But which still ensure plenty of amazing memories that will last you both a lifetime.
Belize
All honeymooners love to vacation in Belize. If you’re an active pair, you’ll love Belize City. With its urban environment that is close enough to the water to enjoy snorkelling and kayaking. If you’re into history, head to Cahal Pech or Xunantunich Mayan sites. Learn about the cultural heritage of this part of the world. There are plenty of affordable all-inclusive vacation resorts here. So you can save cash on drinks and food. While also enjoying lots of contemporary activities such as bicycle rentals and paddleboarding.
Bermuda
If you’d like to stay close to the East Coast, you should head to Bermuda; where you’ll have the experience of a lifetime. There are lots of resorts here with enough bars, restaurants and activities to keep you happy without busting the budget. Many offer complementary treats for honeymooning couples and since Bermuda has a host of affordable and free activities to enjoy such as discovering the Unfinished Church and the Royal Naval Dockyard, you’ll enjoy a great break at a great value price.
Jamaica
If you’re looking for the classic exotic honeymoon experience without spending too much money, Jamaica should be your first port of call. This Caribbean island boasts plenty of resorts to suit all budgets with food and drink all included in the price of your stay. There are plenty of free and affordable activities to enjoy here too, and if your idea of the perfect honeymoon involves lying on white sand beaches, you’ll be spoiled for choice here. Diving is also very affordable here, so you can afford to spend a little more on a good quality dive watch if you want to know how to read the time underwater so you don’t miss your all-inclusive dinner!
California’s Sonoma Valley
If you’d like to stay a little closer to home but still enjoy a luxurious vacation that you’ll remember for a lifetime, California’s Sonoma Valley is a great choice. You can enjoy affordable wine tasting here and with lots of self-catering cottages scattered around, you won’t have to splurge too much on meals. There’s nothing more romantic than a picnic in the heart of Sonoma’s village square!
Tulum
Mexico is a popular choice for any honeymooning couple, but while most head to Cancun, those on a budget head to Tulum on the Riviera Maya which may be a low-key resort but much more affordable. There are fewer tourist traps here and with a gorgeous location on the Caribbean coastline, it’s perfect for sun worshippers and beach lovers as well as anyone who enjoys watersports. There are also Mayan ruins near here which are fascinating to visit if you’re into history and culture.
Vietnam
If you’d like to experience something completely out of the ordinary on your honeymoon, you might be thinking about heading to the Far East. Forget Thailand which may be a more famous tourist choice but also a more expensive one. Instead, consider Vietnam as the perfect alternative. Perfect for all kinds of honeymooners, there is something in Vietnam for everyone to enjoy. If you love hiking, it is an especially good choice of destination. The beaches here are very beautiful; and with such low priced accommodation and affordable food, you certainly won’t need to worry about spending too much when you spend your special vacation here.
Any of these spots would be the perfect choice for honeymooners on a budget, so whether you long for activity or relaxation on this most special vacation of your life, there is sure to be a destination suggested here that truly fits your preferences and your pocket. Good luck planning your honeymoon, and enjoy your first vacation as a married couple! You deserve to have the most amazing time!
