5 Fabulous Florida
Why not turn a family trip to Orlando into a honeymoon to remember? Encourage clients to splash out a little on accommodation and they will get the best of both worlds: theme parks aplenty, plus delicious restaurants and sumptuous spas to retreat to when they’d like to wind down from the excitement. The Four Seasons Orlando Walt Disney World Resort, for example, is a mere 15-minute shuttle ride away from the four main Disney parks and features a water park with splashing fountains and a complimentary kids’ club for under-12s. The 10-hectare resort also offers everything newlyweds could need for an elegant honeymoon: a rooftop steakhouse, an 18-hole championship golf course, adult-only pool and
massages using CBD oils in the spa. Book it: Ocean Florida offers a seven-night stay on a room-only basis from £3,229 per person, based on two adults and two children sharing a Golden Oak View Room. The price includes flights on March 24, 2025.

Arctic Adventure
A new British Airways flight to Ivalo in Finnish Lapland, which launches in December, will open up more of the Arctic Circle – and a lodge set in powdery snow could be just the ticket for a kid-friendly honeymoon, come winter. The Wilderness Hotel Inari, a 40-minute drive from Ivalo airport, offers family accommodation with in-room saunas (a true Finnish asset) and space for four. Handy aurora borealis wake-up alarms mean guests can watch the moving display from their window or the neighbouring Inari Lake. During daylight hours, clients can tick off plenty of bucket-list Lapland activities, including husky sledding, ice fishing, a visit
to a reindeer farm and snowmobile rides with kids pulled in a sled behind the guide. Book it: Best Served Scandinavia offers seven nights’ full board in an Arctic Chalet at the Wilderness Hotel Inari for £3,575 per adult and £2,665 per child under 14, for stays from January 7-31, 2025. The prices include flights, transfers, thermal clothing and listed excursions.
