Are you getting married this year? Congratulations! As much as you may wish that your wedding planning was over, I am sure that you are excited thinking about taking a honeymoon with your new spouse. Unfortunately, because wedding planning can be so stressful, we sometimes forget about planning our honeymoon. If you are one of those people who has put your honeymoon planning on the back burner, have no fear. Today we will walk you through some of the best honeymoon destinations.

Honeymoon Destinations For Those That Love The Beach:

Who doesn’t love the beach? But, why go to Florida or South Carolina again? These beach destinations are for the traveler in all of us.

Bora, Bora is an incredible place to take a honeymoonBora, Bora

This South Polynesian island has been one of the top honeymoon locations for years. This island is located between the Pacific Ocean and France, surrounded by a large barrier reef. This location is ideal for the couple that wants to get away and get some sun. You can scuba dive, swim, lay on the beach, or just relax as you look into the beautiful waters.

FijiFiji

Another island in the South Pacific, Fiji, has recently been becoming one of the most popular places to vacation in the world. There are so many beaches, waterfalls, mountains, and waters to observe, that you’ll wish you had longer to see it all. This is an excellent choice for any couple who loves the beach but wants to try something new.

In Fiji, we recommend staying at:

Outrigger – FijiOutrigger Fiji

Outrigger Fiji is a family-friendly seaside resort on the Coral Coast of Viti Levu, one of the best islands in Fiji. The 40-acre resort is famous for its complimentary kid’s club that entertains kids of all ages with activities like guided snorkel tours with coral gardening, dance lessons, pool games, art projects, and more. Teens have their own program that centers around local adventures like waterfall hikes and a visit to the Sigatoka Sand Dunes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The resort also offers a nanny service for extra charge and kids under 12 eat free.

But it’s not all about the little ones at Outrigger Fiji. Adults can enjoy some time to themselves at the adults-only pool, complete with a poolside bistro, swim-up bar, and plenty of lounge chairs. Grabbing a drink at the hilltop sunset bar is also a memorable experience, best enjoyed after a spa treatment.

There are multiple accommodation options that range from modern hotel rooms and suites to thatched-roof bungalows. For travelers who have limited mobility, there’s a buggy service that shuttles guests around the resort available 24-7. The resort hosts a variety of family-friendly activities like kayaking, scuba diving, standup paddleboarding, and day trips to some of Viti Levu’s cultural sights.

MaldivesMaldives

Located off the coast of Sri Lanka, this exclusive island is the new up-and-coming vacation and honeymoon destination. If you are someone who loves the thought of looking over crystal waters in your own private villa, Maldives is the beach vacation you’ve been waiting for.

Honeymoons For Those That Want To Stay in the United States

Omni Rancho Las PalmasPalm Springs, California

This retro-cool hideaway is located two hours from the hustle and bustle of larger California cities. In the 50s and 60s, Palm Springs was the place for Hollywood glamour to go to escape it all. This location offers you it all. From getting sun by the pool to exotic and fun places to eat to spas, it’s hard to see why you won’t want to stay forever.

Canoe Bay, Wisconsin

So maybe the beach isn’t really your scene. There is nothing wrong with that! Canoe Bay offers you all the relaxation you need on a honeymoon, without the busyness of the beach or an exotic location. Spend your days sitting by the placid lake, hiking, and roasting s’mores. This is an excellent option for an adventurous or outdoorsy couple.

New York City Romantic Getaway

Get Travel Insurance

Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that can go wrong on any trip. Be prepared for the worst with travel insurance. We use Travelex or Safety Wing (often cheaper).

Book Flights

I use Skyscanner to find flights. I use it so much, I wrote an entire guide to finding cheap flights with Skyscanner! My second favorite site to find flights is Momondo, another great site for finding cheap flights.

Book a Place to Stay

I recommend using Expedia.com or Hotels.com for most hotel bookings. I prefer to book directly with Marriott when I stay there because of their excellent military discount.

If you prefer staying in a vacation rental instead, I recommend VRBO.

Rent Clothes

Rent clothes for your trip with Travel Style Expert for only $50 a month! The first 30 days are free!

Choose Activities and Tours

To find great activities in any area I use Get Your Guide and Viator. If we are visiting a city with lots of popular attractions I always check CityPass and GoCard to see if they have discount cards available.

When I want to book a full-on multi-day tour I use TourRadar. They’ve got fantastic weekly deals. If I am going somewhere in Mexico or the Caribbean I use Apple Vacations.

Rent a Car or Take a Lyft

More often than not Lyft is cheaper than Uber. Use my Lyft link for an $18 credit! For a car rental in any country, I recommend Discover Cars.
