The honeymoon planning timeline
When to book, what to ask for and the little touches worth arranging in advance.
By Farhan, Travel Brat
The best overwater villas for peak wedding season (November to February) are often booked nine to twelve months ahead. Here's how we'd plan it.
9–12 months out
Confirm your dates and shortlist resorts. Many offer honeymoon benefits if you travel within a year of your wedding.
3 months out
Book the special moments: a sandbank dinner, a couple's spa ritual, a sunset cruise. We'll arrange them all so they appear on your itinerary — no queues at the guest-services desk.
Two weeks out
Send us your marriage certificate for honeymoon perks, and any dietary notes. Then pack light. You won't need much.
