The mini-moon as a honeymoon: what is it and where to go?

A ‘mini-moon’, also known as a short honeymoon, is popular among newlyweds who want to get away for a few days after their wedding but cannot (yet) go on a honeymoon any longer. In this article, you can read exactly what a mini-moon entails and discover the best destinations to go to!

What is a mini-moon?

A mini-moon is a mini honeymoon lasting around four to five days. Couples usually choose this option when their actual honeymoon cannot be planned until a little later. A mini-moon is ideal for couples who want to get away together after their wedding.

One of the main advantages of a mini-moon as a (first) honeymoon is that you can travel to amazing destinations in a slightly shorter period of time. Getting married in winter? Then consider a short ski break in the Swiss Alps or a city trip to a sunny city in southern Europe. A mini honeymoon is the ideal opportunity to get away from it all after the wedding party.

Where to go on a mini honeymoon?

For beach lovers, Ibiza in Spain, for example, offers pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, while newlyweds looking for culture and history are sure to find something to suit them in Rome. Couples wishing to spend their mini-moon a little closer to home will find their happiness in Paris or Amsterdam. To find out more about these destinations and other places perfect for a mini-moon, click below!

Venice, Italy

Venice is a city full of romance and history, situated on the Adriatic Sea. It's the perfect place for a romantic mini-moon. Explore the city's charming streets and canals and enjoy the local cuisine, wine and culture. Take a delightful gondola ride along the canals and admire the magnificent architecture of the many palazzos.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is one of Europe's most charming cities, with its majestic architecture and welcoming streets. It's an ideal destination for a city break as part of a mini-moon. Visit the city's historic sites, such as Old Town Square and Charles Bridge. Be sure to try some of the famous Czech beers during your mini-moon.

Santorini, Greece

Santorini, Greece's most romantic island, is famous for its white houses and blue-domed cliff-top churches. Relax on the magnificent white sandy beaches and enjoy the most beautiful sunsets during your mini honeymoon. Taste the local wine, olives and seafood and spend time together in one of Santorini's picturesque villages.

Paris, France

Paris is the city of love and has everything you need for a perfect mini-moon: maquis architecture, culture, gastronomy and dreamy strolls along the Seine. Visit the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and relax on a delightful cruise on the Seine.

Rome, Italy

Start your mini-moon in Rome with a visit to the Vatican and the Colosseum, some of the city's most iconic sites. Then explore the city's charming streets and squares, such as Piazza Navona and Campo de' Fiori. You can also admire the Trevi Fountain and the Barcaccia Fountain.

Taste famous Italian wines in one of Rome's many inviting restaurants and wine bars. Spend some time in one of the many parks, such as Villa Borghese and Villa Ada, and enjoy the fine weather. Finally, take a pleasant stroll along the Tiber and admire the architecture.

Ibiza, Spain

With its beautiful beaches, picturesque villages and lively nightlife, Ibiza is a wonderful place for your mini honeymoon. Start your mini honeymoon in Ibiza by... enjoying the sun and sea on one of the many beautiful beaches - Cala Comte, Cala Salada and Talamanca are just a few. Watch the sunset with a romantic picnic on the beach or a stroll along the coast.

Ibiza is also home to many natural attractions, such as the impressive caves of Can Marça and the secluded beaches of Es Vedra. Hire a scooter or a car and explore the island's varied landscapes. In the evening, Ibiza really comes alive with its vibrant nightlife. Enjoy a romantic dinner in one of the many restaurants overlooking the sea, then dance the night away in the nightclubs and bars.
