We are getting married next year and have started to look at ideas for a honeymoon. It will be September Next year. For around 10 nights.

We haven’t had a holiday for a few years so don’t really know where to start with this stuff. So looking for some recommendations or tips from those who travel more.

Ideally it would be somewhere 5* and all inclusive. But with the option to go out and about in the day.

We like the look of the IKOS resorts.

Budget wise nothing massive by PH standards but still a healthy amount probably around 7k for hotel and flights.

A best man speech recently: Apparently the happy couple are going to Wales on honeymoon, the groom told me he’s going to Bangor for the whole week.

You’d be fairly limited with the getting out and about during the day at Ikos. Yes, you’ll get a Tesla for a day but most of the resorts are reasonable far from any sort of hustle and bustle. Definitely not walking distance etc!

Daios Cove is my personal favourite and where we went on honeymoon last year. All inclusive, great food, great drinks, great accommodation, great service etc.

Email me if you want some more personalised help. Sure one of my team would be able to give you a good steer on options etc.

OP: I went to Halkidiki some years ago, but not to Ikos.
I found the beaches were very good. Plenty of dolphins around when we were there.
I had to google Ikos Resorts. I saw our flag carrier tours co. uses them so I'd guess they're good to very good, since Luxair Tours are quite fussy, which is good for the consumer.

I used that line in a best man speech in Sep 2022....
I queried why they were honeymooning in Wales since the bride is BA flight crew, then ... he told me he's going to Bangor for a week

Have a look at the Coco de Mer hotel on Praslin Island in the Seychelles. My wife and I went there shortly after we got married and loved it.

10th anniversary in August 2009 we stayed at La Reserve on Praslin.
I just checked and it's under renovation until December 2024, which would suit OP's timing.
Weather was good at that time of year. Maldives, for example, can have very heavy storms August / September.
We're both scuba divers, and the local dive school on Praslin, Octopus, only had 4 of us on each boat for dives: brilliant!

We went to Tenerife, Nice hotel near Siam Park. Great food, facilities etc and then for a few days we went to the water park which was fantastic. Not a massive amount but it was fantastic.
