Romantic puerto rico vacations: Best Honeymoon Resorts in Puerto Rico

Best Honeymoon Resorts in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico offers a tropical, romantic ambiance, and, if you’re a U.S. citizen, you don’t even need a passport to travel here.

Sometimes, a quick romantic getaway is what the two of you need. Work has been stressful, the kids have seemed extra noisy the past couple weeks, and you’re simply just tired of fumbling through commuting traffic every day. Fortunately for American citizens, Puerto Rico is a quick direct flight away, and you don’t even need your passport to get there.

The U.S. territory is teeming with vibrant people and a lively culture that’s sure to provide some excitement in your relationship. Go to one of Puerto Rico’s famed beaches, try some local food, or dance to your heart’s content at a nightclub. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll need a place to stay (unless you have family or friends you can crash with, but that’s not very romantic).

So, whether you’re coming to P.R. for another romantic getaway or joining thousands of others who’ve had honeymoons in Puerto Rico, check out our list of the best honeymoon resorts in Puerto Rico.

Where to go for Christmas and New Year – top 25 destinations

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro’s winter holidays are different to the naked eye. It all starts with the fact that the giant main Christmas tree of the city is not installed in the central square, but in the middle of the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon. Snow here replaces white sand, and Christmas souvenirs are sold at the Saar market, which occupies 11 blocks. Rio de Janeiro is one of the most popular cities to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Traditionally, millions of people dressed in white gather on Copacabana Beach to enjoy music and dancing, as well as watch fireworks launched at midnight.

Orlando, USA

What could be more magical than a trip to Orlando and spending the best Christmas holidays in the company of your favorite movie characters and cartoons! This can be done in the largest amusement park in the world – Walt Disney World. Themed performances, parades and other events are held here with the participation of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale and other familiar characters. Universal Park is also not far behind and invites guests to celebrate Christmas in the world of Harry Potter and not let the Grinch steal this wonderful holiday.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Gothic Edinburgh turns into a huge Christmas market in winter, exuding delicious smells. Also at this time, a Ferris wheel, a skating rink and other entertainments that are most focused on children are installed. The atmosphere of the holiday compensates for the gloomy weather without snow, which is extremely rare in the Scottish capital. Edinburgh residents celebrate the New Year for 2 days, starting on December 31, when the Hogmanay holiday starts. During it, torchlight processions, concerts and other interesting events take place, so it will not be boring in Edinburgh alone. At midnight, the sky above the city lights up with fireworks. Start dates for entertainment activities may vary slightly.

After the chiming clock in Scotland, it is customary to sing the song Auld Lang Syne with lyrics by Robert Burns. This is followed by a traditional dance during which all participants hold hands.

Koh Phangan, Thailand

Thailand’s Koh Phangan is a tropical mecca for beach lovers and one of the best places to visit for New Year’s Eve. Every month, the Full Moon Party is held here, and December is no exception. On the beach of Haad Rin, where this party is held, electronic music sounds, fire shows illuminate the darkness, and dozens of bars and clubs offer a New Year’s Eve holiday in a pleasant atmosphere. By tradition, fireworks are launched into the sky at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

St. Moritz, Switzerland

St. Moritz is the best place to spend Christmas for people who don’t like crowds and noisy parties. Here you can enjoy silence and solitude in a wooden chalet overlooking the snowy Swiss Alps, bask in hot mulled wine by the fireplace and forget about the daily hustle and bustle. To get in the holiday spirit even more, you can visit the local Christmas market, which sells local handicrafts, confectionery and wine, as well as an ice rink.
