Replacing ‘honeymoon’ with something even sweeter, familymoons are taking over the post-wedding agendas. It’s all about everlasting memories after all, right? So, what could be better than experiencing the magic of a new country with your family? Filled to the brim with romance and fun-filled activities in equal measure, these super spots will make an unforgettable holiday for the whole family – not just the adults. Time to say ‘yes’ to a familymoon…

Italy

Astounding Rome, lemon-scented Sorrento, film-screen-ready Tuscany or floating Venice… the choices for a familymoon in Italy are endless. Oh, but you can’t forget primed-for-weddings Lake Garda, beachy Sardinia or swoon-worthy Verona either! With so many destinations to choose from, all freshly formed families will find an Italian pocket for them. Wherever you turn, cheesy pizzas and refreshing gelato will follow you along, as will the picturesque scenery. Now, whether you’re gazing out to sea, towards ancient ruins or across lush vineyards – that’s all up to you…

Iceland

Are you an adventurous couple looking for more of a bucket-list pick than flop-and-drop-in-luxurious-surroundings type of holiday? Pack your warmest jumpers, because Iceland will do just the trick! The crisp Nordic air will greet you there, but that’s just the weather for a cosy stroll through the streets of Reykjavik. Take in the quirky colours of this capital city while the little ones slurp on their hot choccy (extra marshmallows, please!).

When the sun sinks behind the summit, embark on one of the most sought-after experiences in the world – Northern Lights tour, included in your Jet2CityBreak. You can tick off even more must-do activities after too – soak in the hot springs of Hvammsvik, feast your eyes on the scenes of Thingvellir National Park or spot the Gullfoss Waterfall. The whole fam won’t stop talking about it long after you’re back…

Greece

There’s nothing quite like the blue-domed white houses overlooking the glistening sea on your honeymoon… With over 15 island destinations in Jet2holidays’ repertoire, there’s an island or piece of the mainland for everyone in Greece. Santorini might be the obvious choice for some, but it can be visited from neighbours Crete or Rhodes! Beach-lovers, fall head over heels for Kefalonia – when you clap eyes on those champagne sands, you’ll be transported to the tropical Caribbean in no time! Showered with Indulgent Escapes properties, Corfu is another excellent choice for families with a five-star getaway on their mind. For an idyllic retreat, seek out the tranquil Lefkas or Lesvos – those are two different yet equally charming islands, before you ask. Choices, choices…

Madeira

Active families that prefer a warmer climate should head straight to the tropical Madeira. Often referred to as the ‘Hawaii of Europe’ alongside other Atlantic isles, Madeira is a lush oasis where Mother Nature shows off her best colours. Rainforest trails, cascading waterfalls and all-natural lava pools unveil fascinating scenes for your family’s photo album. Not to mention such days come hand in hand with thrilling adventures that will have the little ‘uns out like a light in the evening.

Post-wedding trips are for ticking off items of your bucket list and Madeira’s up there for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Go dolphin or whale-spotting and keep your eyes peeled as these majestic sea creatures thrive in the vast Atlantic waters. Back in the capital Funchal, the wacky toboggan ride is a must! Strap in and hold on to your sun hat as the skilled carreiros, dressed in traditional outfits, steer you down the hills. Fun or what?

Cyprus

Steer from the tourist tracks and spend a week (or more!) in Cyprus after your big day! Whether you choose to fly to Paphos or Larnaca, the island is super-easy to get around with a hire car. They even drive on the left side, so you won’t need to adjust what you’d do normally – straight onto the coastal roads! Prepare to make lots of stops though – the impressive cliffs and rock formations, lapped by the blue Med, are sights to behold! You might want to pack a snorkelling mask to explore them up close too…

When the family is craving a dose of culture, navigate the ancient wonders of Paphos Archaeological Park or explore the Larnaca Area. It’s been built on top of an ancient city, so you bet this city is adorned with time-honoured features. Aqueducts, palaces, monasteries… you name it, Larnaca has it. When you feel as worn out as the historic sites you’ve seen, it’s time to unwind on the Cypriot coast. The country boasts over 70 Blue Flag beaches, so finding a spot to unroll a towel on is a breeze.
