The Brando, Tetiaroa
Marlon Brando said, “My mind is always soothed when I imagine myself sitting on my south sea island at night. If I have my way, Tetiaroa will remain forever a place that reminds Tahitians of what they are and what they were centuries ago.”

Encompassing 12 islets that surround a lagoon over four miles wide that is a 20 minute private plane ride from Tahiti.

Most importantly, the hotel upholds the principle of responsible luxury. This is a honeymooners luxury paradise, the hotel allows for a maximum of 80 guests. All 36 villas have their own swimming pool which opens onto the lagoon. There are three restaurants, two bars and room service is available 24 hours to enjoy a meal on your private beach.

Southern and East Africa
Gorilla Trekking is sure to be a conversation ignitor when people ask where you’re going for your honeymoon! Most people envision a trip to Africa that includes the continent’s iconic animals: elephant, big cats, giraffe, zebra and more – and that is certainly a magical part of safari. But there is so much more to your time in the African bush and the variety of accommodation styles ensures comfort and relaxation. The photo below is a private dinner outside the safari tent in the Naboisho Conservancy of Kenya. Beach lovers can enjoy a day trip to the Seychelles, Zanzibar or the Kenyan shores. Normally Africa is not on the honeymoon radar, view our African honeymoon information for more stunning photos and recommendations. Runway Travel will ensure you will be pampered and have all the required information regarding shots, insurance, visas, entrance requirements, etc.
