Dubai for honeymooners?
One of the world’s most modern cities has been attracting an increasing amount of interest from Canadians looking to travel somewhere luxurious and off the typical path, especially young couples of South Asian heritage living in Vancouver.
Couples flying Emirates First Class or Business Class to their exclusive honeymoon to Dubai soon discover why the destination is a wonderful place to spend the first few days as husband and wife.
Passengers from Vancouver can catch any of Emirates' daily flights from Seattle via convenient connections with its partner, Alaska Airlines.
From Seattle, Emirates flies to its hub in Dubai and on to 132 destinations around the world.
On-board you will have your own private and luxurious space in your First Class suite or a lie-flat bed in Business Class, a personal mini-bar, adjustable ambient lighting, your own vanity table and wardrobe, Bvlgari toiletries and a selection of 1,400 channels of on-demand entertainment on ice, Emirates’ in-flight entertainment system.
Upon arrival in Dubai couples can choose from over a 100 luxury hotels. Dubai offers a combination of age-old traditions mixed in with a cosmopolitan way of life. All of this is set amid a desert landscape and maze of intricate streets, malls, cafes and entertainment venues.
Furthermore, another benefit of travelling to Dubai, honeymooners also have the option of stopping over in Dubai before travelling to their next destination at no additional cost for their flights with the Dubai Stopover Program.
Visiting honeymooners in Dubai have choices – from the opportunity to partake in everything from desert dune drives and some of the finest spas in the Middle East. Take in desert safari adventures Bedouin-style with Arabian Adventures. You and your sweetheart can even camp under the stars and visit desert outposts like the oasis of Dhaid and the fishing village of Dibba.
For shopping addicts who refuse to give up the habit, even on honeymoon, Dubai has some the finest malls in the world. Dubai Mall has over 1,000 shops and an Olympic-sized skating rink, while the Mall of the Emirates houses an indoor ski resort. If couples are looking for a more traditional shopping experience, the gold and spice souks are full of treasures.
From its Dubai hub, Emirates can connect honeymooning couples to beautiful romantic islands such as the Seychelles, a 115-island country spanning an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, offering a private slice of paradise, perfect for couples looking for some “real” alone time after months of wedding planning. For your convenience, Emirates flies you 11 times a week from Dubai to a dream honeymoon destination.
“Considered one of MyEscapades.com’s top honeymoon destinations, the Seychelles islands are quite simply the most romantic destination imaginable,” says Firsdosh Bulsara, General Manager MyEscapades. “Globally known as “the place for honeymoons,” Seychelles with its amazing ecology, uncrowded beaches, vibrant mix of European, African, and Asian culture, a host of couple-centric excursions – above and under water, and above all a wide choice of accommodations, is the place to be for a one-of-a-kind experience in a lifetime,” he added.
Surrounded by clear crystal waters of the Indian Ocean, an abundance of sunshine and exotic wildlife, the islands are dotted with luxurious hotels and resorts and also boast an unspoiled, timeless and unique environment as a majority of the archipelago still remains remote and untouched.
Some of the secluded tropical islands and idyllic hideaways of the smaller islands and the hidden coves of Praslin and La Digue offer romantics peace and privacy. Also, couples should note that most hotels in Seychelles offer a number of complimentary benefits or special offers for honeymooners.
Although as private as can be, far from the stresses and strains of a hectic world, this perfect spot for a romantic holiday, some 1,500 kilometres east of mainland Africa, is easily accessible via Emirates extensive network and convenient connections.
