Tailor-make your Mozambique Honeymoon

Palms swaying, Palms sweating, Romantic kisses, Dreamy sunsets and soft sandy beaches… Now that’s what honeymoons are made of!

Did you know that, in ancient Greece, the newly married husband had to spend time with his father-in-law during the first full moon of his marriage? During this time the two chatted and got to know each other. As part of their male-bonding experience, they dined on special foods and drinks - the most popular of which was a beer made from honey. This ritual became known as the ‘honeymoon’ and was about preparing a young man’s mind and body for fertility and fatherhood. In modern times, we have simply ditched the father-in-law and decided it is far more rewarding to spend the ‘honeymoon’ with the beautiful bride!

The word ‘honeymoon’ evokes feelings of a carefree escape filled with romance and complete couple contentment. As the good old Greeks were aware, it is a time to enjoy, and focus on, one another without any influence from the outside world.

Rani Resorts, the leading island resort and hotel group in Mozambique, has developed its own resorts in unique, unspoilt island, beach and wilderness locations that set them apart from mainstream destinations, yet remaining committed to the support and development of sustainable ecosystems as well as the local communities.

Easily accessible from South Africa, Mozambique is close in proximity and offers a safe environment for those wishing to discover its untouched beauty and splendour. From idyllic Indigo Bay Island Resort and Spa in the Bazaruto Archipelago in the south, to magical Matemo and Medjumbe Islands in the jewel-like Quirimbas Archipelago in the north; African adventure, private island-style romance and soul-to-sole rejuvenation awaits.

Good luck to all the brides-to-be! Even though this can be a stressful time; remember to love, laugh and live. For life is not about the numbers of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
