picks her A-Z of stunning
honeymoon destinations


CUDDLE UP
For honeymoon style that's mone snow short wedding dresses
queen than beach babe, the new Lake Balea
Ice Hotel in Romania is perfect forspending
days dog sledding and whizzing around on
snow mobiles, and nights cuddling up in the
ice bed under cosy blankets, duvets and furs
(four-night package excluding flights from
£375pp; icehotelromania.com). It's rebuilt
every winter and can only be reached by
cable car, which makes it super-exclusive in
our book. Or ti"y the largest igloo of them
all, Sweden's ICEHOTELJukkasjarvi (nght:
rooms from £150 per night; icehotel.com).
Also rebuilt every November, it includes
an ice bar and wedding chapel and is one lace wedding dresses
of the best places on the whole planet for
spotting the trippy Northern Lights before
the hotel melts away.


ADRENALIN RUSH
If you thought honeymoons were just about golden beaches
and pina coladas, you'd be wrong, as couples increasingly splash
their cash on thrills and spills. Nepal, the tiny republic above
India, is a top spot for adventure right now and it's unlikely your
married mates will have honeymooned there! Be two of the
first people in the worid to tandem paraglide over the peaks
with Himalayan Sky Safaris (£l200pp; himalayanskysafans.
com) or take a private flight around Mount Everest (price on
application; buddhaair.com). If you're watching the budget, a
trek through the modest wedding dresses foothills with The Adventure Company is
also pure wow (14-day Himalayan Discovery from £l339pp
induding flights; adventurecompany.co.uk).


BRING ON
THE BUBBLES
A wedding's not a wedding
without champagne, and the
new Dom Pengnon Champagne
Bar at swanky Hotel Sezz Samt-
Tropez (above), with its rooms
full of designer furniture, is the
chicest place in France to tea length wedding dresses toast
your new Monsieur & Madame
status (rooms from £234;
hotelsezz-sainttropez.com/uk).
And if you prefer your kicks long-
haul, the W Hotel Hong Kong
has a £48 Sunday brunch that
includes free-flowing champagne!
We like. (Rooms from £181:
