Summer is here and many couples are about to tie the knot. With the cost of weddings higher than ever though, it's little wonder that so many brides and grooms-to-be worry about the cost of their honeymoon. Thankfully, the experts at Hays Travel are on hand to help. Many couples choose to book their honeymoon far in advance so they can pay it off in instalments, but others have to wait until nearer the time and see what they can afford. Hays Travel can offer honeymoons to suit every taste and budget, from an exotic African Safari, to a tailor-made tour of the Far East, a romantic UK hotel break to sheer beach relaxation in the Caribbean. "A couple's honeymoon is probably the most important holiday they will ever take and every couple is different," says Emily at Hays Travel, "We listen to our customers and find them the perfect holiday to meet their tastes and budget." Maldives and Egypt Popular Honeymoons One of the most popular honeymoon destinations is the Maldives. Many newly-married couples head to the stunning Indian Ocean islands to experience beach relaxation in its purest form. Hays Travel offer conventional packages flying straight to Male, but they can also arrange exciting twin centre holidays that fly from numerous regional airports and take in places like Sri Lanka and Dubai. Customers who want to stay a little closer to home and leave a little more money towards the wedding fund might prefer a honeymoon in Egypt. "The Egyptian coast has impressive coral reefs, so you can do lots of diving and snorkelling there. Luxury hotels there are brilliant value for money too," says Emily. "Larger resorts like Hurghada and Sharm el Sheikh are quite developed now, but you can still get that swept-away feeling in quieter resorts like Marsa Alam or Mersa Matruh, where you'll find white sandy beaches and turquoise sea. Plus, Egypt is only a five hour flight from the UK with a time difference of two hours." Hays Travel also understand that not everyone wants an expensive, extravagant hotel for their honeymoon. "Some of the world's best hidden gems make perfect honeymoon boltholes: think charming guest houses clinging to Greek hillsides, or Moroccan riads hidden deep within the medina walls of Marrakech. One persons dream honeymoon could be candlelit dinner on a tropical beach, whereas other couples might prefer a chic boutique hotel city break." Weddings Option Hays Travel can also arrange weddings abroad, which often work out much cheaper than ceremonies in the UK. Popular destinations include the Caribbean and Cyprus. "Cyprus is a special place to get married, because legend has it that it is birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love. Couples can have their ceremony in a range of unforgettable locations from pristine beaches to gorgeous Greek orthodox churches. Once they are married, they can spend the rest of their honeymoon on the Island of Love."
