Algorfa is a traditional Spanish village mainly untouched by tourism and so still maintains the traditional quaintness of a small Spanish village.  With so many Spanish locations having succumbed to the tourist effect, it is a breath of fresh air to still be able to find a village that is Spanish, with all the wonderful character that Spain has to offer.

Algorfa is a short 35 minute journey from either Alicante or Murcia airports and both airports are catered for by all major airlines, including the budget airlines.  Algorfa is a typical Spanish village and is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is enhanced by the dramatic backdrop of the Sierra de Crevillente Mountains.  Algorfa can also boast 300+ days of sunshine, making it an ideal honeymoon location, no matter what time of the year your wedding is.

As Algorfa is not an area saturated with tourism, for those on a budget, it is a very inexpensive honeymoon location with apartments starting from as little as £170 per week.

So why Algorfa?  What is there to see and do?

Imagine awaking to the wonderful aroma of the Lemon and Orange groves wafting in through your balcony doors, on the gentle breeze.  After a leisurely breakfast on the balcony, you decide on a relaxing day on the beach.  You take a trip down to the nearby spectacular Blue Flag beach, Guardamar del Segura, and spend the day enjoying the miles of clean golden sands, seafront promenades and peace and tranquillity; while the warm sea gentle laps at the sand.

If however today, you would rather try something a little bit more active, why not take a leisurely tour around the nearby beautiful historic city of Orihuela. Spend the day shopping in the many elegant shops and enjoying the historic gothic, baroque and renaissance buildings.  Then stop for a spot of light lunch, in one of the many traditional tavernas, before setting off again on your leisurely sightseeing.

Of course, if you are feeling really energetic there is always the beautiful La Pedrera Nature Reserve, located between Algorfa and Orihuela, to explore.  Here you can enjoy mountain biking, hiking, climbing and even swimming and horseback riding. If you want, you could just enjoy a romantic picnic in the secluded picnic areas.

Maybe today you fancy taking to the water? Then take a short drive to the Mar Menor (small sea), famously known as the largest salt lake in Europe. With a maximum depth of only 8m and temperatures higher than average, the area is renowned for its water sports and has many scuba schools and international standard sailing schools.

If Golfing is your passion, then you are in luck as the Costa Blanca is becoming known as The Golf Coast, with 15 Championship Golf Courses within the area. The nearest and only a short walk from the apartment is La Finca, one of the most talked about golf courses in Spain. An 18 hole golf course where non members are welcome. With the Costa Blanca averaging 300 days of sunshine, few days are lost to rain.

After a day spent as busy or leisurely as you choose, come the evening, if you decide not to eat in, there are always the local restaurants in Algorfa. Take a romantic moonlit stroll to one of the many restaurants that Algorfa has to offer.  With the cuisine being both local and global, even the most discerning palette will find something to enjoy.

However if you are looking for a more lively evening out, you can always visit the nearby bustling coastal resort town of Torrevieja. With Torrevieja being located only 15 minutes drive away and full of shops, restaurants and bars, it makes a great evening out.

Then when you are ready for bed, come back to Algorfa for a quiet, restful night's sleep, in preparation for another beautiful Costa Blanca day.

Algorfa is perfectly situated to offer a multitude of things to see and do, thereby making it the perfect European honeymoon destination.

Whether you are looking for activity or just somewhere to relax, and enjoy the company of your new husband or wife.  Algorfa has it all.

Give the Costa Blanca, Spain a try and say "hola" to Algorfa!

Thailand attracts many honeymooners every year and this should come as absolutely not as a surprise. The country offers a number of world class resort destinations which include Hua Hin, Samui, Phi Phi, Phuket and Kao Lak for example. This article will offer some information on the most popular Thailand honeymoon destinations for couples that are interested in visiting this magnificent country after their wedding.

I would also like to offer some insight information as to why so many newlyweds opt for this nation. There are of course a large number of beautiful and topical beaches which are ideal for anyone that would like to enjoy a quiet and romantic holiday. Thailand is also home to some of the finest resorts and hotels in the region and room prices are considerably cheaper then what people are used to back home.

Please find below some of the most popular areas of the country which honeymooners normally visit during their vacation.

Bangkok

Although Bangkok is a very large and busy city, many people do frequently choose to spend one or two nights in the Thai capital. There are many excellent restaurants and shopping venues which you can visit and enjoy.

Phuket

This is one of the leading tourist islands in the world and there are so many attractions, activities and wonderful hotels on Phuket so it is of course an ideal destination for newlyweds.

Phi Phi

The Phi Phi Islands has been the leading destination for honeymooners for more than a decade. This is the right place for those of you that you would like to enjoy a quiet and relaxing vacation with your new wife or husband.

In my opinion, every couple who plans to tie the knot should plan for three things at least: a) the wedding (quite obviously); b) family life (again, a given); and 3)... the honeymoon.

Let us explore a bit the relationship of this three.  Family life, at least in the Philippines, mostly would require marriage.  A good family plan includes this critical ceremony.  This is the consummation of sleepless nights, long talks over the phone (or texts), emails, and what-have-you.  But if you want to get off on a good... no, GREAT start, there's the honeymoon.

Honeymoon comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so to speak.  And starting off on the right foot requires that we wade through all the honeymoon packages being offered by different travel agencies, hotels and resorts, and even wedding planners.

What are the things to consider while planning that first magical week with your recently acquired life partner?  Read on and I hope the tips below could be of help.

1. Know thyself.  Two become one so it's really not you alone anymore who gets to decide (unless of course you want to pull a fast one and sweep your sweetie off his/her feet).  What is it that characterizes you?  What is it that you want? These are some questions you need to settle.

For example, you want to stay close to your roots and have this as a theme to celebrate your love while staying romantic, relaxed, and hopefully reinvigorated after months of preparation for your wedding.  You want a destination that you both will enjoy, without having to spend much.

1. Once you got #1, decide on the best honeymoon destination.   In our example, you want your honeymoon to be here in the Philippines, in one of its grandest beaches—BORACAY.  Honeymoon destinations matter a lot as it sets the atmosphere for a romantic getaway.  You can say that every day is a honeymoon but really, it can only happen once and you want this to be special.

1. Iron out the details.  How many days will it take?  Do you have the budget?  What are you in for?  Honeymoon isn't just hugging and cuddling, you might want to get to know each other a little deeper.  Why not go island-hopping, snorkelling, and jet-skiing.  After which, you get a relaxing massage or aromatherapy.

1. Take care of the logistics.  You can always book yourselves airline tickets, hotel reservations, etc.  But why ruin the honeymoon romance with that?  Leave it to the expert.  Taking care of these things could be as easy as ABC.  Just give your travel agency a call or send them an email and they'll take care of this for you.

1. Lastly, the early bird gets the worm.  There are certain benefits to doing everything early... or at least these two things.  One is to plan early.  You do not need honeymoon planning get in the way of the actual wedding planning.  You are doing yourself a disservice if the details of these two events get mixed up.  Second is to book early.  You will be saving serious money by booking your airline tickets and hotel reservations way ahead of time.  Also, you may ask your travel agency if they have available promo in your chosen honeymoon destination.

Remember, you need not subject yourself to stressful planning.  There are travel agencies that could handle this for you.

In tough times couples spend more on memories and less on over the top abundance and what better way to start your marriage off right than with an unforgettable honeymoon? But that doesn't come without a price tag. Even still, we've found ten easy ways to save in hopes that you can have your cake and eat it too.

1. Rent an apartment
   If you know you want to spend several days in one location, look into short-term rentals. Often you can find fantastic furnished apartments that are available for rent by the week and are much cheaper than most hotels. As an added bonus you get to experience a more local feel and the culture since you are living where the locals do.
2. Don't be shy – tell them it's your honeymoon!
   When you're on your honeymoon, don't be afraid to flaunt it! Everyone wants to celebrate with newlyweds, so make sure everyone knows from the beginning of the planning and booking process up to nights out at dinner on your special vacation. Simply by mentioning that you are newlyweds to an airline might get you an upgrade. You could find everything from hotel upgrades, special suites, perks like champagne and flowers in your room, discounts and romance packages to free drinks/desserts from random well-wishers!
3. Know your limits and set your priorities
   When you start to plan, sit down together and make sure you're on the same page. Discuss what your desires and goals are and what you must have and what you can live without. Make sure you know your budget and plan something within that so you feel comfortable and relaxed during your trip and not anxious about what the final bill will be.
4. Work with a travel agent
   A travel agent is a great resource and can be a wonderful money-saving resource as well. Since they work in the industry, they can often get amazing deals to pass along to you and can create for you a customized romantic trip. Use an agent that specializes in the area you want to go to, an agency that works with cruises, one that has extensive knowledge of Italy, and of course, specializes in honeymoons.
5. Consider a honeymoon registry
   A honeymoon registry is great for those looking to save. Some travel agencies and websites offer a registry service where guests can contribute to a honeymoon fund and travel expenses in lieu of wedding gifts. Guests can also pick a specific perk to give, like a spa treatment or romantic dinner away so they don't just feel like they are giving you money.
6. Consider an all-inclusive tour, hotel, or cruise
   If worry and hassle free travel is your top priority, this is a great way to make sure you know the exact costs of your trip before you go with no fear of going over. Most all-inclusive venues include meals, room, drinks, entertainment and activities, and taxes. Make sure you do know what they do and do not offer so you aren't disappointed if, for example, if they don't include alcohol.
7. Plan a few romantic nights in
   If you book a place where there is a kitchenette, go to a local market and get fresh indigenous fare to cook an intimate dinner for two. Stop by a major store when you arrive and get basic necessities like snacks and easy things to make for breakfast, lunch, and drinks. That way the only meals you have to worry about are dinners out and you can easily make and pack sandwiches for a hike or quesadillas out by the pool.
8. Inquire about packages
   Not only can you find amazing extras when you sign up for a package (which may have a romance, honeymoon, spa, or sport theme), but rates for these packages can include tips, airport transfers, and tax, which can end up saving you big money over the usual room-only rates -- even while you are getting all the perks! Don't forget to ask wherever you go about specials for newlyweds.
9. Take advantage of off seasons
   All destinations have high and low seasons that can have extreme variations in prices just weeks or even days apart from each other. Sometimes this is due to the weather, but in many tropical destinations there is great weather year-round and price fluctuations are due to an influx of people escaping cold weather at home. Even if there is a weather difference at your chosen location, the money saved might make up for a little bit of poor weather especially if you are going somewhere where your focus will be sightseeing and not just laying on a beach.
10. Research when booking your flights and book in advance
    Often there are smaller airports to fly into that can be cheaper than using major hubs, and airlines run deals at different times of the year. Look into cashing those frequent flyer miles that you've been saving up, and check online discount websites for the cheapest flights. Also, check with your hotel to see if they offer complimentary airport pick up and drip off to start saving the moment you land! Plan well in advance and avoid those last minute fees and rate hikes.

When people talk about luxury travel, they're often talking about flying first class. Flying first class definitely has its perks; larger seats, better drinks and meals, more personal attention, etc. But these luxuries come with a price. The differences between a first class ticket and a coach ticket are significant and they limit many people from flying first class. However, there are a few ways to get deals on first class airfare. The top three ways are 1) searching online, 2) upgrading at the last minute, and 3) accumulating frequent flyer miles.

Find Luxury Travel Deals Online

The Internet should be the first place you turn to for all your travel needs, including deals on airfare and luxury travel. The web is filled with travel web sites that offer discounts on airfare to many top travel destinations. These sites often purchase tickets in bulk at a discounted price or utilize airfare search engine technology to search the web and databases for comparative rates and savings on travel tickets. The web allows you to bypass the traditional travel agent and search for cheap airfare on your own, ridding any "service charge" or "additional services" expenses that often accompany purchasing tickets through a travel agency. By searching the web for luxury travel deals, you'll be able to find amazing deals on first class airfare and finally fly the way you've always wanted to.

Find Last Minute Luxury Travel Deals at the Airport

Some airlines allow passengers to upgrade their ticket at the last minute. Often, these last minute upgrades are much cheaper than booking a first class ticket in the first place. That's because these last minute ticket upgrades aren't always available. It depends on the number of seats available in first class. On some flights, first class is completely booked, eliminating any last-minute first class ticket upgrades. However, on flights where first class is practically a ghost town, the airlines will be more willing to upgrade your ticket for a small fee just to make a few more bucks. So, if you've always wanted to fly first class and only have a coach ticket, ask when you check in if a first class upgrade is available. You might just find a very inexpensive first class upgrade and finally be able to experience luxury travel.

Accumulate Your Frequent Flyer Miles for Free Luxury Travel Deals

If you fly a lot for business or personal reasons, it's a good idea to sign up with an airline's frequent flyer program and start earning miles. A frequent flyer program is an airline's way of rewarding customer loyalty. Through such programs, flyers earn points (a.k.a. miles) each time they fly. Flyers can then cash in their points for different products or services, including free first class ticket upgrades. The more a person flies and the longer the flights are, the more points the flyer accrues. So, if you fly frequently and want to experience luxury travel, become a member of an airline's frequent flyer program and start earning points for a free first class upgrade.

Luxury travel is something everyone should experience at least once in their life. However due to the high cost of first class airfare, many people never get to experience it. If you want to fly first class and travel in style, use this guide to help you find deals on luxury travel, and experience exotic and luxurious destinations around the world.

Remember the old days of airline travel? You drove to the brick-and-mortar travel agency, sat down with a travel agent, and discussed your vacation or business-travel plans. As we all know, those days are long gone. The rise of the Internet and online travel agents has made vacation planning and airline reservations a breeze. Nowadays, you can plan your vacation and book airline tickets at your computer, from the comfort of your home.

Using online travel agents makes vacation planning easier and more efficient than going through a traditional travel agent. You simply input the dates of your departure and arrival, your destination, and which airport you'd like to use. The online travel agent then searches hundreds of fares to find the best one for you, letting you compare offers from dozens of airlines. You can also check fares from airports in the surrounding areas from your chosen airport. Online travel agents also offer you the option of setting up e-mail alerts to find a fare in your preferred cost range.

The Advantage of Online Travel Agents

The benefits of online travel arrangement don't end there, however. Hotel and car reservations are also available when using an online travel agent. Airline reservations can be bundled with deals from car-rental agencies and hotel chains, allowing vacationers, business travelers, and frequent flyers to do some one-stop shopping.

E-tickets are also available when you use online travel agents. Although some passengers feel more secure with a paper ticket in hand, these days, many airlines are charging extra for paper tickets. E-tickets, on the other hand, are cheaper and can be printed from your computer. They also allow passengers to check in online, over the telephone, or via self-service terminals at the airport. With e-tickets, boarding passes may also be printed at virtually any location with an Internet connection and a printer.

But What about the Human Touch?

Some may decry the loss of human contact when making important travel plans with an online travel agent. After all, if reservations are lost or erroneous, it's hard for your computer to lend a sympathetic ear. However, in this 24-hour, workaday world, the convenience of an online travel agent allows travelers to make reservations at any time, not just during business hours. Online travel agents put you in control, allowing you to customize your reservations down to the smallest detail.

Speed, efficiency, and choice are the online travel agent's stock in trade. Take advantage of this technology, and you'll never have to page through a travel brochure again or sit in a travel agent's office again!

Once upon a time…

Before the dawn of the information super highway, brick-and-mortar travel agencies were the key to booking travel arrangements and finding deals on airfare. These agencies helped travelers plan trips and book flights, hotel and car rental reservations, and other travel necessities. But as the Internet started to dominate all areas of commerce, travelers began to turn to online travel agencies instead of the brick-and-mortars. These "virtual" agencies offered all the travel planning options and discounts conventional travel agencies offered without requiring travelers to leave their home. No longer did travelers need to make appointments and meet face-to-face with a travel agent just to make travel arrangements. There was now a convenient online solution to booking travel arrangements and finding discounts on airfare.

Reality Check

Online travel agencies haven't completely decimated the conventional brick-and-mortar shops. Traditional travel agencies still do a great deal of business with travelers and are one viable solution to booking travel arrangements. However, as busy as our lives can be, online travel agencies do offer a quick and convenient solution to finding airline tickets without taking you away from home, or even work – and the brick-and-mortar shops realize this. Some conventional agencies are also hitting the web and establishing travel websites to cater to those individuals looking to quickly search for and book flights. So even though online travel agencies haven't completely decimated the conventional travel agency industry, they have established a viable and convenient alternative to booking vacations, business trips, and other travel plans.

Life Still Exists in the Brick-and-Mortars

Conventional travel agencies still command a large portion of the travel booking industry. Their face-to-face service is what keeps them in business and, depending on the needs of the traveler, a more realistic solution to booking travel arrangements. When you book your travel plans through a brick-and-mortar travel agency, you're working with real people and if you're a frequent traveler, it's nice to have a "favored agent" to turn to for travel information and advice. With an online travel agency, you're simply interacting with a virtual interface that allows you to search for and book your own travel plans without ever speaking with a live person. Many people prefer face-to-face interaction and would never even dream about using a travel website to book their travel plans. There is still something to be said about personal service and the conventional travel agencies are capitalizing on it by offering personalized services and conveniences to travelers.

So Where do We Go from Here?

As you can see, there are benefits and disadvantage to both conventional and online travel agencies. Each one offers its own experience and features that make it unique from the other and in favor with different people. When it comes to selecting the best option for you, you merely need to ask yourself "What am I looking for in a travel agency?" The best way to answer this question is to check out a few online travel agencies, compare them to some brick-and-mortars, and see which ones have the savings, products, and services you desire.

Mauritius is a tropical paradise and one of the most beautiful places for a romantic honeymoon.

Mauritius enjoys an extensively varied culture, due to its multifaceted history. It’s greatly influenced by its British and French ties and principally Indian workforce. The result is a mix of assorted cultures, religions, and languages. The variety is also evident in the food, which is a mix of Indian, Creole, Chinese, and European.

Mauritius is the ultimate honeymoon destination with amazing beaches, great food, world class spas and excellent honeymoon spots.

Exotic Beaches
The Island of Mauritius has warm turquoise waters with pristine white sandy beaches, gently swaying palms and aromatic blossoms. It is an ideal destination for a wedding or honeymoon.

Pereybere
Pereybere is situated on the coastal road between Grand Baie and Cap Malheureux. Pereybere offers deep and clear blue waters. It is definitely the most popular among young people, with some of the best beach action around.

Grand Baie
Grand Baie is probably the most popular beach on the island,. It is a safe place for swimming, sailing, windsurfing, and water skiing. Only 20 kilometers away from Port-Louis, Grand Baie has a host of clothing and craft shops, restaurants and trendy night clubs. From Grand Baie, one can catch a helicopter for an excursion along the coast, or get onto a boat for a trip into the deep seas to Coin de Mire, Ile Plate and Ile Ronde.

Cap Malheureux
Cap Malheureux is a small fishing village located on the furthest north tip of Mauritius. Cap Malheureux offers a magnificent view of some of the small islands off the coast. Among others, Ile Plate, famous for its lighthouse; Ile Ronde, inhabited only by palm trees, harmless boas and indigenous lizards; Ile aux Serpents, which, despite its name, is not infested with snakes; and Coin de Mire, an enormous rock of historical importance, since it was from there that the English secretly embarked on September 2, 1810 to win over the island from the French

Mont Choisy
Mont Choisy is situated on the northern coastline, and is one of the best beaches around. Locals enjoy spending the weekend there, relaxing in the sun, enjoying the sea and playing soccer on an adjacent field. The entrance to the beach is guarded by a monument, commemorating the first airlink between Mauritius and Reunion Island on September 10, 1933, undertaken by a Frenchman by the name of Sutel, and a Mauritian, Jean Hily. The latter unfortunately lost his life on the second attempt held on October 4, 1934.

Trou-Aux-Biches
Nestled between Mont Choisy and Pointe-aux-Piments, is a short stretch of public beach l. Trou-aux-Biches is a cozy white sandy beach, with blue waters and lazy filao trees to match. Trou-aux-Biches is also minutes away from The Aquarium, where you can acquaint yourself with the Mauritian marine life. The splendid Hindu Temple across from Trou aux Biches stands in sweet contrast to the heavenly emerald-green waters and white sandy beach background.

Flic-en-Flac
The name Flic en Flac is thought to come from the old Dutch name, 'Fried Landt Flaak', or 'Free and Flat Land'. Flic en Flac, off the Port Louis-Tamarin road, lies at the bottom of a 3Km straight road running through cane fields. It is not as cute and carefree as its name suggests. Rather, it is an increasingly busy holiday village that lies and relies on a great stretch of beach, and caters for the middle range in the market rather than the budget level, which prefers Tamarin.

Tamarin
This is the surfing centre of Mauritius, although you can go for weeks without seeing a surfer. The character of the place is more laid-back than Flic en Flac and rougher around the edges. It has a good beach and is well situated for most of the other sights. Salt evaporation ponds encircle the village. Tamarin Bay Beach - This is a small public beach with good views across the river estuary to Montage du Rempart.

Blue Bay
Blue Bay is the official public beach closest to Mahebourg.

Ile Aux Cerfs
Ile Aux Cerfs a small island off the east coast, is the next best thing after paradise. The island features vast beaches fringed with palm trees, and clear waters. There is no need to leave this paradise island since it has all you need, including restaurants and water sports facilities. Restaurants and other services are housed in small exotic kiosks, with straw roofs. Tourists can access IIe aux Cerfs by getting onto one of the small boats at Pointe Maurice. Close to Ile aux Cerfs is the beautiful but lesser known Ile de l'Est. A short distance from Ile aux Cerfs is Le Touessrok, one of the oldest five-star hotels on the island.

Planning a wedding is stressful enough. Planning a honeymoon should be a pleasure. As long as both the bride and groom agree on the locale and the activities, this part of the new life adventure should be a snap to plan. Creating plans for the perfect romantic honeymoon should include things that appeal to both, however. If one likes the water and the other hates it, a beach trip might want to be avoided.

Typically, a good honeymoon that's nice and romantic can take place anywhere the honeymooners can get some quality time together with a lot of privacy. Very few people want a lot of others around during their special once-in-a-lifetime trip together. The vacation, whether it's for a weekend or an entire month, is meant to help you both ease in to married life and create lasting memories. It should be fun, relaxing and romantic.

Before planning a trip, it's a good idea for both the bride and groom to sit down and discuss options. Be certain to pick a place together - one that really appeals to both. Although it's likely a lot of time will be spent in the room, venturing out should be a fun option that offers lots of romantic possibilities, too.

Here are some tips on places to go:

* Beach destinations. For many, there are few things more romantic than watching a sunset on a pristine beach while sipping on drinks with little paper straws and watching palm trees sway in a warm breeze. If this appeals, places such as Florida, South Carolina, California, Hawaii and even some European destinations and the islands of the Caribbean and so on are all good ideas. They all offer their own special appeal and other possibilities for romance and adventure.

* Europe. If staying in a historic city, perhaps within the walls of a romantic, medieval castle, sounds like a dream come true, countries such as Germany, England, Scotland and Ireland might be considered. Sightseeing possibilities are incredible in any of the destinations and accommodations can really be as upscale or as basic as a couple's budget demands.

* Mountains. There are few places more romantic than secluded mountain cabins. Getting back to nature offers some incredible views, which happen to be very romantic and the privacy can't be beat. Places to consider for this type of trip include anywhere in the Smokey Mountains, the Rockies, Pennsylvania, New York, Canada and Europe. Again accommodations can include upscale lodges or more rustic cabins or even tent camping. Whatever both the bride and groom deem goes.

* Ocean cruises. When it comes to beautiful views and upscale treatment, cruises are unstoppable. With lots to see and do, there's plenty to appeal outside of the stateroom.

No matter where you go or what you do on your honeymoon, remember the trip is for both the bride and groom. It's a time to kick back, relax and get to know each other even better before the day-to-day routine of married life sets in. Just make certain the trip appeals to you both, make it fun and relax; it's the stuff lifelong memories are made of.

A romantic honeymoon can be cheap, affordable or extravagant. As long as the two most important people are having fun, that's all that matters. Leave the stress of planning behind at the wedding and just enjoy the honeymoon.
