Sort through the confusion and plan your dream honeymoon
Pro-tips to save money on whatever destination you choose
You have spent endless hours researching online and reading tons of review for that perfect location for your Honeymoon. Your best friend recommends a resort where she spent her last Spring Break that allowed them to sleep in a double room. You’ve also been looking at that uber expensive resort your boss escapes to at least once a year. It’s luxury all the way but it has a health/wellness theme so you’re not sure if your other half will be happy with all the “healthy meals” and the lack of TV in the room, not to mention the hefty price tag. You’re confused, lost and wondering if there is someone out there that can give you the “real deal”. The answer to your question, yes there is and that is why we do what we do!
To get you started, we’ve put together a list of great Honeymoon destinations based on several budget levels. After you read this list you will see that there is not one bad option, you just have to choose based on your budget and the experiences you are looking for in a Honeymoon.
STANDARD BUDGET
$5,000 & UNDER
Riviera Maya, MX
Flights are very affordable which is great because flights tend to be the biggest part of your travel budget nowadays. The quality of service and food is wonderful and there is a wide selection of resorts that fit everyone’s personality. From the over the top private plunge pools to luxury small boutique resorts that offer personalized service.
Puerto Rico
Again, flights are affordable and although the island DOES NOT offer any all-inclusive resorts, there is no need for one here. The island has amazing nightlife, plenty of activities (the longest zipline in the world), amazing diving and even surf lessons. From small inns to 5 star resorts there is a wide range of properties to suit everyone.
PREMIUM BUDGET
$5,000 – $10,000
St. Lucia
Considered the most romantic island in the Caribbean, St. Lucia is in a class of its own. Between the Pitons, volcanoes, black sand beaches, excursions and breathtaking views you can be assured your experience will be exotic and super romantic. There is something for everyone in the islands and no one will be bored.
Bali, Indonesia
The land of meditation and yoga, if you saw the movie or read the book “Eat, Pray, Love” then you have an idea of the beauty found in Bali. What you may not realize is how affordable it is. Airfare to Bali will take a pretty big bite out of your budget but once you are there accommodations, food and attractions are quite low. You can have a once in a lifetime experience at a surprisingly low budget.
LUXURY BUDGET
$10,000 +
Maldives
Located on the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a group of idyllic islands that are very popular with VIPs and celebrities due to the breathtaking landscape and privacy. The Maldives have over 2/3’s of the world’s over water bungalows makiing this an ideal location if you want an over water bungalow and don’t want to do Tahiti.
Seychelles
A very popular location with royalty (Prince William & Kate, Princess Madelaine & Chris O’Neill both honeymooned there). The Seychelles Islands are unique in that half of the islands have formed on granite rock. There are huge granite boulders on the beaches making them a location unlike any other in the world.
South Africa
Southern Africa is one of the most popular destinations for travelers and for good reason. It is one of the most romantic places on earth, and a luxurious combination of African style and European flair can be found here. Southern African Romance does not disappoint those seeking solitude, beauty, wildlife, and luxury. An 11 day South African Adventure complete with game drives, wine tasting and a 3 day island relaxation escape will set you back around $15,000 including airfare.
