Many spas around the country now offer packages that help set your minds in the mood of love and adventure which is essential for having a memorable honeymoon.

Make it musical

Music is an extremely important tool in creating a romantic atmosphere which is essential for your honeymoon. You should identify songs that appeal to the both of you and put them in playlist.

You could hand this playlist over to your hotel operator and ask them to be played throughout your stay (mostly at night). Do this and you’ll have a wonderful honeymoon filled with romance fun and music.
