Overview

Not everyone will desire a two week honeymoon or even have the time, but this doesn’t mean there has to be a compromise. A minimoon can be the perfect stopgap for those pressed for time or those who are looking to be budget wise, by providing a fast paced and romantic mini adventure which is rewarding in its endeavour. A minimoon is not always a bite-size honeymoon, because for many newly weds the minimoon is merely the first of two adventures, giving couples the chance to save and go on a longer honeymoon at a later more convenient date, perhaps even in next calendar year.

A minimoon will avoid the possibility of jet lag in the form of a long haul flight and with a minimoon you can still grab the best of what’s to offer with an elegant mixture of style, luxury and adventure, without the need to travel too far from home.
