With your wedding day planning well underway, all that you now have to worry about is finding a lovely relaxing place to have your honeymoon.

Whether you’re fortunate enough to take off for weeks at a time, or are simply looking for a romantic weekend getaway, we have you covered locally!

Below are our top five local destinations for a great reality escape before you and your better half begin your busy lives together.

1. The Drakensbergs

There is nothing more peaceful and beautiful than a weekend away in the ‘bergs’. The scenery is amazing and will keep you calm as well as entertained the entire time. Another great thing about the KwaZulu-Natal bergs is there is so much to do around there. The choices of activities are endless, and will definitely keep you busy.

2. The Midlands Meander

This is a great way to spend a weekend, without feeling stressed. The Midlands Meander route will take you on a beautiful sight-seeing drive with countless stalls and unique stops on your way.  From Piggly Wiggly to artisal cheese shops and more, the journey will be as fun as the destination! This is especially a great getaway if you enjoy the cultural side of our wonderfully diverse province.
3. The beach

Seriously, who does not love the beach? Whether it may be Durban or Amanzimtoti, the sun, sand and warm winds will definitely have a romantic effect on any couple. Why not work a trip to the beach into your honeymoon plans? Pack a small picnic basket and soak up the sun!

4. Game reserve camping getaway

Okay, so this might not be everybody’s cup of tea, but for the more outdoor couple, why not enjoy a relaxing camp fire while listening to the undisturbed sounds of Mother Nature? The getaway far away from the busy city life will definitely give your new life journey a peaceful kick start.

5. Spa getaway

This does not really limit you to any specific part of KZN, as there are plenty of gorgeous spas dotted around the province. It is all about which one will cater to your specific needs and, of course, your wallet. Whichever you decide, there’s no mistake in a relaxing honeymoon weekend away, being pampered, and coming back refreshed and ready to face the world again!
