Asheville is the perfect destination for a laid-back style honeymoon.  If you're a "do my own thing at my own pace" kind of couple, Asheville is a prime choice for you. 

If you want to get some one-on-one time with nature and your new spouse, the Blue Ridge Mountains offer some refuge.  There are many activities and adventures to enjoy in this exciting area.  Rafting, mountain biking and rock climbing are available for the more enthusiastic explorers.  Calm water float trips, Appalachian walking trails, fly-fishing, and beach areas are for those who just want to spend some relaxed time in the fresh air.

Downtown is an exciting place to visit.  There's always something going on.  You can sit at one of the many cafés and listen to local artists while people watching.  Winding through the 30 plus galleries can easily make up a nice day of hand holding strolls. While getting lost in the city make sure to check out the architecture. With a mix of Art Deco, Beaux-Arts and Neo-classical styles it's the pride of the city.   There are plenty of unique shops and dining experiences that will complete your time in downtown Asheville making it unforgettable.

When you're looking for a little entertainment to round out the end of your day, heading back to downtown is the thing to do.  The city seems to transform after dark into a funky nightclub right out on the street with street musicians and the popular long-running drum circle.

After a long day of site seeing and exploring, it's easy to find a place to put your feet up. Asheville has over 50 charming bed and breakfast and inns or you can get away from it all with a stay at a local mountain cabin.  There are also over a dozen spas and wellness centers that offer relaxing and romantic treatments for a little extra pampering. 

So if you're looking for a little R and R for your wedding or honeymoon destination before you have to get back to the hustle and bustle of real life, Asheville is the perfect escape.
