If you were going on honeymoon in September, where would you go?
Hausa · 23/03/2022 23:15
Ideally with warm sandy beaches, decent nightlife and good food. Anywhere in the world, money not really a factor.
Where would you personally go and why?

@sanityisamyth Christ, why?! Do they live somewhere fabulous?

My dd has been living and working on Bali (in Canngu) since last September and says the number of tourists has soared in last fortnight and is as busy as when she first visited 3 years ago. All the beach bars are v busy and traffic is chaotic again and apartment rental prices have also increased to meet demand
Having said that she adores living there ( the food is amazing)and she has explored extensively since moving there , learnt to surf! and has been to the outlying Gili islands on several occasions which are most definitely worth a visit or an early morning boat trip to see Dolphins
We're hoping to visit her, but unfortunately can't manage until next year -Our wedding anniversary is September and we're going to the Maldives again the weather is still considered v good then as weather is extremely localised and can be sunny on 1 island and raining 10 mins later as it can be anywhere in the tropics

We quickly realised September wasn't a great month weather wise in the Caribbean and others. We did Singapore then Bali/Lombok and loved it, super cheap for villas with private pools so I would definitely recommend that!

Yorkshire! It's a lovely house, but definitely not what I expected. Staying with your dad and step mum for a week!!

I wouldn't call it an objection so much as I found the whole place really underwhelming. The beaches were ok, the hotels we stayed in were lovely to be fair but I found Sanur and Kuta just didn't really inspire me as towns. I can't put my finger on it but left me with no desire to return. Perhaps some areas are nicer, Seminyak sounds like it might be ok.

How about Madagascar? Right time to visit, amazing beaches.

(Disclaimer: I haven't actually been there but it was on our list for honeymoon)

Is Thailand the right weather? I haven’t been but I imagine the there’s good nightlife and you could stay in a couple of destinations.
I loved Mauritius, I went in November but the place I went to was quite windy so I couldn’t do the water sports I enjoy every day. I think you have to do your research for Mauritius. It’s beautiful though and lots of good day trips are available.

Maldives is ok in September, but there is no nightlife on most islands. A few bars at most.
TheMoonIsPink · 25/03/2022 19:53
I'd go to The Seychelles and stay in the Four Seasons Mahe then FS Desroches
Or Soneva Gili in the Maldives
Or Hotel Santa Catarina on the Amalfi coast with a couple of nights on Capri
I rate the Caribbean and Mayan coast but it's the wrong time of year.
