Honeymoons

Now the real fun starts...

Living in Orange County certainly has its appeal, but there’s a whole world out there to explore, and your honeymoon is the perfect time to get out and broaden your horizons, not to mention indulge in a bit of luxurious R&R. Check out a couple of the most sought-after destinations for romantic bliss.

The French Countryside
French Country Waterways combines land and water to explore charming French villages, historic architecture and the gnarled vineyards that produce some of the world’s finest wines. Meandering through the canals of France on the well-appointed barge Esprit brings guests to history-rich Dijon and the private cellars of Burgundy vintners.

The Ultimate Mini-Moon
Of course, there’s nothing “mini” about the St. Regis, Monarch Beach, but if you’re looking for an exotic honeymoon getaway that doesn’t require lengthy layovers and five forms of I.D., our own fair county might be the first place to look. Start by booking a suite like the St. Regis Master Bedroom, which features two marble bathrooms, custom-designed furniture, goose down comforters, and a private balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the resort’s Grand Lawn and the pool. Luxury amenities and personalized services like butler service, 24-hour room service and a complimentary shuttle to the beach assure that you’ll not want for anything, let alone a trans-Atlantic flight.

St. Regis Resort, Monarch Beach, One Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point; (949) 234-3200, www.stregismb.com
