The ceremony may be over, the last glass of champagne poured, but the honeymoon is where the magic deepens. It’s the start of something quieter, more personal, more indulgent. Just the two of you, away from the crowd, with nothing but time and sun on your side.
Whether you’re floating in the turquoise shallows of the Maldives, waking to the rustle of the savannah in Kenya or simply chasing golden hour along the Amalfi Coast, the honeymoon calls for a different kind of curation. Fewer clothes, better fabrics. Beauty that breathes in the heat. Skincare that resets after weeks of wedding prep. Fragrance that will take you back in an instant.
This is the edit to help you get it right. From relaxed tailoring for him to barely-there dresses for her. From multi-tasking SPF to candles worth packing. From the luggage you’ll keep for life to the little luxuries that make a hotel room feel like home.
Consider this your post-wedding guide to travelling well. Whether you’re jetting off next week or dreaming ahead, this is everything you need to know, pack and book for a honeymoon that lives up to the promise. Here’s The Honeymoon Edit…
