwind in a geothermal lagoon. I’ll help you uncover Iceland’s unique magic, with tailored self-drive tours and stays in locations that are far from ordinary. Why Book Your Honeymoon with Me?
