COLORADO HONEYMOON ROMANTIC GETAWAYS
3 Stunning Honeymoons For Winter Brides
While it may be true that most couples think their honeymoon destinations should revolve around amazing beachfront properties and sun soaked afternoons, there are also a growing number of newlyweds turning to the great outdoors and snowy winter retreats to find love and romance.
The cozy atmosphere of being indoors while the weather rages on outside can be a license for closeness that a tropical paradise can be hard pressed to compete with.
All of the places that will be listed below offer a great deal of fun in the snow covered mountains and include things such as skiing, snow-boarding, dog sledding, cross country, as well as hiking and horse back riding.
In addition, all of the places share a mountain type lodge with the exception of the last one which offers the highly romantic warm hearth to snuggle up to a loved one and revel in the simple fantasy of being together.
Quebec in Canada is the first place on the list of winter paradise destinations.
The shopping, cuisine and overall surroundings of this vibrant town have lead to it being dubbed the Paris of North America.
The Auberge Le Vincent has suites that offer a flat screen, goose down duvets, and 400 thread count sheets to enhance a honeymoon.
The service at this resort is highly specialized as only ten rooms are even available for booking. If the outdoor activities and indoor amenities aren’t enough, couples can take an excursion to a winter play world known as the Valcartier Vacation Village.
The second place on our list of stunning winter wonderland honeymoon retreats is Aspen, Colorado.
It’s also a hot spot for many celebrities as they choose it to get away from the paparazzi.
The St Regis Aspen Resort looks as though it was pulled straight out of a scene from the popular smash hit movie The Polar Express.
It lights up the night sky with its classic upscale elegance, and allows couples to relax in the heated outdoor courtyard pool, or see a full meal being prepared in the exhibition kitchen. The spa boasts 20,000 square feet of luxury that allows newlyweds to indulge in all of the basic services, and if that’s not enough, there are the vapor caves, and a waterfall room to practice an hour of meditative yoga in.
The final place we are going to look at is definately not for couples working on a tight budget. It sits in a small town in Sweden called Jukkasjarvi which is just 160 miles from the Arctic Circle.
In fact, one of the best ways to get to one of the most incredible hotels in the world is by an 8 mile ride on a dog sled from the tee tiny airport.
The Kuruna’s Ice Hotel is a serious ice castle that is built each year beginning in October by the Sami tribe in the area using 10,000 tons of ice and 30,000 tons of snow.
By December the exterior is finished and the interior work can begin. Of the 50 rooms and 5,000 square feet of total accommodations, an international artist completely designs each room from scratch each year.
The use of color plays a role with gentle hues enhancing designs that are simply lit by tall pillar-like candles that make the ice glow from within.
Guests enter the personalized space through reindeer skin covered doors, to a magical surreal enclosure that is sure to inspire awe and romance just by its own unique flair.
Newlyweds tend to only stay one night in the ice castle and then two or more nights in one of the bugalows occupying the Scandinavian territory.
The locals that spend their time each year creating the ice hotel often say that the location makes for such powerful and visual Northern Lights that they can actually be heard as well as seen.
If that doesn’t work to bring a couple the most off the wall one of a kind honeymoon getaway that will inspire memories for years to come, nothing will.
Although most honeymoons consist of lying on the white sandy beaches somewhere while sipping a tropical drink, some honeymoons are meant to be different, and that’s where the wonder of the winter landscape comes into play.
Depending upon the budget, there are so many amazing places that allow for outdoor adventure and indoor intimacy, a little research and a good pair of long johns should set the stage for a stunning honeymoon adventure.
