5 Star Weddings: Why are couples seeking more experiential honeymoons?

Paul Joseph: Following the rise of the adventure honeymoon, more couples are moving away from the traditional slow-paced relaxation breaks, and are looking to fill their honeymoon with richer experiences. Whether learning to cook healthy Vietnamese cuisine on a cultural honeymoon in Southeast Asia, or white water rafting and zip lining on an adventure honeymoon in Costa Rica, couples are looking to discover new experiences they will remember and share for years to come.

5 Star Weddings: Why are attitudes changing among newlyweds with more not content to fly & flop?

Paul Joseph: Attitudes have changed amongst newlyweds with more no longer content to laze pool or beachside, but wanting to return from their honeymoon feeling healthier, fitter and spiritually richer. Nowadays, many couples have been together for a number of years before getting married and having already done the typical fly & flop holidays, so when searching for their honeymoon are  looking for a different experience.

5 Star Weddings: Why do couples want to begin married life healthy and fit?

Paul Joseph:  After all the hard work in the lead up to the wedding, more couples are falling in love with the healthy way of living, where keeping active has become part of their daily routine. Not wanting to throw in the towel on fitness as soon as the wedding band hits their finger, many couples want to begin married life as the best versions of themselves. Looking and feeling fit and healthy is no longer a goal resigned solely to the wedding day but is a lifestyle couples want to maintain throughout their marriage, both for themselves and their partner.
