How about honeymooning in a tent cottage?  Built by hand, as not to disturb the surrounding environment, the tents are connected by elevated walkways to prevent soil erosion.  Trade winds cool the rooms.  Prepare to bathe with biodegradable soap with pull chain showers – which of course drain into the surrounding vegetation.

They also offer 3 other eco-accommodation options for your enjoyment

Of course, you get the beauty and serenity of the Virgin Islands – including gorgeous blue water, white sand beaches, hiking trails and exceptional views!

In this day and age, it’s common that couple’ are combining homes, and therefore, they do not need to register for the typical stuff of days ole’.  Likewise, some couples just don’t want to go through the process of registering because they want to minimize.  Then, there are other couples need a traditional registry, but want to feel good about what they do on their wedding dazes.

So, what do you do?

Donation registries.

There are tons of charities on the web where you can create a bridal registry – by either donating to a charity directly, or working with stores that will donate a portion of your guests’ purchases to a charity of your choosing.  You simply place the registry address on your website and your guests choose what they want to give.

The registries allow you to give in so many different ways – it’s wonderful!  It’s quick, easy – and a way to help others.

Ibo, Mozambique

A unique, beautiful, and serene honeymoon destination

Although one cannot deny the activities which attract honeymooners from around the world; such as, scuba diving, the many magnificent beaches that await, the most pristine and unexplored island reef ecosystems in the Indian Ocean that provides refuge for 10 globally threatened bird species and five globally threatened turtle species, and the rich biodiversity – Ibo Island Lodge has also contributed positively to the Ibo way of life!

Kevin and Fiona established this first Ibo Island Eco Lodge in 2007. They built Ibo Island Lodge with a sustainable tourism ethos – giving back to the island community and assisting in the conservation and education of visitors and staff alike.

Poverty among the island’s 4,000 residents was driving slash-and-burn agriculture and habitat loss, unsustainable fishing, and illegal hunting of marine turtles and sharks. The opening of the Eco Lodge presented numerous new jobs and a viable economic alternative for Ibo Island’s community. It helps enforce national park regulations and engages community members in park patrolling. Ibo’s community trust fund encourages and supports entrepreneurial projects by local people.

Ibo Island Lodge in Quirimbas National Park, Mozambique is an outstanding example of how eco-tourism, sustainable economic growth and conservation can go hand in hand.

Happy Traveling!
