Island Hopping | May
If you’re looking for a beach-based holiday, then island hopping is an excellent way to spend your honeymoon. By splitting your time between several different islands, you don’t have to worry about getting bored in one place and you get to experience different locations, resorts and beaches.
The great news about island hopping is that it can be as luxurious or as low-key as you like. Go for all-out luxe with a blow-the-budget trip to some of the Seychelles’ stunning private islands, experience laid-back life by visiting several of the Caribbean’s beautiful islands or see another side of Australia with a visit to the country’s off-shore islands. Also consider island hopping honeymoons to islands in the Maldives, the South Pacific, Mozambique, Tanzania, Southern Thailand and small islands off Malaysia - the world is your oyster.
One of the main advantages of an island-hopping honeymoon is that you’ll get to see different destinations. Therefore, it’s a good idea to make sure that each island you visit is different from the last. This may sound hard when you’re headed somewhere like the Maldives or the Seychelles, but there is a surprising amount of difference between island resorts. Find out the size of the resort, what facilities and activities are on offer, what the scenery/location is like, whether there are any nearby villages you can visit and what differentiates one from the other. Maybe choose a large resort with lots of restaurants and activities and then hop over to a small, intimate retreat with only six rooms and a private beach for every guest, before ending up at a hotel famed for its location and spa.
Island hopping can make a two-week honeymoon feel like a three-week trip. Plan well and make sure you both get to see, visit and do what you want, and you’ll find yourself on the holiday of a lifetime.

1. Work out how much you want to travel. Some islands, particularly in destinations such as the Caribbean are far apart and may not be directly connected to one another. Find out how long your transfer times will be between islands and the time between connections. You may not want to spend several days of your honeymoon travelling between destinations.
2. Pack lightly. If you’re moving around a lot, you won’t want to be packing and repacking a mountain of clothes. Also, check how you’ll be travelling between islands as some small planes have luggage weight limits. Moreover, lugging a heavy suitcase around isn’t much fun!
3. End on a high and book the most luxurious resort for last, unless that means a long journey back to the international airport. In which case, if you want to cut down on your time getting home, then book the resort closest to the airport as your last stop.
