Celebrity Style Honeymoons
 
 

Vacation PhotoHave you ever wondered where the celebrities go for their special getaway? Anywhere and everywhere. Money is of no concern, and a private jet is usually waiting equipped with the best caviar and the finest champagne. Destinations like Fiji, St. Tropez, and St. Barts are just a few of the celebrity spots. The problem, though, is that not all of us can afford such lavish locations. Never fear, Louisville Wedding Planner, along with A Knight’s Travel and Advantage Travel, have comprised a few places and key details that will have you honeymooning celebrity-style for much less money.

Privacy
Vacation PhotoCelebrities require complete privacy from paparazzi and cameras. They will pay thousands to temporarily escape their high-profile lives in order to relax for a few days. While you are not likely running from photographers, you still deserve privacy on your honeymoon so that you and your new hubby can fully enjoy the scenery and one another. When booking your getaway, inform your travel agent to look for reasonably-priced private villas. Some of these will have room service and bring spa treatments right to you. Tahiti over the Water Bungalows is a perfect spot for privacy; or check out some of the small islands in Hawaii, who offer some private villas that may be a bit pricier, but ah, what a small price to pay for a slice of paradise. Privacy will usually cost around $7000 to $8000, depending on the package and location.

Pamper Yourself
Celebrities love to spend some big cash on pampering themselves. Whether it is a massage for two by the beach or a pedicure in the spa, you deserve to be pampered after your “I do”s just as much as they do. A resort, though less secluded than a private villa, is best for the full treatment. Aventura Spa Palace in the Myan area of Cancun, Mexico, offers the best in spa treatment. Although it may set you back about $8000, after a day of pampering--complete with facial massages and mud baths—you’ll agree that it’s well worth the cost. Among other spa favorites are the popular Sandals resorts throughout the Caribbean. Also priced at $8000, the Sandals resorts and spas offer luxury treatment for stars and honeymooners alike. Go to www.sandals.com for a complete rundown of what each location has to offer.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
Celebrities will dish out an enormous amount of cash for the best in food and drink. A bottle of Christol or the freshest seafood will be hand-delivered to their private location for nothing less than several hundred per meal. This frivolous amount can be cut from your budget while you still enjoy the finer things. Cruise lines are ideal for the best in food and beverage. While most restaurants included in a honeymoon package feature great chefs and wonderful dishes, a step above is always better. Some cruise lines, including Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Lines, offer special private dining rooms. Usually specializing in seafood and steaks or Italian cuisine, a surcharge of $10 to $25 per person is added to the package for each private dinner, a substantially small price to pay for the privacy and finer dining.

Minus the private jet and paparazzi, traveling like a celebrity is easy to do. Privacy, pampering, and fine dining can all be bought for far less than hundreds of thousands of dollars. Whether you need simple privacy or a combination of pampering, fine dining, and privacy, there is a spot for you.
