To keep things—appropriately—brief, a mini-moon is a honeymoon (albeit a bit shorter). These neatly packed romantic getaways have become increasingly popular – and for a variety of reasons. Can’t get away from work? Raising a family? Want to spread a single, major honeymoon across a series of bite-sized escapes? This flexibility is the appeal of the mini-moon. But don’t confuse ‘mini’ with ‘minor’ – they’re still packed to the rafters with luxurious lodges, heavenly hotels, and exhilarating experiences. Check out just some of our mini-moon trips below.
If it’s not a mini-moon you want, take a look at all of our honeymoons below.
A reigning bucket list moment for many: witnessing the natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights swirling across the night sky. The perfect destination for a January jaunt, Iceland provides the optimal conditions to grab a glimpse of this otherworldly spectacle and many more wonders beside. Discover glaciers by snowmobile, explore the geothermal Haukadalur valley and hike along Iceland’s spellbinding landscapes.
Where better to experience a mini-moon during Valentine’s Day than in the city of love itself? (even if Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia, also claims that title). Famed for its gourmet dining, stylish fashion, iconic architecture, and of course lauded wine, Paris has it all. Nothing says romance quite like private access to the Eiffel Tower and The Louvre, before popping a bottle of champagne in one of the city’s chicest hotels. You’ll be booking your anniversary back before you even leave for the airport.
For an unusual yet highly adventurous mini-moon combination: ski, sail and hike beneath the northern lights in the wilderness of Norway’s Lofoten Islands. Start with the thrill of speeding down untouched mountains, followed by serene isolation as you sail between towering fjords and finish up with a hike up Reinebringen Mountain. We’ve also picked a secluded spot for you to retreat back to; a glass-fronted sea cabin perched above the water on the private island of Manshausen.
This culture-fueled honeymoon to Morocco will see you wander through the ancient labyrinth streets of Marrakech’s Medina and indulge in the fresh flavours of Jemaa el Fna market. Rise early to catch the sunrise as you soar over the Moroccan desert by hot air balloon, before treating yourselves to a champagne breakfast back on the ground. And for the rest of the day? Discover the Agafay Desert by quad bike, camel or both – the possibilities are endless, just let us know your wish list.
Kickstart spring with a beach -meets-city honeymoon in Spain. In Mallorca, bask in the Mediterranean sunshine in your stunning cliff-side pool and indulge in fresh seafood on the shores. From beach to city; in Barcelona you’ll experience tapas, sangria and the spectacular architecture of Gaudi ahead of a private helicopter tour over the city, taking in the best bird’s-eye views.
With so many outstanding islands to experience around Greece, island hopping between the crystal waters opens many doors for your summer mini-moon. We couldn’t send you on a honeymoon to Greece without whisking you off to Santorini for sunset drinks, secluded bays and fresh seafood, but there’s also more waiting for you a quick boat-ride away. In Folegandros; soft white beaches and turquoise water and in Sifnos; all of the above and a whole lot more.
From the lively pubs and charming folk tales of Dublin to the rolling hills of Kerry and Connemara. Explore the east Irish coast with a multi-day hike along the Spinc trail, stopping along the way at quaint little towns, before travelling to the south-west to check out the sea-crags off the coast of Kerry. Finish your trip with a royal stay at Ashford Castle, from where you’ll discover the beauty of Connemara National Park.
The height of summer is a perfect time to jet off for a mini-moon in Portugal – and this culture-come-countryside itinerary isn’t one to pass up on. You’ll start off in the colourful streets of Lisbon and venture out on a day trip to the white sand beaches of Cabo da Roca, before travelling to the Portuguese countryside in Alentejo. At São Lourenço, the 200-year-old family estate, you’ll horse ride through the orchards, sample wine from the cellar and cosy up to watch the sunset over Alqueva Lake – a perfect end to a perfect day.
Who doesn’t love indulging in fresh pasta, truffles, and Chianti? This is hearty Italian dining at its finest. But let’s not forget riding horseback through the Tuscan hills and exploring Amalfi’s best beaches. You’ll make your home at Casa Angelina, a gorgeous whitewashed hotel along the Amalfi Coast, where the views from the plunge pool are to die for and the champagne is on tap.
Get a taste of the Scandi good life in Copenhagen, wandering along the colourful streets and canals by day and indulging in world-renowned gastronomy by night. After you’re cultured out, escape to the secluded Faroe Islands to sail through vast Viking lands aboard the Norðlýsið ship. Made up of 18 distinct islands, there’s a lot to explore here – hike, helicopter and feast on Nordic cuisine: the choice is yours.
Uncover the mysteries of Jordan’s archaeological and natural sites, from the wonders of ancient Petra to the salt-ringed shores of the Dead Sea. Spend a romantic evening under the stars in Wadi Rum desert, cosying up by the open fire, eating alfresco and laying your head in a luxurious tented suite. And as for the modern capital of Amman, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to cocktail bars, boutique cafes and stylish hotels.
Thanks to quick transport routes between these Central European cities, Prague and Vienna make for a perfect culture-based mini-moon. Even better – these cities boast some of the most heart-warming Christmas markets over the festive period, offering that jolly atmosphere every day; whether it’s in the form of ornaments, art or cuisine. Not to mention the exclusive insider access to mesmerising museums we’ve got lined up for you.
