Honeymoon ideas for October

[LD1Racing]

Any suggestions? Were planning on French Polynesia but October isn't the best time of year for that. Is October too early for the European ski season? Open to any Ideas, we are both pretty well travelled already, she want's a beach, over to you...

Any particular island/resort you'd recommend?

[kelk]

OH and I are doing our honeymoon in September and we're doing Kenya then Mauritius

[OneDs]

We went to the Hilton on Rangali Island.

It's now branded as a Conrad Hilton

A sea plane journey from main Male airport and there were two islands joined by a bridge, it was absolutley bliss for our two weeks, plently of water sports, a spa with glass floors so you could watch the sea life during a massage for two. Even an underwater restaurant, isolated island meals, beautiful sunsets etc...

Certainly not cheap, but hopefully we will go back one day before it disappears.

Mauritius is available that time of year too.

Who told you it was a bad time of year to go Tahiti in October, Liam?

It's the end of the dry season, start of the warm season, and you should get decent clear skies and good sea conditions...

I know the place pretty well and can give you some advice/assistance if you want.

I know the boss has to move his yacht out of the Pacific tropical zone by then for insurance purposes, similar to leaving the Caribbean at the end of April.

We couldn't quite stretch to Governors so we've got a 5 night safari in 3 different lodges, and then les Pavillons (reopened last year apparently after massive updates) I really can't wait !!

I've been in Tahiti in October and had fab weather and excellent sea conditions. Traditionally the windy season is July & August when the South Easterlies come in from the Antarctic and make Tahiti (and most of the S Pacific) blowy and rough. October is a good transition month between the drier windier season of May-Sept and the wetter calmer seasons of Nov - April. So you should get the best of both worlds! (Hopefully calm and dry rather than wet & windy!!!!!)

We're doing Kuramathi in the Maldives later on this year. Seen quite a lot of good reviews for it so fingers crossed.

My honeymoon was in October a few years ago.

We went to Vegas. Her idea.

Awesome honeymoon.

I'm off to Brazil for my honeymoon end of September/October.

Another safari/beach option is Tanzania - Selous Game Reserve followed by the Mafia Archipelago - we did tree houses on Chole Island then Pole Pole. All amazing places, and if safari's your thing, Tanzania's much less croweded than Kenya - we were out by ourselves in an open sided landy, off all the tracks following loins hunting, without seeing another vehicle all day - you can't do this in Kenya!

Been there - which part are you going to - village, lagoon or the other? It's one of the larger islands - great reef, the point is fantastic for sunsets and sharks etc. Took me several hours to swim around it outside the reef, and 1/2 hour or so to walk point to point.

We're staying in a beach villa; the previous resorts have all been taken over by kuoni and merged into one resort with various different classes of rooms. We're on an all-inclusive option which covers all of the restaurants on the island.

We're really looking forward to it - the pictures on the website/facebook page for the island look really amazing.

Reunion will be nice that time of year if you fancy something a bit different. French influence means great food can be easily found. Ideal two centre trip with Mauritius.
