SINGAPORE: With today’s economic challenges, the traditional extravagant honeymoon can be like a distant dream. However, with some creativity and planning, couples can still enjoy a romantic and memorable honeymoon without breaking the bank. Here’s how couples can rethink their honeymoon dream to fit their budget: Cultural Experiences Instead of focusing on luxury, consider a honeymoon rich in cultural experiences.
Visiting historical sites and museums or taking cooking classes can be educational and romantic, offering a unique bonding experience. For instance, if the Peranakan culture fascinates you, The Intan is the ideal destination to satisfy your interest. This is Alvin Yapp’s personal shophouse residence, and he invites visitors into his home.
Here, you can experience Peranakan culture, traditions, cuisine, and lifestyle up close. A tea, lunch, or dinner visit allows you to admire his extensive collection, including artefacts, embroidery, trinkets, and furniture. Moreover, you can spend the rest of your day discovering the historical Joo Chiat neighbourhood.
Camping and Glamping For nature lovers, a honeymoon under the stars can be incredibly romantic. Camping is an inexpensive option, and for those who prefer a touch of luxury, glamping (glamorous camping) offers a comfortable and upscale outdoor experience. Road Trips Road trips allow couples to explore new places at their own pace.
With the cost of gas being the main expense, road trips can be a budget-friendly.
