Congratulations! You’ve gotten through the hardest part of planning and your wedding is behind you. But don’t think that because the stressful part is over, you’re done making arrangements! When deciding where to enjoy your honeymoon, you will want to consider your budget, the season and of course, the type of experience you want to get out of it. Luckily, there are ways to have an affordable honeymoon at all sorts of beautiful locations! So first you must ask yourself… what kind of honeymoon do I want?

Exotic Beaches

For many couples, beaches are a staple for vacations. There are many beaches both in the country and internationally that serve as wonderful exotic honeymoon locations. If you and your partner prefer keeping things social and maybe engaging in water sports and group excursions, an all-inclusive resort may be a great option for you. On the other hand, if you prefer a secluded get-away on the shore, you may opt out for a more private island retreat. This may be in the form of a beachside hotel room in Hawaii or a hut on the beaches of Thailand.

Unwinding

If your main goal is to unwind after the stress of planning your wedding, make sure your destination is fitting for relaxation. Although you may not want to do much scheduling, you will want to come up with a few activities ahead of time in order to keep you excited for the vacation and to assure that you don’t find yourself bored after a day or two. For a stress-free honeymoon, spend your days taking leisurely hikes and splurge on a nice massage. Yoga or meditation is a great way to start your mornings or end your days. Research what kind of activities and classes are offered in the area.

Cruise Ships

If you’re torn between an all-inclusive resort and traveling, consider getting best of both worlds with a cruise ship trip. On a cruise ship, you can choose to relax and pamper yourself with massages and pool-side naps, or you can opt out for a more adventurous cruise ship that has long stops, kayaking, and a rock climbing wall. Cruise ships can also be more affordable for many couples than other international trips.

Connected with Each Other, Disconnected from the Rest

If you want to spend your honeymoon completely secluded with your partner, a great option for you is renting a romantic cabin in the mountains. The mountains are especially wonderful because they allow for building a snowman and snuggling by a fireplace in the winter and with a nearby lake, hiking and swimming in the summertime. Disconnecting from the rest of the world is also great for having a romantic, yet budget-friendly honeymoon.
