Getting married and honeymooning in the tropics is something most couples long for but what if you’re looking for more than white sands and sparkling seas. Here at Sunwing Weddings, we’re asked daily about our favourite resorts, so we decided to share our pick of the best tropical destination wedding and honeymoon venues that offer a little extra besides. Whether it’s world-class dining, off the beaten track eco tours or state-of-the-art sport facilities we’ve got inspiration for you.
Ultimate Gastronomy
Couples in search of top dining are sure to appreciate the generous All-In Luxury™ experience at Royalton Riviera Cancun Resort and Spa where the wedding reception could be a private dinner at Zen Teppanyaki restaurant, a Mexican banquet at Agave or the best of Mediterranean fare served in the arched wine cellar at OPA!
Afterwards newlyweds keen to get hands on in the kitchen could honeymoon at El Dorado Seaside Suites where they’ll get to take part in cooking classes, pick herbs in the on-site greenhouse and enjoy tequila and mezcal tasting as well as experiencing dining in specialty first-class restaurants and premium cocktails.
Ultimate Exploration
Accounting for just 0.03% of the world’s surface area, yet boasting 6% of its biodiversity, Costa Rica is the perfect backdrop for a wedding and honeymoon packed with natural discoveries. After tying the knot at Barcelo Langosta Beach Resort, which along with an idyllic beachfront setting also offers a large pool complex, spa and a wide range of water and land sports to experience as part of the generous all inclusive package, newlyweds could start their married life with a host of memorable adventures – from volcano treks and mangrove river cruises to hikes through lush rainforest to bring them up close and personal with some of Costa Rica’s rare fauna – from brightly-coloured tree frogs to white-headed capuchin monkeys.
Ultimate Escape
Offering an enticing blend of culture and natural beauty, Cuba could be the perfect venue for your destination wedding and honeymoon. Why not exchange your vows in the legendary capital, Havana? Boasting a pool and fitness complex together with a Michelin-inspired restaurant, the recently-opened Memories Miramar Havana could be the perfect base. Then leave your guests to their adventures and head off to the adults only Royalton Cayo Santa Maria on the diminutive Cuban islet of Cayo Santa Maria. Voted the number one all inclusive resort in the world by TripAdvisor at the 2014 Travellers’ Choice Awards, couples are welcomed with cocktails upon arrival and looked after by butlers 24 hours a day. The lagoon-like pool area is dotted with elegant pool cabanas shaded with flowing white drapes to relax in. Dining options are varied across six restaurants and bars and round the clock, complimentary room service could also be perfect for romantic dinner for two.
Ultimate Activity
The white sand beaches of Jamaica could be the perfect backdrop for your ceremony but afterwards it doesn’t all have to be about relaxation. Newlyweds who would much rather be pitting their wits against each during a game of tennis than taking lounging on the beach, should head to Jewel Paradise Cove Resort. As well as offering a host of stunning wedding locations, this varied resort also has a long list of all-day fun in the sun activities from reggae dance lessons and tag football to beach cricket and nature trail hikes. Also on offer are an enhanced water sports activities centre, fitness centre, 10 station paracourse fitness trail and complimentary green fees at the neighbouring Runaway Bay Golf Club.
Ultimate Serenity
If you want to choose a destination wedding venue that will allow you to truly unwind and recharge after the big day then Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita Resort should be at the top of your list. Their award-winning Thalasso Centre and spa will let you soothe away the stresses of all that wedding planning with a signature Sanitas per Aqua (meaning ‘to heal through water’) treatment. Or you could try an ancient Mayan therapy or start married life together relaxing with a couples massage.
