The news broke recently that the world’s most eligible bachelor Prince Harry of Wales asked the American beauty Meghan Markle to marry him- and the UK has gone Royal Wedding crazy once again! With Royal Weddings, follow Royal Honeymoons, and Harry and Meghan have a lot to look forward to if William and Kate’s romantic trip to the Seychelles is anything to go by!
“Where will Prince Harry and Meghan Markle go on honeymoon?”
It’s always fun to speculate, and at Turquoise we have put together a list of where we think this modern couple could enjoy the first few weeks of their married life…
Sail and Stay in the Caribbean
What could be a better romantic break in the sunshine than sailing round the stunning Spice Island of Grenada, followed by the Grenadines? Fantastic snorkelling, bustling island towns, romantic picnic lunches, total relaxation and charming Caribbean locals could draw Harry and Meghan…
South Africa in style
Dramatic coastlines, country retreats and delicious wineries are perfect for the adventurous Meghan and Harry, looking to add style and elegance to a trip with loads of character and some of the best opportunities to spot African wildlife. Top it all off by travelling through to Zambia, taking a flight over the spectacular Victoria falls and lunch at the world’s most exclusive picnic spot Livingstone Island.
Heavenly Cook Islands
Perhaps the newlyweds will be looking for beach paradise, which they’ll certainly be getting in Raratonga and Aitutaki. These lush islands are also the home to the Cook Islanders culture, customs and friendly service. With stars in the night sky as your ceiling, soft sand between your toes and crystal-clear lagoons as your swimming pool- the Cook Islands offer a honeymoon which is a little slice of heaven.
Vietnam & Cambodia
If the royal couple are after destinations that will steal their hearts, then Vietnam and Cambodia are a total cultural discovery. The food, the sounds, the history and the heavenly island of Song Saa- if Harry and Meghan are looking for lifelong memories then Vietnam and Cambodia really are the places to go.
Seychelles Island Hopping
Prince Harry might like to follow in his brother’s footsteps with a trip to the total sanctuary found at one of the most exclusive resorts in the world-North Island. Add another layer of eco-luxury to a trip like this and twin it Six Senses Zil Payson for ultimate Seychellois romance.
‘Over the top luxury’ Jamaica
The warm welcome of the Jamaican people makes it a real stand out honeymoon destination. Blissful beaches, fresh spicy food, rugged coastline, history and classic luxury service are all perfect for a couple looking to really escape our hectic European lifestyle. Jamaican smiles could be enough to tempt Harry and Meghan to this wonderful country.
Sublime South – New Zealand
Without a doubt, New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Romance awaits those who choose a two-week self-drive through the wine-making region of Blenheim, to swimming with dolphins in Kaikoura, to foodie Christchurch and finishing in picture-perfect Queenstown. Glorious scenery, peaceful hideaways and world-class cuisine might tempt the royal couple.
California and Tahiti
Flying from the cooler climate of the UK after what will surely be a stupendous wedding, Miss Markle might like to visit her family back on her home turf in sunny California. This works very well with a honeymoon to one of the most luxurious stays in the South Pacific- the jaw-dropping scenery of Bora Bora might be enough to cinch these newlyweds.
Botswana and Mozambique
Beautiful Botswana holds a very special place in the hearts of Harry and Meghan. This is where the couple went on one of their first romantic trips together, and the main diamond of Meghan’s engagement ring originates from Botswana. Harry has also visited Mozambique before to support the HALO trust demining charity- and the couple have stated how their passion for good causes brought them together. History aside, if they want to return to these countries then the magic wilderness of Botswana and pristine waters of Mozambique could be a potential winner!
