Hi All,
First post here, I am planning for my honeymoon travel and I have a budget of around 2 lac, looking for suggestions for 1 week holiday. I also have around 30k atlas miles and 11k hsbc rewards. Could someone please help here.
I have few destinations shortlisted:
Dates : Early to Mid January
Wife and I are planning an 8 day vacation November 20th - 28th. Budgets roughly $4500 or so, and mainly looking for a nice beach we can just enjoy swimming/snorkelling in and half decent food at an à la carte or occasional buffet if we do a late excursion. Don’t really have a preference if it’s adult only or not, currently have Barcelo bavaro palace booked but seeing a few mixed reviews on this sub?
Hi there! We are planning (quite last minute) our honeymoon trip to Reunion (coming from Belgium). We are arriving on the 31st of August and going on to Mauritius on september 9th. We love hiking and nature, but even after reading several posts and forums and a tourist guide I still can’t figure out what the best way to explore the island would be, because it’s hard to figure out traffic times and accessibility for several local spots.
Do you have any recommendations on how to organize the trip? We want to keep it to a maximum of 3 different stays to still feel a little bit relaxed and not super rushed. I think Cilaos, Piton de la Fournaise, the plains, piton des Neiges, Mafate and Salazie are definitely things we don’t want to miss, but we’d also love to go on a whale watching tour (or even swimming with whales if it is done in a concious and sustainable way). I thought of a stay in the North-East (maybe hell-bourg?) for salazie and Mafate for 2-3 days, then move more South to maybe st-Philippe for the plains and piton de la fournaise, and then end in the west (st-Paul maybe) for whales, cilaos, and piton des neiges.
Even when writing this I feel like this might be too ambitious to put in our 9 days itinerary, so any advice or tips are greatly appreciated!
I’ve made a few posts in here before and done a TON of research and i’ve about driven myself crazy! But now i know what we do and don’t want! Outside of USA is okay.
- Dates will be appx May 21-28 of 2027
- It’ll be my first flight so, I don’t want to venture too far (preferably less than 7-8 hrs) from ATL incase I don’t handle it well.
- We do not want to go sit on a beach. We are not beach people and we are currently tired of being in the blazing sun 😂
- We don’t want the trip to be revolved fully around hiking. I know, we seem picky but we just don’t love hiking!
- We love to see pretty scenery, observing wildlife, trying new restaurants, FH loves breweries but I do not drink (so preferably no places that are mainly for drinking), relaxing, shopping, breakfast places
- Vancouver island is a place that we have come across that looks very interesting to us!
- Budget of appx $5,000
edit to add: also, no cruise. i get very very boat sick!!!
What are the best Hyatt owned all-inclusive beach resorts for couples in Mexico, Caribbean, or Central America to visit in early November… and why?
We would like somewhere with a sandy, swimmable beach (at least sandy and not rocky or sargassum covered); great personalized, attentive service; and various activities/entertainment for adults at a resort that feels luxurious for a good value?
We want to stay under $5-6k (excluding airfare) for 5-6 nights in November. Any special promos/deals I should know about running now or possible upcoming promos to look out for?
What are the best ways/sites to book the resort only (no airfare) for the best deal?
Thanks!
Hi! We are planning a trip (somewhere) tropical in early November. However I haven’t the slightest idea where to narrow down our search to. Ideally we’d like to avoid any chance of hurricanes, even though it’s nearing the end of the season. We would be traveling from Atlanta, so hopefully a flight less than 7 hours? Our budget is on the higher end, I think we are looking for a luxury all inclusive. Activity wise, I think we’re just looking to relax by the pool, the beach, and maybe do a couple of activities. I’m a young woman so I’m also leaning towards places where it would be safe to leave the resort if there are things to do, but I’m also happy to stay on property. Any and all thoughts and questions welcome!
Hey all
I am looking for to go on a trip to Maldives. Somewhere between a date that is between third week of Oct and early Nov and spanning 4 nights.
I am looking at somewhere around $3500 total (+$200 is okay) for properties in Maldives.
Best would be if they are AI - but my partner and I both are not major drinkers anyway. Its a really good perk to have. But at least looking for Half Board/Full Board.
What I am looking for?
A great resort, fun vibes, turquoise blue water, white sand; great set of activities, and good food (dealbreaker otherwise). We are not major snorkelers or divers, so not having as many fishes is not a dealbreaker. Will swim all our time in the ocean though.
However, my partner loves seeing picturesque views of the ocean (European coast) - with white powdery sand and blue sea and sky.
Would love your suggestions!
Hi everyone!
I’m getting married next June and we are going on our honeymoon about 3 weeks later.
We already booked an amazing lodge hotel in Mongolia but we’d love to add one more country to our trip either Japan or South Korea.
Has anyone been to Japan or South Korea in the second half of July? How hot does it get? Is it really that unbearable?
Thank you!!!
Looking for recommendations for my honeymoon. Plan to go the last week of October. We love the beach. Also like the idea of being able to explore the island so don’t really want an all inclusive where we feel stuck, but it’s not a deal breaker. Would like to be able to relax on the beach, walk long stretches of beach, and explore the island/city by car or walking. Hiking would be nice as well. Would like a decent amount of restaurant/bar options. Any and all ideas would be helpful. Would be flying from Philadelphia area. Budget ideally would be around 5k but that is flexible. Going for a week so wouldn’t want to fly to far and lose a whole day.
We plan go go away somewhere between 2-3 weeks in June 2027. We live in the UK and have travelled europe a fair amount already as well as Bali and some of Thailand. So far we have contemplated Koh Samui and Zanzibar. I want an all inclusive paradise where we can snorkel with lots of tropical fish and really get the 'honeymoon' feeling. Would be great if the hotel we were at had rooms with private pools and bars/evening entertainment. Any recommendations of places you've been and loved?
Hello!! Doing lots of research and having trouble finding exactly what we want so turning to reddit to possibly help. Looking for an adults only, beachfront all inclusive.
Big thing we are looking for is somewhere with a great beach but also great snorkeling on the beach. Somewhere we can grab our snorkels and go out to a reef from the resort (if that exists). So far researching I’ve seen the ABC Islands and Antigua are great for that. Looking for help!
If not, places are saying we need a boat that takes you, what is that like? Is that worth it/better than beachfront?
Looking to NOT do Mexico, Jamaica or Dominican Republic- want to go somewhere more unique, which is why we like Curaçao/St Lucia etc
Budget is ideally around 2-3k USD. But open to little more if it’s what we get. TYIA!!!
I am getting married in december and want to visit somewhere outside india i have a budget of around 3 lakhs including flights what are my options?
How many days are recommended, i have mauritius maldives vietnam in my mind (was thinking of japan but i see some expenses which came unexpectedly and now it is expensive for me)
Planning our honeymoon in French Polynesia and trying to keep the cost reasonable. We’d like to stay 8+ and spend at least 2 nights in an overwater bungalow. Trying to stay around 6k a person.
Thinking about splitting time between Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora, but Bora Bora gets insanely expensive. We really like the updated rooms at the Westin Bora Bora, but not sure if it’s worth the extra cost.
For those who’ve been, what gave you the best experience for your money? Stay mostly on Moorea and do 2–3 nights in Bora Bora, or splurge on an overwater bungalow in Moorea?
Also, has anyone booked through Costco Travel using Chase points, or is it better to book Costco and save the points for flights? We’d be flying out of Chicago.
If you had 8–10+ nights to do it again, what would you do?
Hello guys, gonna get married in February, planning a trip to Thailand in March.
It's going to be my first international trip. How should I plan it and what all things are to be done for the trip when I'm in India and what is to be done after I reach there.
Currency exchange, sim cards, etc like what all things am I supposed to do after I reach there? How do I book the hotels, activites, transport, etc.
All your comments are appreciated
Heyo, I'm in charge of planning our honeymoon and I'm looking for some ideas on locations. We live in SE Idaho and we're looking for something super chill, not crazy on the budget. We'll be gone for roughly 6 days in mid-october. Originally looked at northern Oregon coast since her family owns a timeshare out there, but they're booked out. Oregon is still a possibility but we're exploring other options and would love input.
It's important that it's not some huge city that's super busy, would love lots of antique shops for her and cool views/food for me. Thanks!
Hi! Getting married next year and can’t decide where to go to our honeymoon. We’re from Europe and are thinking either Seychelles or a cruise to Canary Islands and Madeira.
Pros and cons of each location? Anyone who has been to those places?
Thanks in advance!!
We’re getting married July 17, 2027 and are planning a 2-week honeymoon. We want a mix of relaxing at a really nice resort and doing some sightseeing/exploring, but mostly relaxing.
Our budget is around $12k USD total including flights from Chicago. We’ve already been to the Greek islands, but would consider a different island if there’s a beautiful resort worth staying at.
Right now we’re deciding between a nice resort somewhere in Europe with sightseeing mixed in, or splurging on Moorea + Bora Bora. We want to do something other than the Caribbean Islands.
What would you choose for a honeymoon with a $12k budget? Is Bora Bora/Moorea worth the money, or would you do Europe for more variety?
I know this is right after hurricane season ends but it is what works best for our schedule. Any recs for the best beach resorts for us in early November that are swimmable (sandy and clean) in this area?
We’re looking to do 5-6 nights for under $6k NOT including airfare and would love an all inclusive resort just for the ease. Anyone have recs or know of places to get a good deal for great experience and service?
Thanks!
Hey all 👋🏻
me and my fiancee are about to get married in October and we want to have our honeymoon somewhere in Asia. She already has been in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and India. This will be my first time in Asia.
We thought about going for a month trip to Japan or China and then two weeks in Thailand for an all inclusive hotel at the beach and maybe some shopping in Bangkok.
Because we don't want to wait a long time, we are thinking of going at the start of November but we can't decide if we should go to Japan or China.
We are foodies that love Japanese cuisine and we also love seeing gorgeous scenery like China has to offer. We know November might be a bit cold so I would like to ask about that as well.
I came here to hear some advice or more reason to choose one over the other, thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts with me 🙏🏻
Getting married July 17, 2027 and planning to leave the following week. We’ve already done Greece (including the islands) and Cancun/Mexico, so we’re looking for something different.
We’re torn between Italy or finally doing the overwater bungalow honeymoon we’ve always wanted. Bora Bora looks incredible, but we just can’t justify $2–3k+ a night right after paying for a wedding.
Currently looking at Moorea or the Maldives and would probably stay ~6–8 nights. We’re leaning toward the bungalow experience of relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, basically doing nothing for a week.
Would you choose Moorea, Maldives, Italy or somewhere completely different? What’s the best honeymoon you’ve done/recommend?
