Fiancé and I are debating on which of these two hotels to stay during our honeymoon. We like that HW is adult only and seems like a good honeymoon spot, but it's not beachfront. Those of you who have been, what would you recommend?
Hello,
My honeymoon is in August.
I’m stuck deciding between 2 options:
Samui (3 nights) → Chiang Mai (4 nights) → Bangkok (2 nights)
Or
Samui (3 nights) → Hoi An, Vietnam (4 nights) → Bangkok (2 nights)
Or am I missing a better option? I’m flexible except for that I have to arrive in Samui and leave from Bangkok.
Hello! I am planning a honeymoon for next July with my fiance. We are looking for some affordable ideas that are focused on exploring and a mix of outdoors and city. Looking to spend 3-4k.
We have thrown around a California national park (mixed with some city stops) camping trip, a Rocky Mountain/ glacier/ banff camping trip, South America - maybe Guatemala, or a backpacking trip in Europe if we can figure out how to do it on a budget.
I know this is a lot of ideas, but I was wondering if anyone had done a trip similar to any of these and had advice. I’ve researched each one and am having a hard time deciding which route to go!
Thanks in advance!
Honeymoon Help!
Hi Guys,
We’re looking at going on our honeymoon next year.
We’re very open to any ideas/suggestions.
We’ve got roughly a £10,000 budget.
What do you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance!
We will both be 22, getting married end of May 2027 and would like to leave the Monday after our wedding. A family member has offered to gift us their united airline points and said they can be used on flight, hotel/resort, car rental, or cruise. We initially had thought of excellence PM, but I’m worried that we will get bored at an all inclusive. We’re not really the adventurous type, but more like art museums, strolling shops and streets, and relaxing with good food and drink. Would probably be a Monday-Saturday trip.
My fiancee and I are getting married in March and planning our seven day honeymoon. We are looking in the Caribbean as we are East Coast US based and not looking to spend too much time traveling. However we are excluding both Mexico and Jamaica as we have been there several times. We are seeking an all inclusive resort with a beach that has clear blue water and minimal sargassum. While we will look to relax, we also want to book fun excursions for ~3 of the 7 days. Good food and service are important to us. We'd love to have a room with an ocean view. Our budget is around USD 10-12k. I'd be very grateful for recommendations.
Alright so we’re in a dilemma (a privileged, fun, and exciting one)! We both want similar but different vibes for our honeymoon (me F37, her F30) in March 2027. We live in the Midwest and we’d like to go out of country. I’ve never been out of country at all but she has been to Europe a handful of times.
We’d love to go somewhere for 5-7 nights total, and don’t want our flights/travel time to take too much of our trip time away.
Initially, she mentioned wanting an all-inclusive resort where we don’t have to think about meals. She’s much more of a lay at the pool/beach and read or listen to music gal. And I’m a bit more adventurous- I like hiking, I’d want to try snorkeling or zip lining for the first time, and maybe try some local food. We both love to read, love live music or entertainment, aren’t super foodies but like good food, and don’t typically drink more than 2 nights a week regularly. I’m the planner in the relationship, and she does fully trust me. She said she wouldn’t mind going to a non-all inclusive spot, but I’m just a bit overwhelmed by the idea of 1- choosing a honeymoon spot and 2- going out of country for the first time and not knowing areas.
So I’m here!
I’d love to keep budget to $7k with flights if able to, but slightly flexible.
Is there a spot that automatically comes to mind to anyone? Any suggestions on any pieces I’m missing? Anywhere we can do all of it or does one of us really need to compromise and just plan a separate trip to do both ideas eventually?
Thanks so much in advance!!
Hi everyone!
My fiancé and I are planning our honeymoon in the Maldives for 6–7 nights, with a total budget of around CAD $15,000.
So far, we’re considering:
- Alila
- JW Marriott
- Park Hyatt
- The Westin
- Sheraton
We’re both vegetarians, so having good vegetarian food options is an important factor for us.
We’re happy to do snorkeling, excursions, or other must-do experiences off the resort if they’re not available on-site. Our main priority is finding the best overall experience without stretching our budget any further.
At the moment, Alila, JW Marriott, and Park Hyatt are a little over our budget. If one of them is truly worth it, we’d be open to slightly reducing the number of nights to make it work. We’d especially appreciate recommendations from anyone who has managed to book these resorts within a similar budget or worked with a travel advisor/agent who helped make it possible.
Does anyone have recommendations on which of these resorts you’d choose, or are there any other resorts we should consider within our budget? Also, if anyone has worked with a great travel advisor or agent who specializes in Maldives honeymoons—especially someone who can help us maximize our budget—we’d really appreciate any recommendations!
Thanks in advance!
ISO honeymoon ideas for mountains in the US but still things to do maybe oregon coast vibes? Not sure. Honeymooning at the end of October!
Hoping to spend less than $3,000
Lost between Seychelles and Zanzibar for a honeymoon in early January. Zanzibar’s weather would be perfect but I’m fascinated by the landscape and vibes of Seychelles. Insights please?
What should we do as newly weds for our honeymoon to New Orleans? We are open to new foods! I really enjoy the spooky side of things, the culture due to some of my family being from Louisiana, bonus points if you can also give us a good hotel to stay at!
not necessarily looking for specific places to stay but more city recommendations (although specific lodging is okay)! may 3-8. travel advisory with experience in this location is welcome
we’re not wanting to/looking for:
- a stay on the beach
- super crowded city (i know crowds are inevitable but just don’t want something crowded to the extent of LA)
- hiking
we do like:
- sightseeing
-pretty drives
- breweries/wineries
- trying new restaurants
- shops
- wildlife (probably not applicable here but was just on our original checklist)
- beautiful views
we would like to stay well under $400 per night for lodging if possible. 🤍🤍🥰
My fiancé and I are getting married next September and are trying to figure out where to go on our honeymoon. We wanted to go somewhere tropical but given its hurricane season, we don’t want to take the risk. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to go/places to stay? We thought about Europe (maybe Greece) but looking for suggestions on where to go and stay! We would be going closer to the end of September and may go into October some.
Hey… I got married last year in Feb. Since then we have been to Austria ( Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Hallstatt), Amsterdam and Barcelona ( got sick so couldn’t properly visit it). In India we went to Goa and Corbett.
So this would be our second International trip together. ( I have also visited Vietnam, Thailand, Dubai, Kazakhstan, Singapore and Malaysia, Greece and Italy prior to getting married).
We are planning a two week vacay, preferably somewhere with pleasant weather and not super crowded.
We were planning Italy ( Rome and Puglia) but I’m unsure what the weather would be like, plus o am dreading the crowd in Rome.
Would love other suggestions from everyone. Budget is not really a constraint so go crazy I suppose.
We also don’t want to keep changing our hotels every other day so planning two cities and day trips from there.
Does anyone know of any all inclusive resorts in Greece that would be good for a honeymoon in late September early October?
Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations for places to stay and things to do for a honeymoon in the gatlinburg and pigeon forge area. Dates would be 9/16-9/21. A secluded cabin would be my first choice, but there are so many options. Would be nice to have the option to do things in both areas with a short drive to both. My fiancé and I enjoy the nature aspect while also loving some night life!
Hi everyone!
My fiance and I are planning a honeymoon in Italy for spring 2027. It's our first time in Italy so we are trying to see the major sites while still building in time for relaxation.
For reference, we're both in our early 30s and have some experience traveling. We love to experience new places through food, museums, and lots of walking. Hoping to get some feedback on the pacing of our itinerary - open to recommendations!
April 26 - Travel - NYC > Rome (redeye)
April 27 - 30 - Rome (3 nights)
* Day 1 - Explore + recover from jetlag
* Day 2 - Vatican
* Day 3 - Colosseum, Pantheon
April 30 - Travel - Rome > Chianti
April 30 - May 3 - Chianti region (3 nights)
We're looking for hotels in the countryside that have a restaurant and some outdoor space or a pool so we can spend most of our time relaxing in one spot.
* Day 1 - Relax at hotel
* Day 2 - Wine tasting(s)
* Day 3 - TBD - more wine tastings, bike rentals, a cooking class?
May 3 - Travel - Chianti > Florence
May 3 - 6 - Florence (3 nights)
* Day 1 - Explore! Maybe a food tour?
* Day 2 - Galleria dell’Accademia, the Duomo, Mercato Centrale
* Day 3 - Uffizi Galleries
May 6 - Travel - Florence > Positano
*May 6 - 11 - Positano (5 nights) We are open to other spots on the Amalfi Coast to help save some money, but have heard from friends that Positano is worth the splurge. This portion of the trip is for relaxing, so we don't plan on moving around much. Also to note - I get bad motion sickness so no boat tours although I know it's highly recommended
* Day 1 - Relax at hotel
* Day 2 - Explore Positano
* Day 3 - Beach club / cooking class?
* Day 4 - Day trip to another town (Ravello, Capri?) or Path of the Gods
* Day 5 - Explore Positano
May 11 - Travel - Positano > Naples > NYC
Also! I know May 1 is a national holiday and a lot of things will be closed. Would we have any issue doing wine tastings in the countryside that day?
Thanks!
Hi all! First time poster on Reddit, so I apologize if this is not the best worded post.
I was looking for some guidance on what to do for my honeymoon. I am getting married in August 2026 and want to take my honeymoon any time after that until June of next year. I am not wanting to travel to anywhere affected by hurricanes during Hurricane season, but am open to traveling to those destinations after the season is over.
I am leaning towards going to Cancun/Playa del Carmen for our trip, but it is hard deciphering which resorts are worth staying at. We are wanting to stay at an adults-only resort and want some activities to go along with it. My fiancé and I love arts and crafts, so it would be great if the resort offered an activity that is in that genre.
As far as resort vibes go, we are open to an energetic or relaxing resort. We are pretty easy going people and can fit in with either vibe or a mix. We are in our early/mid 20s for additional context.
Our budget is 2-3k for 5-10 days (the longer the better), not including flights. The max that we could do is 4,500 with flights going from Chicago or St. Louis.
Thank you dear Redditors in advance for any insight you might have!
Hi all! My fiancé and I are getting married October 16th, 2027. Our original plan was to go on a cruise, however, I’m afraid we won’t have many options that leave right after our wedding date. So we are scratching that in favor of something different.
Our wants: fun, adventure, good food and with an option for relaxing.
Don’t want: my fiancé does not want to be on a beach for the entire honeymoon, he’s not a big beach person (I am though lol!)
We have a 15-20k budget total with flights included. We have about ~2weeks for the honeymoon. We both have our passports and would be flying out of CVG.
Some places we’ve considered: Italy, Tanzania, Ireland, Scotland, Alaska, Thailand, Cape Town, Indonesia. We would like to do Japan for our one year anniversary.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I’d love itineraries, other options, etc!
