Tropical Honeymoon Vacation

After the months - often years ! - of planning for your wedding, there is nothing more attractive than taking a honeymoon vacation in the tropics. What better way to unwind after all the hectic and emotional marriage preparations. Relaxing is one of the main aims of honeymoon couples, as it rejuvenates the body and soul and provides the perfect setting for a loving time together. So how does the honeymoon couple relax in Fiji?

First of all there is the friendly welcome provided by the Fijian people. How can one not relax when greeted by such genuine smiles. The warmth of the Fijian people immediately removes any initial stress about 'what to expect' on arrival.

Then there is the climate. The tropics are ideal for relaxing. No huddling by the fire, pulling thick clothing to your body. No! Here in Fiji let your body be caressed with light cotton wraps ( known as sulus ), let the sun warm you by day, and breezes cool you gently by evening. Many resorts in Fiji offer spa therapies and massage. What a wonderful way to continue your relaxing vacation. Activities - whether active such as hiking or kayaking, or placid such as lazing on the beach, swimming or snorkelling, will all add to the general atmosphere of relaxation. Snorkelling is especially enchanting as you watch a myriad of colourful fish flirt with the corals in the dappled sunlight filtering down through the clear tropical water.

Then, of course, is the prospect of leisurely meals together and the tropics allows for al fresco dining. The brilliant blues of the ocean may greet you as you start the day with breakfast of freshly cooked eggs, and cool refreshing tropical fruits and juices. At lunchtime, relax in the shade of a palm tree or under a palm-fringed canopied restaurant. When night falls, the rhythmic beating of the lali drum and a pathway of Fijian flares will guide you to dinner as you watch the sun set in the west and see a tropical sky light up with twinkling stars.
