Our favourite experiences and hotels for a luxury honeymoon in California
California. Known to many as the Golden State – and with good reason; everything about this sun-kissed state carries a little added shine. But there’s so much more to California than swaying palm trees fringing golden beaches and sunsets dipping into the Pacific Ocean. Take a step back from the beach and into the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains and the towering Redwood forests and discover a hefty helping of the great outdoors.
Where the stars don’t shine, city lights twinkle in their place for those who prefer the bright lights, and these bright lights belong to cities famous the world over. Wind your way up Lombard Street in San Francisco, walk the Walk (of Fame) in L.A. and let gas lamps light your way in San Diego.
Whether it’s the latest tech update, the newest blockbuster or a must-eat dish, California will keep you on your toes. From Silicon Valley to the Hollywood Hills, there’s always something new and exciting here – and you can guarantee it will be happening here first.
