Honeymoon idea: Bali

Each week we bring you a new and exciting honeymoon idea and destination..and this week we're bringing you the beautiful Bali.

The island is deservedly popular as a honeymoon destination because of its long sandy beaches, warm blue water and picturesque landscape of green hills,  tropical jungles, rivers and volcanoes. 

Honeymooners are also attracted by the friendly, welcoming local population and Bali’s cultural heritage.  The Balinese people are proud of their unique Hindu culture, which can be seen in the numerous ceremonies, festivals, temples and palaces. Gods and spirits have been an important part of Bali's daily life for hundreds of years. Gunung Agung – Bali's holy mountain – is internationally regarded as one of the eight "Chakra" points of the world.

As seen in the movie "Eat, Pray, Love," expect to enjoy a natural getaway in a place where life slows down to take pleasure in the little things....and that makes for a perfect honeymoon destination.

Celebrity honeymoon locations

Most of the time we write blog posts about exotic honeymoon destinations that couples often register for but with all the Brangelina engagement hype we wanted to share with you some details on celebrity honeymoon hot spots and how you can "honeymoon like a celebrity" but not pay for it.

A honeymoon that got a lot of publicity was that of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban.  They enjoyed time together in Bora Bora while staying in an over the water private bungalow. Although their bungalow had its own private beach Bora Bora is well known for more "affordable" over the water bungalows that offer similar privacy.

If you're interested in a celebrity style Bora Bora honeymoon you may want to consider registering for one at www.thehoneymoon.com.

Honeymoon Destination Spotlight: Las Vegas

If you're looking for a fun filled, romantic honeymoon destination with excitement and energy filling the air than a Las Vegas honeymoon is for you.

Destination spotlight: Paris honeymoon

Paris France... awe yes!  What better way to start your new life together than in the city of love...ok, it's the city of lights...logistics. :). 

The first thing you'll want to do before embarking on an adventure of a lifetime is learn 'Je t'aime' which is the standard way to say "I love you" in French.  You may also want to learn 'je t'adore', which means 'I adore you'.  Whether you use 'je t'aime' or 'je t'adore', it's very common to add 'mon amour' (my love) to the end of the phrase in more whimsical situations.

WHEN TO GO
Paris has a unique culture, food and energy but one thing is just like most other destinations...it has four distinct seasons.  Choosing when to visit can make a huge difference in affordability and activity.

• WINTER: If you're looking to save money on your Paris honeymoon you may want to consider visiting Paris in the winter.  Everything from ice skating at the Eiffel Tower to attending an opera you'll be able to find better deals this time of year. 
  
• SPRING: There's nothing like Paris in the spring..in fact it's such a beautiful time that songs are written about it.  With Paris in full bloom romance is easy to come by.  Of course, anytime of year romance is easy to come by on your honeymoon.  Unfortunately, with great weather and beautiful scenery during the season, costs for honeymooners rise dramatically.
  
• SUMMER: Paris residents know that the heat in the summertime can be unbearable and many head for the hills.  However, it's the perfect opportunity to take a boat tour down the Siene River or watch one of Paris' most memorable summer sunsets amidst the Eiffel Tower.  Just keep in mind that summer honeymoons in Paris mean higher costs and longer lines.
  
• FALL: As fall rushes in so do the gorgeous fall foliage and colors.  Costs are lowered in the fall, making it a good time for a honeymoon in Paris.
