2. The Ice Hotel, Sweden
Cosy Honeymoon Retreats
The Ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi, northern
Sweden is the world’s first and largest
hotel built out of snow and ice. Guests
who stay overnight in the icy hotel slip
into thermal underwear, pull a hat over
their ears and climb into a sleeping bag on
top of reindeer hides and a mattress, all
on top of a block of ice. Guests typically
spend one night ‘on ice’ and then spend
the remainder of their stay in warmer
accommodation!

3. The Ice Hotel, Sweden
Cosy Honeymoon Retreats
Whilst staying at the ICEHOTEL, you can
make your honeymoon extra special by
embarking on a guided tour to see the
Northern Lights, taking part in dog or
reindeer-sledding excursions, going to
watch moose by horseback, ice sculpting
or taking in the local Sami culture. You can
also enjoy delicious food and drinks served
‘in the rocks’, rather than on them, at the
ICEBAR. There’s even an ice chapel so you
could renew your wedding vows in the
breathtaking surroundings.

4. Highlife Ski & Snowboard
Cosy Honeymoon Retreats
If your idea of winter romance involves
roaring log fires, cosy chalets and ski
slopes, then you should consider Highlife
Ski and Snowboard when it comes to
booking your honeymoon. Every day you
wake up to a cooked breakfast, before
hitting the slopes for thrilling ski or
snowboard sessions with your other half.
There are outdoor hot tubs and steamy
saunas to relax in, and three course meals
prepared every evening by the chalet chef.

5. Highlife Ski & Snowboard
Cosy Honeymoon Retreats
If lying by the pool in sweltering
temperatures isn’t for you, then consider a
skiing or snowboarding break in the
romantic alpine mountains, for a
honeymoon you’ll be talking about for the
rest of your life!

6. New York
Cosy Honeymoon Retreats
If you’d prefer a honeymoon that’s a little
less outdoorsy and rural, why not consider
a romantic city break? New York in the
winter is absolutely stunning, snowy and lit
up for the festive season. You could spend
your first holiday as man and wife ice-
skating at the iconic Rockefeller Centre,
wandering through the snow in Central
Park or sipping cocktails in one of the
city’s many trendy bars.

7. New York
Cosy Honeymoon Retreats “New York City has a great variety of
restaurants and a wonderful array of
entertainment options available,” says
John Donohue, a representative of NYC &
Company. “For great cuisine in a
contemporary setting, try Maze by Gordon
Ramsay at the London NYC.
You’ll need somewhere comfortable to
collapse every night after exploring such a
vibrant and exciting city with so much
culture, great cuisine and amazing
shopping! “An award winning Broadway
show should also be on your agenda,”
suggests John. “ ‘Once’, inspired by the
Irish movie of the same name, won the
Tony award for Best Musical in 2012!”
