Planning a Romantic Easter Getaway

The Easter weekend presents a great opportunity for a holiday getaway and for the married couple it could be the wonderful opportunity for a second honeymoon. This season is also characterized by weddings and the honeymoon taken at this time is quite memorable indeed. There are quite a number of Easter getaway destinations; it all depends on the couple’s choice of relaxation venue. The choice may be between places that have a marked Easter culture where this holiday is commemorated with pomp to quite toned-down locations that offer relaxing holidays. A first honeymoon destination may be an island or tropical location where the couple can enjoy their early marriage days in colourful places that actually specialize in this. Such locations may include islands like Hawaii, Seychelles or Zanzibar. This works for a second honeymoon too where the couple may get to enjoy a similar experience as their first honeymoon or a totally new one.

A religious married couple may opt to visit historical sites such as Israel or Greece which celebrate Passover or Easter on a whole new dimension. Such destinations offer a variety of activities in commemorating this feast, such as fireworks displays and parades around the cities. The couple is bound to catch an enactment of the days leading to the biblical Passover as well as the real sites that this happened, such as the Via Delarosa in Israel. Such an experience is quite moving for the religious and may kindle spiritual feelings for the not so religious. Apart from the spiritual bit, culturally these sites are rich in their practices which they have preserved for years. Some of the biblical sites are intact with most of the features remaining untouched, save the necessary upkeep. They also provide a perfect location for the wedding of a lifetime with the picturesque landscape.

For varied reasons, some couples may not be able to get away for a very long period of time and may have to find a location locally for the weekend only. In such a case they should shop for a quiet serene atmosphere such as a villa or cabin close to home so that they are not inconvenienced. The beauty of not travelling far is that the couple gets to spend more time together. In some cases it is not the beauty of the location but the quality time spent together that matters. Such a getaway allows the couple to bond on a whole new level which puts the spark back into their marriage.

The adventurous couple may opt to go for a cruise by taking advantage of the numerous offers available at this time for such holidays. These may be a bit pricey, but the magic of being out in the sea is always captivating. Luxury cruise ships have exciting activities for their guests on Easter holidays which include romantic dinners for couples on honeymoon or celebrating their anniversary. Special buffet dinners are also served which include all the traditional Easter delicacies like ham and potatoes.
