Full of delights from across the spectrum, the island boasts a number of sights known for their beauty, high romance quotient and “wow” factors.

Always a popular choice, Montego Bay, is the capital of the parish of St. James and the fourth most populous city in Jamaica. From a photogenic point of view, MoBay (as it is affectionately known) is dotted liberally with colonial buildings - the perfect settings for post-ceremony snaps. It’s also backed by rolling, low mountains, which often produce dramatic-looking cloud formations in contrast with the sun-kissed beaches.

Negril’s beaches are regularly rated among some of the best in the world. With unobstructed views of the horizon, the dazzling sunsets offer the perfect light for the end (or start) of seaside nuptials.

Striking Bridal Backdrops In Aruba

Divi-Divi Trees On Eagle Beach, Aruba

Aruba is a small, perennially sunny Caribbean gem, that is popular with the soon-to-be-wed, and for good reason. With its beautiful beaches and flourishing flora, Aruba’s scenic options can make a couple’s big day a remarkable occasion.

Blushing beach bride. If waves cresting over a stretch of white sand is the order of the day, then Eagle Beach is the destination. Situated just northwest of Oranjestad, Eagle Beach boats a beautiful, powdery shoreline that earns it top spot on a number of “best beaches” lists.

Natural nuptials. Earthy couples will appreciate the natural beauty of the stunning Ayo and Casibari rock formations. While the rugged terrain might pose a challenge for those dressed in their bridal best, these giant boulders are part of a phenomenal landscape. The best time to visit is early in the morning to beat the heat and the cruise ship crowds.

Surf’s up. Andicuri Beach is a stunning black-pebble beach on the island’s east coast. With its craggy cliffs and majestic surf, this hidden gem makes for great photo shoots. While swimming is not advised, the juxtaposition of the turquoise sea crashing against its unique shoreline is simply awesome.

Multi-coloured memories. The picturesque capital city of Oranjestad is impressive eye candy, with its Dutch colonial architecture awash in candy-coloured hues. Plaza Daniel Leo is ideally situated in the centre of the fray, making it the perfect photographic outpost for more bridal photography.

Fall In Love With Maui

Voted As The Best Island In The US By Conde Nast Traveler For Over 20 Years

Iao Needle

Known for its world-famous beaches, Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands. Visitors are charmed year-round with its farm-to-table cuisine, winding cliffside roads, fantastic resorts and magnificent sunrise and sunsets. Known as the "house of the sun" Haleakala is Maui’s highest peak rising over 10,000 feet above sea level, offering a breathtaking view of the sunset and sunrise. Back at sea level, visitors can enjoy views of migrating humpback whales during the winter months.

Be Sure To Visit

Take the drive from Kahului to Hana, a small island town. While the drive is a mere 52 miles, it takes several hours to complete. It is perhaps one of the most famous Hawaiian drives for its narrow one-lane bridges, hairpin turns, and unmatched island views. Pass through rainforests, alongside flowing waterfalls, and past striking seascapes as you navigate the 620 curves and 59 bridges.

Heading inward to central Maui, Iao Valley State Park provides both history and beauty. Guarded by towering emerald peaks, the park encompasses 4,000-acres and is home to the iconic Iao Needle, a green-mantled rock outcropping overlooking Iao stream.

Make sure not to miss the historic whaling town of Lahaina. It is estimated that nearly 400 ships left from here during the mid-1800’s and early 1,500 sailors too leave in the town including Herman Melville of Moby Dick fame. Today, this town is a Maui hotspot with an eclectic mix of shops, galleries, and restaurants. Proudly on the National Register of Historic Places, Lahaina still has many historic spots to visit including the U.S. Seaman’s Hospital, and a prison.

Multi-Generational Family Vacations

In recent years, multi-generational travel has become more and more popular. Instead of just travelling with the kids, families are looking to include Grandma and Grandpa in their family vacations! There are plenty of resorts that offer activities for all generations, from action-packed kids clubs for the little ones to beach Zumba for the grandparents. If you’re thinking about planning a multi-generational vacation of your own, here are a few things to consider.

The Family That Plans Together, Stays Together

No person is an island, so don’t try taking this task on all by yourself! The first step to planning is finding a date that works for everyone involved. Next, list everyone’s must-haves at a resort and decide on a budget. Then, start doing your research by checking out vacation packages! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t narrow it down to one choice the first time you try. Take your time and make sure you pick the resort that’s perfect for you. It’s also a good idea to book your vacation a few months in advance to secure rooms that are close to one another.

Capture Every Moment

Try not to be the person that’s always behind the camera. Don’t be shy asking another guest to take a family photo for you, and of course, always offer to return the favour! Many resorts offer on-site photographers, which are a great investment for family photos and a memento of your vacation that you’ll cherish for years to come. When you get home, pull together everyone’s favourite photos from the holiday and create a scrapbook or photobook using an online service.

Book Tours In Advance

When it comes to booking excursions, you’ll want to book in advance to make sure that they can accommodate your whole family. Make sure to pick excursions that everyone will enjoy - Grandma and Grandpa might not love ziplining across the jungle, but everyone is sure to enjoy a catamaran cruise. You can easily pre-book your excursions in advance, which helps guarantee everyone a spot.

Keep Calm And Carry On

While travelling with the whole family can be a blast, it can also be stressful and there may be times when different family members want to do different things. Remember that it’s everyone’s vacation - give everyone lots of space to enjoy their time off on their terms! Most importantly, keep calm and have a blast creating memories as a family.

Hawai’i

Say Aloha To A Paradise That Is A Must For Every Traveller’s Bucket List

Beauty, adventure and fascinating culture; all these things can be discovered throughout Hawai’i’s diverse islands. With six main islands and over 400 beaches, there is a place here for every person, mood and experience. The best part? There are no private beaches anywhere, so if you can reach it, it’s yours to enjoy. Waikiki is the most famous and popular beach throughout the islands and said to be the birthplace of surfing. Ho’okipa on Maui is renowned for its windsurfing conditions and has plenty of sand to watch from if you’re a little less adventurous. O’ahu’s North Shore is a surfer’s haven, and the spot for some of the world’s best surfing competitions. The sands of Punalu’u Beach on the Big Island are famous for their jet-black colour and being one of the few areas where the endangered green sea turtles choose to lay their eggs. On Kaua’i Island, Poipu Beach is great for families with its tranquil waters and shallow shores. Visit one of these favourites, or talk with the locals to be pointed in the right direction of another gorgeous sandy oasis.

Unlike any part of the United States, Hawai’i will leave you intrigued. While each island offers something different, all will reward you with a unique experience and beautiful backdrop for whatever journey you choose.

Clearwater Beach

The Sunshine State Does Beaches And Beach Life Right

With approximately 663 miles of beaches, there are so many beach destinations to discover for any type of traveller.

The Intracoastal waterways provide travellers with a unique perspective on the Sunshine State. A series of natural inlets, rivers, bays, sounds, and artificial canals, the waterways run on both the Atlantic and Gulf sides of the state, and are a thing of beauty.

Most Florida Visitors Look Forward To Starting Off Each Day With A Glass Of Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice

Beyond the citrus fruits of the Sunshine State, Florida offers a surprisingly colourful culinary selection. Along the coast, discover a wide range of seafood eats, from upscale restaurants to laid-back beachfront cafes. Stone crab, conch, spiny lobster, grouper, and snapper are a must try for any seafood lover. Aside from the food of the sea, there are many other dishes to devour, such as alligator. Typically fried and with a taste like chicken, it will be surprisingly easy to get little ones to try this exotic dish. In Miami, and most of Southern Florida, the Cubano reigns supreme. Served hot, these delicious sandwiches consist of roast pork, ham, salami, cheese, and pickles pressed between thick Cuban bread. For those who have a sweet tooth, try a slice of Key Lime Pie. The official pie of the State, traditional Florida Key Lime Pies are made from tiny limes and egg yolks. Topped with meringue, it delivers the perfect blend of tart and sweet. The vast and tasty foods of Florida are guaranteed to be the perfect way to top off your visit.
