Perfect honeymoon ideas for Sweet Gibraltar Weddings
There is so much to think about when planning your wedding in Gibraltar, from the wedding breakfast to the bouquet. With all this focus on the wedding day itself, don’t forget that Gibraltar has so much to offer for your honeymoon as well! Whether you choose to stay on after your wedding in Gibraltar, cross the border to explore sunny Spain or venture over the sea to Morocco there is something to suit every appetite from intrepid adventurers to dedicated beach bums.
Enchanting delights await in mainland Spain
It’s a simple hop, step and a jump (and a flash of your passport) to enter mainland Spain and a world of delights await you. The grand palace architecture and serenely beautiful gardens of the Alhambra in Granada invite you into the world of Moorish medieval Spain and provide the perfect place to unwind after the excitement of your wedding in Gibraltar. Fancy a horse-drawn carriage ride to dinner? Enchanting Seville is the place for you with delicious Iberian cuisine such as cured hams and tender octopus to enjoy. You want to party with the stars and rub shoulders with the yacht crowd? Head to nearby Puerto Banus, the clubbing capital of Europe and the favourite party destination of the jet set.
Explore vibrant Marrakech
Further afield (but not much!) are the winding streets and vibrant markets of Marrakech – it’s a short ferry ride from Gibraltar but it still feels like a world away. The ancient medina offers a maze of shaded alleyways to explore during the heat of the day and a riot of street entertainment and aromatic cuisine to enjoy in the evening. A visit to the souk is not to be missed and here you will find almost anything from textiles to trinkets, spices to snakes! The palatial riads of Fes offer an opulent boutique hotel experience, perfect for lounging poolside and enjoying elegant fine dining to unwind from the excitement of your wedding in Gibraltar.
Whichever you decide, it is all within easy reach of your Gibraltar wedding venue so there’s no need to traipse back to the airport and repack your suitcase – just sail off into the sunset or hop in a hire car and cruise up the coast for your perfect honeymoon.
