Divorce Vacation Packages That Cater To New And Soon-To-Be Divorcees

Huffington Post     First Posted: 08/23/11 04:05 PM ET   Updated: 10/24/11 06:12 AM ET

At Casa Velas, a luxury resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, sulking after a split is not an option. Instead, the hotel recently announced its new "Divorce Package," available from August 1 through December 22, that encourages divorcees to celebrate their fresh start.

The package includes a stay at the hotel's Presidential Suite, a jewelry consultation to redesign engagement rings, spa treatments, and more--even a ceremonial burial for your wedding ring, coffin included.

But Casa Velas is not the only vacation destination that caters specifically to divorcees. Click through the slideshow below for more options, including some that give a new meaning to the term "quickie divorce."

The Divorce Hotel
1 of 6
For €2,500, you and your soon-to-be ex can check in to the Divorce Hotel in the Netherlands and officially dissolve your marriage in one short weekend. Prior to arrival, the manager will conduct a pre-consultation session to ensure a smooth and successful divorce process. The hotel offers two single rooms, help from an estate agent, and access to psychologists to help you get the closure that you need.

Sounds like the hotel bar would be an interesting place!

Would not go there looking for romance though, freshly divorced folks have far too much baggage they need to unload before getting involved with them.

That's exactly why I dated a stripper after my divorce. Can't think of a better way to have unloaded some of my baggage.

Great stock photo of a boat. I guess Royal Caribbean doesn't have a website where HP could get a photo of the actual boat.

Slide #5 "...help you put on a brave face by practically giving you a new one with included ... waxing services"

A lot of bearded ladies getting divorced lately?

My dream had always been to visit Russia. Cold war, marriage, children all kept me from it. One Sunday my wife and I sat down: two hours later had agreed to separate and divorce. 11 days later I landed in Moscow, not knowing a soul and unable to speak a word of Russian.

It was the best divorce gift I could have given myself

Stalin used to send people to Siberia. You want to visit there too?

No, he wanted to go to St Petersburg and Moscow. His wife wanted to send him to Siberia.

I have been to Siberia a number of times. Southern Siberia is starkly beautiful.
