Need a no holds barred honeymoon?

By Val Garibotti on 12th April, 2024

We think you need an exceptional break.

Calling all lovebirds, and parents of lovebirds, in need of a no holds barred honeymoon – or holiday – after the event of the year.

The big day (though let’s be real, it’s at least a year long process) is exhausting.

Heck, it’s exhausting just being a guest, one of our team needed a holiday having attended 5 gorgeous weddings last year!

Once the planning, the stress and the military-esque coordination has wound down, we know that both the couple AND their families probably need some R&R.  (Often on different continents.)  A no holds barred honeymoon.

Think attentive hotel staff making sure you’ve got all you need, a biiiiig icy cold drink (or a perfectly brewed cuppa), and some peace and quiet to read a book, have a daily massage, catch up on podcasts, stare at the ocean – whatever helps you decompress.

We’ve got a glorious selection of no holds barred honeymoons – and we-survived-the-wedding-moons for parents – available at Fleewinter for your consideration.

PS… congratulations!
