Gay-Friendly Honeymoons {South Africa}
South Africa Rich
in flora and fauna diversity, the choices are endless for safaris as
you check off your Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino)
bucket list.
“During
my long walk to freedom, I had the rare privilege to visit Londolozi.
There I saw people of all races living in harmony amidst the beauty that
mother nature offers” – Nelson Mandela
Cape
Town and its environs are home to such intensive culinary adventures
that it can be difficult to imagine how to see it all, which is why
having a Honeymoon Islands bespoke safari specialist custom-craft your
Southern Africa itinerary may be just the ticket. These experiences have
made even the hardest-to-please foodies weep with joy. A five-course
food and wine pairing at Reuben’s; farm to table perfection at Chef
Franck Dangereux’s The Foodbarn; exploring Cape Town’s Malay Quarter;
and exploring the Cape Winelands. A food and wine adventure can also be
easily expanded to include time at Singita Private Game Reserve, whose
superb game viewing is an easy flight from Cape Town via Johannesburg.
Safari.
The very word evokes a flurry of imagination. Majestic mountains,
stunning savannahs, breathtaking vistas and wildlife beyond your
imagination. This is safari.
Londolozi
is situated on the Sand River in the very heart of the Sabi Sand Game
Reserve. This reserve in turn forms part of the Greater Limpopo
Transfrontier Park, a vast and growing area, currently covering 6
million acres and incorporating the famous Kruger National Park. This
rich, wild wonderland assures exceptional game drives and a true
wilderness experience.
But
what makes a Honeymoon Islands bespoke safari different? Experienced
safari guides pointing out something that the untrained eye misses. The
friendly staff taking care of every detail. The Pinto family of Micato
inviting guests travelling to East Africa to their home to dine. Fellow
travelers going from strangers to friends one incredible experience at a
time. Daily surprises, nightly treats.
Honeymoon
Islands South Africa partners Micato sojourns are deliberately
luxurious. Safari lodges enchant with such unadulterated luxuries as
private plunge pools and personal butlers. Itineraries offer an
irresistible array of experiences from the sophisticated pleasures of
Cape Town to the celebrated savannahs of the Serengeti and the near
spiritual beauty of the Kalahari.
In
addition to providing every traveler with an incomparable safari
experience, Honeymoon Island and Micato is dedicated to providing
impoverished children with an education. Hence, the groundbreaking
Micato “One for One” Commitment. For every safari sold, Honeymoon
Islands in partnership with Micato will pay the school fees for an
African child who would otherwise stay home due to extreme poverty.
This is safari with Honeymoon Islands Micato. No wonder readers of
Travel+Leisure magazine have voted Micato “World’s Best Safari
Outfitter” a record nine times.

Gay-Friendly Honeymoons {Greece}
Greece
When
it comes to history, it doesn’t get much more ancient than Greece. In a
place where gods and goddesses mingle, this birthplace of the Western
world stirs the spirit, boasting icons such as the Acropolis and its
Parthenon. Along with sizzling nightlife, Mediterranean paradise awaits
just offshore in the gay-friendly Greek Isles.
The Greek island of Mykonos has been described as having a crazy nightlife that is very diverse.
This
is certainly true when compared to some of the other nearby islands.
In fact, Mykonos is known best for its beaches, nightclubs, and hotels.
The people of Mykonos are accepting of everyone no matter what their
lifestyle, and they’re always ready to party. The Kivotos Hotel,
is one of the best boutique hotels in Mykonos, offering aesthetically
outstanding Mykonos. Another great property is the five-star Myconian Ambassador Hotel,
a member of Relais & Châteaux offers guests a luxury experience in
the dazzling town of Mykonos. The hotel overlooks the famous Mykonos
beach Platis Yialos, where you you can relax and enjoy the gourmet
Mediterranean cuisine or spend a relaxing day at the spa.

Gay-Friendly Honeymoons {Hawaii}
Hawaii
Maui offers
a variety of sights and experiences. The quaint old towns of Lahaina
and Wailuku are fun for exploring, shopping, and dining. The views from
atop 10,000-foot Mt. Haleakala (especially popular at sunrise and
sunset) are well worth the winding drive past fields of protea and other
exotic flowers. The long, winding road to the village of Hana is lined
with waterfalls and lush tropical foliage. During the winter months, the
waters surrounding Maui are ideal for whale-watching.
Overlooking the gentle waters of Wailea Beach, luxurious Four Seasons Resort Maui,
with its ever-attentive hotel staff and the largest luxury resort guest
rooms and suites on the island, epitomises a classical Hawaiian palace
resort. A stroll through fragrant plumeria trees and art-laden public
areas reveals a study in relaxed elegance. Four Seasons Resort Maui hugs
the sun-soaked Wailea Beach of Hawaii’s second largest island. In the
distance, lush valleys carved into mountains reveal the inspiration for
Maui’s nickname: Valley Isle.
Kauai,
the most tropical of all the islands, is quiet and tranquil. The
island's scenic beauty, which includes waterfalls, sea cliffs, arid
canyons and scores of beautiful white sand beaches, has served as the
backdrop for many cinematic films. Waimea Canyon, "the Grand Canyon of
the Pacific," is a must-see. Helicopter tours are popular, as the
spectacular sea cliffs of the Na Pali coast and the crater of Mt.
Waialeale (one of the wettest spots on earth), are not accessible by
road. If you're looking for natural beauty and adventure, Kauai's the
place to find it.
An extraordinary experience awaits you at Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa.
You’ll discover the true spirit of grand Hawaiian hospitality at every
turn in this luxury beach resort. Relax in elegantly designed guestrooms
offering stunning ocean, garden or pool views from a private lanai.
Delight in the pampering services of our world-class spa, or challenge
yourself on our championship golf course. Choose from extensive dining
options, including poolside casual and an outstanding authentic Grand
Hyatt Kauai Luau.
Larger than all of the other islands combined, Hawaii
is known locally as the Big Island. Kilauea, the world's most active
volcano, has been in a state of activity since 1983, and its fiery
creation of hot, new land is often spectacular. The rich fertile soil
left by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of fire, produces orchids, coffee and
macadamia nuts. There are black sand and white sand beaches, gorgeous
waterfalls and hidden valleys. From the Ka'u desert to the Ola'a rain
forest to the snow-capped peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, the Big
Island is a splendor of ecological diversity. The majority of hotels and
resorts are on the drier and hotter west side, where Kailua-Kona is the
main town. The east side, where Hilo is the population center, is very
lush and tropical.
Housed in intimate two-storey bungalows, Four Seasons Resort Hualālai
at Historic Ka‘ūpūlehu's 243 guest rooms and suites exude a nostalgic
sense of Hawaii’s Golden Age. A peerless collection of native Hawaiian
art complements expansive, open-air living spaces and Island-inspired
décor. Set on Hawaii Island’s exclusive Kona-Kohala Coast, this
showpiece oceanfront resort captures the essence of Hawaiian design,
culture and tradition.
