Honeymooning in Lanzarote


A honeymoon is the most important event after a wedding. It is the time a couple gets to spend alone away from the bustle of the wedding period. This is the time a couple takes stock of being husband and wife and of being together for the rest of their lives.

Tradition holds that in days gone by it was believed that a newly wed couple was provided with mead by the rest of the family for a lunar month so that there first month together is filled with nothing but sweetness. It is believed that this tradition gradually developed into the concept of the honeymoon that we have now. Though definitely shorter nowadays in duration that purpose of the honeymoon remains the same.

It is due to this importance that most couples concentrate on maximizing their time together during their honeymoon. There are some destinations that have gained more popularity as honeymoon destinations than others. However, newly weds need not really bust their budget on their honeymoon destination but can instead opt for say a beach holiday which would be more economical and can be turned into a romantic getaway.

Take Lanzarote for example. What immediately springs to mind are endless hordes of visitors, not the most romantic of settings, but with a little planning a beach holiday can be cost effective and romantic.

Imagine being with your loved on the warm soft sandy beaches just relaxing and only getting up to cool off in the clear blue waters. As it is a popular holiday destination Lanzarote has many, many hotels and resorts that cater completely to beach holidays and to honeymooners. Most times guests can enjoy their meals on the beach itself or sample the sea food at the many restaurants that line the beaches.

Also for the more active couples the hotels can organize water sports such as kneeboarding, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and kayaking, experiences that can only serve to increase the bond between the couple. For a truly unique experience try scuba diving or snorkeling and be enchanted by the underwater life.

If you prefer more privacy couples can always rent out one of the many villas available around Lanzarote. This way you and your spouse can enjoy a truly idyllic time together unrestricted by the bounds of a hotel. However, no matter where you stay, be it a hotel, apartment or villa the days can end sipping a cocktail and being bathed by the warm sunsets as you sit on the toasty sand or go for long walks just enjoying the atmosphere.

The lure of the beach is hard to beat and a beachside honeymoon gives you the added bonus of returning home with healthy tans bound to be the envy of all your friends and relatives. Lanzarote is one of the seven Canary Islands so you can always sample the other islands as well for variety.

Lanzarote being a popular destination has its perks as the Lanzarote accommodation providers are well geared to meet guest requirements and so you are assured that you will want for nothing while on your honeymoon there.
