Honeymoons/Destinations
My husband Michael and I just got back from our honeymoon at Sandals Grande St. Lucia, and we’re already planning a return visit (no, seriously). We expected swaying palm trees and breathtaking sunsets—but we quickly realized that we were in for something much more special. Palm trees and sunsets were no match for the island’s two gorgeous, soaring peaks (known to locals as the Pitons), the lush, kelly-green rainforests that blanket the entire island, the exotic beaches (no seaweed in sight), rainbow-hued reefs, and deep teal waters that welcomed us in like a big, warm, salty bath. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more naturally beautiful place. After 7 blissed-out days spent sunbathing, sailing, snorkeling, zip lining, exploring the island's private coves, indulging in five-course meals and rum-spiked cocktails, and taking in blood orange sunsets from our deck, coming back home to a New England snow fall was a reality check! That said, we really can’t imagine a more perfect way to celebrate our marriage, and we wouldn’t have done anything differently. Actually, that’s a lie: We wish we could have stayed!
