2027 honeymoon destinations that aren’t the Maldives, reveals a North East agent
- Advertisement Feature
Honeymoon planning just got a whole lot easier, and a lot more exciting.
Reight Signature is the dedicated honeymoon side of Reight Travel, a North East travel agency that’s been crafting trips for over a decade, and its latest brochure is basically a love letter to newlyweds.
So, if you’ve spent the last year juggling seating plans, florists and your auntie’s plus-one, consider this your permission to switch off and start dreaming about the bit that’s just for the two of you.
YOU’VE PLANNED THE WEDDING, NOW LET SOMEONE ELSE PLAN THE REST
By the time the big day’s sorted, the last thing you want is 47 browser tabs open comparing villas. That’s where Reight Signature comes in. You’re paired with a dedicated honeymoon specialist who gets to know you first: how you like to travel, what you’d happily splash out on and what you’d rather skip.
From there, it’s refreshingly simple. After your first consultation, you’ll get up to three tailored quotes, and you’re free to tweak them as much as you like. Fancy swapping a city stop for a few extra nights on the beach? Done. Once it feels right, you book, and the only job left is packing.
It’s bespoke honeymoon planning without the headache.
WHERE ARE COUPLES HEADING IN 2026/7?
Not sure where to start? Reight Signature’s top 10 honeymoon destinations for 2026/27 is perfect starting point ot take off.
The Seychelles takes the top spot, followed by Thailand, Bali, Greece and the Maldives. Italy, Cape Verde, Canada, the Canary Islands and the Caribbean round out the list, so whether you’re picturing turquoise lagoons or long lunches on an Italian terrace, you’re covered.
And it’s not all sun loungers. The team plans city breaks to Rome, Paris, Amsterdam and New York, safaris across South Africa, Tanzania and Kenya, and cruises through the Norwegian Fjords and the Mediterranean. With partners including The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, MSC Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line, you’re in very good hands if you’ve ever fancied a honeymoon at sea.
Two passports, endless options.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
One of the handiest pages in the brochure is its guide to when to go, because nobody wants to land in paradise mid-monsoon. For an African safari, aim for the dry season between June and October. Southeast Asia’s at its loveliest from November to February, while French Polynesia shines in May and September.
Getting married in spring or autumn? Europe’s sweet spots are April to May and September to October, when it’s warm enough for evening strolls but quieter than the summer rush. The Caribbean peaks from December to April, with May and June offering a shoulder season that’s well worth asking about if you’re after a little more breathing space.
Match the destination to your date, not the other way round.
ADVICE FROM PEOPLE WHO’VE ACTUALLY BEEN
What we love most is that the recommendations come from a team who clearly live and breathe travel. Kem, who’s visited 26 countries, is a big fan of Thailand, not only for the food, people and culture but for its ethical animal sanctuaries. Megan, with 28 countries under her belt, rates Jamaica for its “amazing activities, music and food” in a laid-back, beautiful setting.
Lauren’s heart belongs to Italy, which she says offers “a great mix of city life and lake towns”, while Nadia’s pick is New York for its “vibrant city” energy, skyscrapers and famous sights. That’s the kind of first-hand insight you just can’t get from a comparison site.
Real people, real recommendations.
HAPPY COUPLES, HAPPY RETURNS
Recently married couples are clearly coming home glowing. Rebecca described her Thai villa as “super romantic and private. Perfect spot to relax”, which sounds like exactly what a post-wedding brain needs. Amy, meanwhile, praised the team’s “great service”, saying they were “on hand for any questions”.
That reassurance really matters when you’re booking the trip of a lifetime. Reight Signature is a PTS member and IATA accredited, and their holidays are ATOL protected, so you can hand over the planning and properly relax.
Peace of mind comes as standard.
A LOCAL TEAM WITH A GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE
There’s something comforting about booking with a team on your doorstep. With Reight Signature based right here in the North East, you’re not a ticket number in a faceless call centre. You’re chatting to people who know exactly what you mean when you say you need proper sunshine after a long northern winter.
Whether you’re newly engaged and daydreaming, or you’ve just said “I do” and realised you’ve not booked a thing, it’s worth a chat. Pop the kettle on, flick through the brochure together and start picking your paradise.
And honeymoons are just one part of the story. Reight Signature covers the whole love journey too, from engagement trips and bach parties to venue finding and destination weddings, so whatever stage you’re at, there’s a good chance they’ve already planned something similar.
Your happily ever after starts here.
