Now that we’re back to traveling, newlyweds are getting back to honeymooning…with a vengeance. After two-ish years of postponements and cancellations, couples want a getaway that’s even more special. Birkat Elyon has witnessed this craving for “better” for years, and they’ve been delivering in the form of high-quality cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings. So, here’s what we’ve been hearing about the top honeymoon trends for 2022.
UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES
Beyond picturesque destinations, more couples want a once-in-a-lifetime experience on their honeymoon. These might include sightseeing active volcanoes via helicopter, enjoying a super-luxe meal cooked by a personal chef, or staying in a glass hut that allows you to watch the Northern Lights. These kinds of memories will stay with you for years later.
ROOMS WITH A “WOW” VIEW
For 2022, a standard suite just won’t do. Honeymooners are looking for a room with an exceptional view – mountains, lakes, a stunning ocean scape. But the additional element is proximity, being able to easily access that view via a short stroll or hike.
RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL
More couples are considering honeymoons that are sensitive to the planet. Whether it’s choosing lodging that’s eco-friendly or more mindful of recycling, to destinations where they can volunteer to help out Mother Earth, these are becoming ever-more popular. In fact, many luxury hotels even offer a free night’s stay for couples who pitch in locally.
WELLNESS GETAWAYS
Planning a wedding – especially after what we’ve all been through these last few years – is super stressful. So a honeymoon where you both can “reboot” your health is an attractive option. This might include a full spa stay, or a destination where things like sunrise yoga, massages, and a locally sourced organic menu is included. Alternatively, couples are opting for somewhere where they can be active, with snorkeling, biking, or hiking.
STAYING CLOSER TO HOME
With last-minute changes happening with flights and ever-evolving COVID restrictions, many couples are choosing to save their big, splurge-y trip for later on. In its place, a honeymoon that’s a little shorter (a “mini-moon,” as it were) at a destination bit closer to home. The good news is that hotels and resorts of all types are capitalizing on this trend adding lots of creative activities and options to make even a short getaway memorable.
Wherever you decide to honeymoon, your dazzling CZ jewelry (like what you’ll find at Birkat Elyon) will give you extra peace of mind. That’s because if it ever gets lost or stolen while you’re away, you won’t be out a fortune. That’s why cubic-zirconia pieces are the choice of many smart celebrities!
