DESTINATIONS WOW FACTOR | WEDDINGS & HONEYMOONS 3 SAIL AROUND SANTORINI AT SUNSET


For a closer-to-home honeymoon, it’s hard to beat Santorini, and no couple’s trip here would be complete without a romantic sunset sailing. For clients after exactly that, Elegant Resorts recommends Canaves Oia Suites, whose honeymoon package includes a five-hour private catamaran trip that takes guests to idyllic spots as the island’s caldera is bathed in a rainbow of colours. Back at the resort there’s plenty more in the way of scenic sunset views, with cliffside suites each


featuring their own private infinity pool and terraces overlooking the Aegean. Book it: Elegant Resorts offers five nights in a Junior Suite with plunge pool from £2,335, including a sunset catamaran tour, private transfers, flights and UK lounge passes (for travel October 1-November 15). elegantresorts.co.uk


arrive at YOUR RESORT by HELICOPTER


There’s making an entrance – and then there’s swooping down in a helicopter to your own private retreat overlooking the soaring Piton peaks. All hail Saint Lucia’s Jade Mountain Resort, where the mode of arrival is just the first of many wow moments. Others include the panoramic views from your Sanctuary suite (where there’s no fourth wall, meaning a breeze drifts in from the ocean) and a private candlelit dinner on a castaway beach accompanied by violinists, which is every bit as


blissfully surreal as it sounds. Book it: Caribtours offers seven nights’ all-inclusive in a Sky Whirlpool Suite from £4,399 per person, including return helicopter transfers and a bottle of champagne on arrival, for travel June 1-October 31. caribtours.co.uk

FLOAT ABOVE THE MASAI MARA IN A HOT-AIR BALLOON


Picture floating above the savannah against a sunrise sky, with lions, elephants, giraffes and rhinos roaming in the bush beneath you. Abercrombie & Kent offers the chance to do just that as an add-on to its Classic Kenya itinerary, with a cooked breakfast and champagne toast to the happy couple back on the ground afterwards. Add in 4x4 drives at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (home to East Africa’s largest rhino population) and time to flop on the white-sand beaches of the Kenyan coast,


and this is the type of honeymoon that wows from start to finish. Book it: Abercrombie & Kent offers a tailor-made Classic Kenya trip from £6,599 per person for 11 nights, including accommodation (full-board while on safari), flights, transfers and hot-air balloon ride. abercrombiekent.co.uk
