Your honeymoon should be a
celebration of your relationship –
as well as those long months of
wedding planning! – so why not
spoil yourselves rotten with a once-
in-a-lifetime trip.
Barefoot
Traveller
, an independent tour
operator specialising in bespoke
trips across the globe, presents a
luxury 16-day honeymoon that will
take you along the road less
travelled by making sure you get a
taste of everything that these
paradise islands have to offer.
SRI LANKA
Your first stop – exotic Sri Lanka. With
a rich heritage spanning thousands of
years, gorgeous golden beaches, and
fascinating local wildlife, Sri Lanka is a
delight for all of the senses.
On your first day, you’ll settle into
your intimate five-star resort over-
looking a lagoon conveniently situated
a stone’s throw away from the airport.
Spend the rest of your day at leisure
relaxing by one of the longest pools in
Sri Lanka.
The next few days will be jam-
packed with experiences you’ll
remember for a lifetime, staying in
luxury five-star hotels to catch up on
your beauty sleep when the night rolls
around.
Your tour of this magical country
will take you to the elephant orphanage
in Pinnawela and the historical capital
of Polonnaruwa, where magnificent
ancient ruins abound. Heading on to
Kandy, you’ll be treated with a visit to
the amazing first century Dambulla,
home of the best-preserved cave
temple complex in Sri Lanka.
From Kandy, travel through beauti-
ful countryside to Nuwara Eliya by train,
watching the world go by from a seat
on the panoramic observation deck.
In your last few days in Sri Lanka,
make sure to take advantage of a trek
to the waterfalls at Horton Plains
National Park – and an opportunity to
pick and blend your own tea! You’ll
round off your trip in Yala, embarking
on an exciting safari trip, and relaxing
at leisure in your jungle hideaway.
THE MALDIVES
The great escape continues when you
take a hop, skip and a jump over to the
Maldives. This idyllic cluster of islands
is popular among honeymooners
thanks to the picturesque turquoise
water and white, sandy beaches.
When you land in the capital Malé,
you’ll be whisked away by speedboat
to Bodu Hithi island. As well as being
waited on hand and foot at a luxury
island villa with its own private garden
and pool, you can wile away the hours
sipping cocktails as the sun sets – or
jump right into the action with an
array of watersports; the spectacular
coral and local sealife will leave you
breathless.
Want some variation? The trip is
fully customisable so that you can tailor
it around your exact tastes. Whatever
your pleasure, you’ll never want to
come back home again – but at least
you’ll have all those fab holiday snaps to
entertain your family and friends!
