When should I start planning my honeymoon?

As early as possible. The properties Beverly recommends — particularly overwater bungalows in Bora Bora and villas on the Amalfi Coast — book out twelve to eighteen months in advance for peak season.

What is the best honeymoon destination for an overwater bungalow?

Bora Bora in French Polynesia is the standard-setter. The lagoon color, the privacy, the quality of the top-tier properties make it genuinely as beautiful as it looks.

Honeymoons

Luxury Honeymoon Planner.

Beverly Schulte is a luxury honeymoon planner based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Through Paradise Travel, she designs private, fully customized honeymoon itineraries to Europe, French Polynesia, Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Mexico.

Start Planning

The Season You're In

Your Honeymoon Should Not Be a Project.

Planning a wedding is already a full-time job. Planning a honeymoon on top of it — researching overwater bungalows, comparing villas in Positano, figuring out what the reviews are not telling you — adds weight to a season that should feel light.

Beverly handles the trip. You focus on everything else.

Spending Right

What a Luxury Honeymoon Actually Requires.

A great honeymoon is not about spending more. It is about spending right. The right property for how you two actually want to spend your time. The right pacing — not so full that you come home exhausted, not so empty that you waste the location. The right moments built in that you will still talk about years later.

Beverly has planned enough honeymoons to know the difference between a beautiful photo and a beautiful experience, and she builds toward the latter.

Where to Go

Honeymoon Destinations Beverly Specializes In.

Italy and the Amalfi Coast

Few honeymoon destinations match the combination of beauty, food, culture, and privacy that Italy offers. Beverly knows the properties on the Amalfi Coast that are worth the price, the ones to avoid, and the quieter alternatives that most couples never find because they are not looking in the right places.

Bora Bora and Tahiti

The overwater bungalow in French Polynesia is one of the most requested honeymoon experiences in the world — and one of the easiest to get wrong. Beverly knows which properties deliver and which ones look better in photographs than they feel in person.

Greece — Santorini, Mykonos, and Beyond

Santorini is stunning. It is also crowded in ways that can work against a honeymoon if the timing and property selection are not right. Beverly navigates both.

Maui and Hawaii

For couples who want luxury, natural beauty, and a slightly shorter flight, Hawaii — specifically Maui and the Four Seasons properties on Lanai — delivers at a very high level. Beverly specializes in building Hawaii itineraries that go beyond the resort.

St. Barts, Turks and Caicos, and the Caribbean

Private villas, calm water, exceptional service. The Caribbean at this level requires knowing which islands and which properties actually deliver what they promise.
