As newlyweds, you will want to begin this exciting new chapter with the perfect honeymoon. One of the best options for a romantic honeymoon – yet one often overlooked – is a road trip. A road trip allows you to discover new places, travel at your own pace, and enjoy quality time together. Read on for a few tips for planning the perfect adventure honeymoon road trip.
Select Your Dream Route
On a road trip, it is all about the route rather than the destination. You and your partner should discuss a route that you will both enjoy, and there are plenty of stunning road trips in the UK. One of the most popular options is North Coast 500, which takes you on a 500-mile trip around the north coast of Scotland. The Pembrokeshire Coast 200 is another scenic route showing you Pembrokeshire’s breathtaking natural beauty.
There are also many great options in Europe to consider. A few of the most popular options to research include:
- Iceland Ring Road
- Epirus, Greece
- Pula to Dubrovnik
- Northern Lakes, Italy
Choose the Right Vehicle
You must also make sure that you choose the right vehicle for your trip. As you will be covering many miles and spending many hours in the vehicle, it needs to be a car that is comfortable, efficient, reliable, and safe. A campervan can be an excellent choice for a road trip as you will be able to bring home comforts with you, benefit from having plenty of space, and be able to sleep in the vehicle (this can keep accommodation costs down). Before setting off on your journey, ensure your campervan is adequately covered with motorhome insurance to protect against incidents and for peace of mind.
Packing Essentials for Comfort & Convenience
Packing for a road trip can be challenging as you want to minimise how much you take while still having everything you need for a comfortable trip. Key items include:
- Comfortable clothing
- Toiletries
- Cooking supplies
- Food and drink
- Entertainment
Ensuring Safety and Preparedness
You should always make sure your vehicle is in good condition before hitting the road. This means inspecting the tires, checking the pressure and tread depth, testing the brakes and lights, and topping up fluids. You should also have an emergency kit in the vehicle.
Find Romantic Accommodation
Make sure that you book accommodation in advance so that you can find charming, romantic places to stop off. This could be a cute B&B, a luxury hotel, or even a scenic campsite.
Make the Most of Your Journey
Finally, you need to make the most of this special trip. You should find experiences and activities to enjoy along the way, such as stopping for a picnic, attending a local market, or watching the sunset together.
A road trip can be the perfect honeymoon for newlyweds, and this post should help you plan a romantic adventure you will always cherish.
