Where to Honeymoon in August – the perfect escape

Bora Bora

Let’s talk August honeymoons. It’s one of the most popular months to get married and jet off somewhere dreamy. But let’s be honest. It’s also one of the busiest times of the year to travel due to school holidays, with higher prices and crowds in all the places you were hoping would be peaceful. Sound familiar?

The good news - your honeymoon doesn’t have to be stressful. It doesn’t have to be overrun with people. And it definitely doesn’t have to be ordinary.

Whether you’re imagining candlelit dinners in Santorini, waterfall adventures in Bali or waking up in a luxury safari tent with elephants in the distance, your dream August honeymoon is possible. And I’ll help you get there.

Why August is a bit tricky

It’s a peak month which can throw up a few challenges. Lots of couples worry about sky high prices, fully booked hotels and having to compromise on the destination they’ve always dreamed of. Some want luxury without the crowds. Others want an adventure but have no idea where is hot and dry.

This is where I come in. You tell me what you want your honeymoon to feel like and I’ll get to work behind the scenes. I’ll compare options, check availability, lock in exclusive offers and pick out places that fit you perfectly. I’m ABTA bonded, your trips with flights are fully ATOL protected, and I’ve been matching couples with their perfect honeymoons for years.
