About Imelda McCarthy Travel Counsellor
My name is Imelda, your Personal Travel Counsellor, based in Midleton, East Cork, and I specialise in creating unforgettable honeymoons.
I know that no two couples are the same, which is why I never believe in “one size fits all” packages. Your honeymoon should feel as unique as your love story. Whether you dream of overwater villas in the Maldives, a private pool hideaway in Bali, a chic city stay, or a multi‑centre adventure, I design bespoke itineraries that reflect your personalities, interests and budget. From the moment you start planning until you arrive home, every detail is considered, so you can simply relax and enjoy that special first trip as a married couple.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to visit many destinations that make incredible honeymoon spots, including Australia, USA, Mexico, Peru, Africa, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Bali, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Tanzania, South Africa, Turkey and numerous European gems such as France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic and Cyprus.
Southeast Asia is a personal favourite and a wonderful region for romantic, experience‑rich honeymoons. I have travelled extensively there and worked as a destination specialist for 14 years, so I can bring real insider knowledge to your plans. Imagine spending a night on a traditional Vietnamese junk boat on Halong Bay, watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat in Cambodia, sharing gentle, ethical elephant encounters in Thailand, or taking part in a serene alms‑giving ceremony at dawn in Luang Prabang, Laos. These are the kinds of special moments that turn a honeymoon into a lifelong memory.
In an ever‑evolving world of travel, I stay up to date with the latest trends, openings and safety protocols, so you can set off with complete peace of mind. From luxurious beach escapes and island‑hopping adventures to cultural journeys and safari‑and‑beach combinations, I am here to make your honeymoon seamless, romantic and truly extraordinary.
If you are looking for a honeymoon that goes far beyond the ordinary, you are in the right place. Let my passion and expertise guide you as we design a once‑in‑a‑lifetime trip to celebrate your new chapter together.
“"It was such a great experience booking our honeymoon with Imelda! She has such a warm and welcoming personality. It will be our first trip away on a different continent so we wanted it to be special and Imelda managed to exceed our expectations with the honeymoon package she tailored for us. She is always available to contact via phone call, whats app or email. There is also a travel app that you can download and all your travel information is on it, its great! I would definitely recommend Imelda." V Belousova, Kerry”

"Imelda was extremely helpful, we had an idea of the types of experiences / vibes we wanted but were open to ideas. Imelda was brilliant, she provided suggestions, took our feedback on board and the following day provided 2 amazing options for our honeymoon, and was more than happy to provide additional options but we were already sold! Imelda is really helpful, efficient and a pleasure to deal with." A Leahy 0 8Apr 26
