Honeymoon destinations are getting harder to tell apart. More and more honeymoon destinations have fallen victim to over commercialization. Most tend to have similar atmospheres. One resort may look like another, which looks like yet another, and so on. While many new brides and grooms might not care, others may be looking for a truly unique spot. In this world, there are those who cannot live without McDonald\u2019s and Starbucks. There are also many who feel comfortable all alone on a deserted beach. As \u201cthey\u201d say \u2013 to each their own.<\/p>\n
In past articles, I\u2019ve featured Belize<\/a> as one of THE honeymoon destinations that should be on your list. And it still should be. But recently I have also come across another extremely beautiful place that should be STRONGLY considered as well \u2013 Bonaire! It may actually just have moved into first place on our list!<\/p>\n Bonaire is of the last remaining Caribbean islands that still has an exciting \u201cundiscovered\u201d feel. While its neighbors Aruba and Curacao have many of the amenities that most modern Americans are used to \u2013 like the aforementioned McDonald\u2019s and Starbucks, Bonaire is much less developed. You won\u2019t find any of the sprawling resorts or big hotel chains that populate most of the region. In fact, the pink flamingo population rivals that of actual humans. Traffic lights are also non-existent. Very few building are higher than a palm tree. Bonaire is committed to conservation, so local powdery beaches, amazing coral reefs and picturesque tropical vegetation all remain unspoiled. Imagine that!<\/p>\n Sound interesting?<\/p>\n Bonaire also has one of the mildest climates in the Caribbean. It only rains an average of 22 inches a year. An easterly trade wind helps keep you cool. Both water and air temperatures hover around a constant 80 degrees. Bonaire is also located outside of the area\u2019s hurricane belt. So you won\u2019t have to worry about your honeymoon being spoiled during the storm season. Just thirty miles east of Curacao and fifty miles north of Venezuela, Bonaire can be reached with a direct flight out of Newark or Houston (via United Airlines), and on Delta Airlines out of Atlanta. Short flights also take off out of Aruba and Curacao.<\/p>\n If being underwater is your style, Bonaire is a diver\u2019s dream. In fact, it\u2019s basically a sea lover\u2019s dream in general. There\u2019s plenty of boating opportunities, kayaking, wind surfing and deep sea fishing. Should you find yourself too water logged, then feel free to stay on land to bike or hike. Heck – just plant yourself on a beach! Whatever your activity, it\u2019s available in Bonaire.<\/p>\n Still sound interesting?<\/p>\n If Bonaire sound like it belongs on your list of honeymoon destinations, then please consider our friends at Harbour Village.
