For our honeymoon, my wife and I chose the upscale, luxurious Westin Maui Resort with stunning views of seasonal humpback whales breeching in the Maui Channel, catamaran sailing from Kaanapali Beach, terrific restaurants with sunset views, and the kind of tropical weather you can only enjoy in March in Hawaii.
But for a more romantic and more intimate honeymoon, you can now choose a secluded lux resort: Boutique’s Astarte Suites. It features a new collection of destinations, including:
• Santorini, Greece — with nine sumptious villas with their own plunge pools, patio daybeds, and jaw-dropping views of the Aegean Sea.
• Planned honeymoon boutiques:
– Mangosteen Resort in Phuket, Thailand,
– The Banhoek Vineyard Lodge in South Africa,
– The AtlanticView Capetown,
– The Elounda Village on Crete, and
– The Tsitouras Collection, also on Santorini.
Martin Buehler, founder and chairman of Boutique Hotels & Resorts International, said: “The Boutique Honeymoon Collection is a logical expansion of our customer oriented presentation. It is our desire and mission to make it as easy and exciting as possible for the potential guest as well as our travel industry partners to find just the right boutique lodging experience.�?
