Medium / Long Haul Honeymoon Destinations?

Hi All

Getting married next spring, and am looking to sort the honeymoon for late April / mid May. Budget up to £5k for adult only all inclusive. Criteria:

- looking to go for 7-10 days depending on length of flight

- want to avoid overly crowded, large resorts

- we’re going mainly for the sun, so watersports and zip wires aren’t for us, but a little local exploration wouldn’t go amiss, so needs to be safe (I hear bad things about Jamaica and Cancun / Mexico generally)

- looking for a destination with a bit of a wow factor

- been looking at sandals, but are there any other similar companies like that for the Far East for example?

Any resort and hotel ideas will be gratefully received, cheers data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Maldives? Malaysia? Thailand?

Gonna be hot in Thailand at that time.

Stayed there with friends several years ago.One of the nicest hotels I've ever been to.

Fair amount of honeymooners/wedding stuff going on while i was there.

Felt like like you had the whole beach to yourself at times (visited Oct so just the start of the peak season).

Thanks, that’s very useful. Unfortunately the website for the Katathani resort is a nightmare to navigate on the phone so will have to check it out tomorrow at my desk. However I didn’t see any all inclusive options, so that could be a deal breaker.

We did sandals in St Lucia, halcyon beach. Absolutely superb and worth every penny. I’m sure there is a thread in here where I talked about it and another member went and loved it too

Edit : quick search later

The Honeymoon is booked! St Lucia here we come....

Got it, and a good read too, although maybe some things will have changed in six years. St Lucia is high on the shortlist. Thanks for responding!

Likely it’s changed, hope Agnes is still there but she wasn’t a spring chicken then! If anything sandals will have improved, they tend to invest and keep a high standard data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

if you do - then go for the all inclusive plus package and the cocktails are amazing... table service with them on the private beach too... data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

yep, we're looking for all inclusive, as well as, budget permitting, a room with a private pool. I can see the resort offers that, so it's all down to availability and whether we opt for short haul instead.....
