Honeymoon Destinations in November
November sees the start of winter in the UK and Europe, so many honeymooners will be packing their bags in search of a bit of sunshine and warmth. But don’t forget that European destinations such as France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and the UK can still offer great honeymoon opportunities at fantastic prices. Even taking the somewhat variable weather into account, seeing the Eiffel tower on a misty morning or enjoying a traditional roast dinner in front of a log fire in the UK could be your perfect honeymoon.
However, for those who would like to escape the onset of winter, here are a few suggestions:
Short(ish) haul
Morocco is practically guaranteed to be warm in November, and the exotic city of Marakech is less than a 4 hour flight away. Once you’ve taken in the shopping, culture and sunshine of the city, take a trip to the Atlas Mountains, a trip into the Sahara desert or visit the beach at Oualidia or Essaouira.
Heading over to Spain, you can fly to the beautiful Canary islands in 4-5 hours, where the weather is expected to be warm, at around 20-22C in November, and prices low. For the surfers, waves in Lanzarote are at their best in November, and the volcanic reefs and soft sand at Fuerteventura are perfect for beach lovers.
Egypt is still warm and sunny in November but not unbearably hot, and has a flight time of less than five hours from the UK. Visit the Pyramids in Cairo, take a cruise along the Nile, or stay in a luxury hotel on the beautiful beaches of the Red Sea.
Long haul
November in India is perfect, as the monsoon season has finished but the heat has not risen to an unbearable level, and you will avoid the high season crowds of December. Stay in a palace hotel in Rajasthan where you can visit a Camel fair and the famous Taj Mahal, and the weather should be relatively dry and warm with lower humidity.
Similarly, in South-east Asia, the monsoon will have finished and the weather will be hot and dry. Honeymooners in North Vietnam can explore the authentic busy city of Hanoi, take a boat trip on Halong Bay or go trekking in the rice-terraced hills at Sapa.
It is late spring in Argentina, where November sees the start of the glamorous international polo season in Buenos Aires. Spring time in Patagonia offers longer days and warmer temperatures to enjoy the stunning scenery on offer. Make your honeymoon truly memorable by visiting the spectacular Moreno glacier and Mount Fitz Roy, and whale watching at Peninsula Valdés.
Of course, there are many other long haul honeymoon destinations in November, such as Mexico, Tunisia, Oman, Southern Africa, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand. Where ever you decide to go, you are sure to enjoy your November honeymoon!
