A few weeks ago, we finally decided on a honeymoon destination and I couldn’t be more excited! After much umm-ing and ahh-ing, we’ve decided to spend the first three weeks of our married life in the Philippines! We ended up ditching the idea of France for a number of reasons: a) it takes an awful long time to get there b) it’s very expensive once you’re there and c) we’re going to head over to Europe for a longer trip in 2014, so we figured it makes more sense to wait and visit the city of love then!
We’re pumped about the Philippines, mostly because it’s not that well known to people as a holiday destination. From all accounts (we had friends who recently visited) and from the pics we have seen, it has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Jamie and I (ok…mostly Jamie!) are big ones for a bit of adventure on the side as well, and there seems to be heaps to do – hikes in rice patties/through villages, diving, snorkelling through limestone caves, freshwater lagoons (that can only be reached by swimming through a space in rocks, at the right time of day and exiting at just the right time of day too!) and most of all an abundance of beaches where we can chill out and get our relaxation on!
While we’re yet to work out the finer details, we’ve penned in a few locations for our break. Wanna jump in our suitcases? Here’s some dreamy pics to get you inspired to book that next break…

Hi Molly! I got a little excited when I saw that your going to the Philippines for your honeymoon. That’s where Dale and I went and had the best time. We’ve actually been to the place in the last picture you posted, I know that for sure. El Nido is so beautiful and remote. Hardly any tourists which is why we loved it. A little paradise the rest of the world doesn’t really know about yet.
Hi Jade!
That’s so exciting you’ve been to the Philippines! We cannot wait! Seems like the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Bring it on! Will have to get all your tips off you!
See you soon, Molly xx
