Durek Verrett gave fans a glimpse of his honeymoon with Princess Märtha Louise, sharing a glimpse of the couple’s luxurious private villa on Instagram.
The 49-year-old shaman revealed that he had surprised the Norwegian royal with a trip to Villa Macakiziv in Turkey, an idyllic location featuring a large private pool, lush greenery, and elegant furnishings.
In another photo, the newlyweds were seen posing happily together at a waterside restaurant. Märtha Louise looked radiant in a yellow ruffle dress, while Durek sported a printed shirt.
Durek wrote, “After our breathtaking, love-filled, and truly enchanting wedding, shared with the most beautiful, creative, and inspirational family and friends, I whisked my beloved wife @iam_marthalouise away on a surprise honeymoon—one crafted for the purest of hearts. We journeyed to a paradise where I spent my early years, surrounded by the loving and nurturing spirit of Turkey’s rich culture.”
He continued, “Our private villa by the sea @villamacakizi became the perfect haven to share our love, devotion, and the dawn of our new beginning as husband and wife.
“For the first part of our honeymoon, we welcomed our cherished family and friends to join us in celebrating, surrounded by the warmth and love they bring into our lives.
“Every moment was designed to make my wife feel as loved and nurtured as she so selflessly nurtures everyone around her. My love, this is just the beginning. There is so much more to come.”
Märtha Louise, 53, and Durek, married on August 31, 2024, in front of 350 guests at the Hotel Union in Geiranger, Norway.
The bride was stunning in a custom Tina Steffenakk Hermansen ivory wedding dress and King Olav’s Gift Tiara, a gift she received on her 18th birthday. Durek looked dashing in a black tuxedo, with the couple’s monograms embroidered in gold on his jacket.
The celebrations spanned the weekend, starting with a meet-and-greet on Thursday, followed by a Latin American-themed pre-wedding party on Friday.
