Currently counting down to your autumn wedding but have no idea where to head after to honeymoon? You’re not alone!
While autumn is a season well known for its naturally stunning scenes and beautiful backdrops, making it one of the top times of year to say “I do”, it isn’t revered for its choice of honeymoon destinations. Read our guide to the top autumn honeymoon destinations in the UK and a little further afield.
The Lake District
You don’t have to travel miles to celebrate your newlywed status. The Lake District, or The Lakes as it is often referred to, is a newly crowned UNESCO World Heritage site that’s truly picturesque. Its beauty has inspired writers and artists throughout history so let its rolling landscapes, pretty villages and incredible hikes inspire you.
Cuba
The colourful streets and beautiful climes of Cuba are a must-see, especially in November. With white, sandy beaches able to be explored one day and the vibrant, historic architecture of its towns and cities able to be appreciated the next, there’s a lot to love about this Caribbean island.
The Canary Islands
Whether choosing Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura or Gran Canaria as your autumn honeymoon destination, finding the sun and luxury many couples crave is possible in this popular group of family-friendly islands.
Wave season starts in November too, providing the perfect opportunity for thrill seekers looking to indulge in a truly exhilarating surf experience.
Dubai
As a popular winter sun destination, Dubai is also a great place to soak up the sun and plenty of luxury on your autumn honeymoon as Dubai Travel Planner explains:
“The one thing you can be guaranteed when choosing a destination such as Dubai for your honeymoon is that it will be exotic, luxurious, and plush. With all-year-round sunshine, stunning architecture and landscape, luxurious shopping malls, and opulent dining options, honeymooners can expect to be treated like royalty.”
The Galápagos Islands
If adventure is your idea of the perfect honeymoon, there’s no better place to visit than the Galápagos Islands. Known for its incredible ecology and array of animal species, this group of islands in the eastern Pacific Ocean is a natural paradise, and local wildlife is particularly active during autumn.
Cambridge
If you have a weekend to play with, rather than a week or two, consider a city break in nearby Cambridge.
Its charming cobbled streets and longstanding reputation as an epicentre for academia make it a fantastic place to spend time together as newlyweds, especially as the seasons change. Take a stroll through history and then along the banks of the scenic River Cam before snuggling up in a corner of a local pub.
