You’re doing wedding planning, you may have been doing that for over a decade or more and have chosen the locale for both the ceremony and the reception. Now it’s time to decide on your honeymoon – so you want to research some honeymoon packages. But what kinds? You both might be the type that would love to go to one of those places that has pristine beaches, such as white sand beaches – you both may be beach lovers – and luxurious amenities. That would mean going to an all-inclusive resort. There are other places that you can go that will fit whatever criteria you want, like a cabin in the woods, or even a trip to a major city, whether domestic or international. Here are some ideas for a possible dream destination – many of them are warm-weather places:
All Inclusive Honeymoon Packages
You may have heard this type of phrase thrown around before and not really had an idea of what it meant. Basically, when you pay for one of these, you’re getting everything all wrapped up in one for the room rate – the food, the drinks, and sometimes they may even pay for your airfare and activities on the resort, like spa treatments. Think of a place like the Sandals resorts – they tend to have these sort of honeymoon packages available all the time.
With that in mind, here are some potential destinations for you to pick for your honeymoon planning. First, we have:
Resorts
Jade Mountain Resort
Jade Mountain, which is in St Lucia, is described as being 600 acres in size. It has not one but two beaches for you and your spouse to spend your days, whether it’s just lounging and basking in the warm sun or swimming in the crystal-clear water.
The amenities include such things as butler service, an infinity pool, spa treatments that include facial treatments and full body massages. It’s an adult only resort, and you’ll have a 24-hour front desk to help you with your each and every need. If you like yoga, there are daily sessions.
If taking in scenery is your thing, then you can enjoy looking at the Pitons, which are two volcanic spires – you don’t have to worry about any volcanic activity, though, since they are both dormant. They are named Gros Piton and Petit Piton. You can even walk along a trail, which is perfect for nature lovers. If you want a better view of them, you can take a private helicopter tour – there’s something majestic about seeing them from that far up.
You can also spend time under the water. There are scuba diving sites as well as snorkeling excursions. If you like spending time on boats, then there are also day trips. But if you just want to stay in and enjoy your own private pool, you can do that, too. Are you into biking? You can do jungle biking, which is perfect for nature lovers.
While you are on vacation, you are also at a luxury resort. That means that you can expect a dress code of sorts there. It’s nothing terribly fancy though, more like business casual. They recommend that men wear long slacks or long-cut Bermuda shorts.
Sandals Resorts
This isn’t a specific resort, but it’s a series of them that dot the Caribbean Sea. They can be found all over, from the islands of Jamaica, The Bahamas, Saint Lucia, Antigua, Grenada, Barbados, Curaçao, and Saint Vincent. These include the Royal Caribbean resorts.
You’re not going to be hurting for choices, and all of them are great picks for a perfect honeymoon resort. They will have everything from a breathtaking beach location to luxurious suites to fine dining for a romantic dinner to infinity pools. You may even find a welcome bottle of sparkling wine in your suite.
Do you want to walk around on a beautiful island and marvel at the natural beauty of everything? That’s going to happen if you go any Sandals Resort. They bill themselves as dream destinations, and rightfully so. You can relax in overwater bungalows, go scuba diving, indulge at a swimup bar, snorkeling, walk along beaches with white sand. You can even play golf. Everything can come together in one of many ideal all inclusive honeymoon packages.
Do your research and see what kind of perfect honeymoon packages are out there at Sandals for you and your soon-to-be spouse to create lasting memories.
Secrets Cap Cana
This resort is nestled in Punta Cana, which is a town in the Dominican Republic. It’s got so many options there that it makes an ideal honeymoon package. You and your spouse can make it a wellness resort, since there are a lot of things available for spa lovers, including massages, body wraps, and facials.
There are a lot of things to do at Secrets Cap Cana.

You can even have private picnics on private terraces.
When you go out to eat, there is a dress code – not too strict, but men need to wear long pants, a collared shirt, and dress shoes. Women can wear blouses, skirts, slacks, or dresses and dress shoes.
You can find so many activities to do here and put together a great itinerary to make your time in Punta Cana a memorable one.
Cities, Coastlines, Towns & Entire Countries
Costa Rica
Are you looking for a site for a perfect honeymoon? Whether you like adventure or if you prefer to just be sedentary your whole time, you’re going to find a perfect resort that will fulfill all your needs. The costs per person is pretty reasonable compared to other resorts, especially for what you can get. Usually the best time to go, especially if you want to go to a site like Tortuguero National Park, is between July and October.
You get to see a lot of things here, and depending on where you stay, you might even see visitors come to you in the form of monkeys. They are native to Costa Rica and you can see them in many of the national parks, too. Seeing these monkeys in the wild are something that nature lovers will never forget.
This could wind up being far more than just one of a lot of honeymoon destinations to choose. Many people come to visit, and they wind up falling in love with the Costa Rica area and wind up moving there. It’s become a popular place for a lot of American ex-pats. You could have a great place for a very low cost of living. Your dream vacation could wind up becoming your dream home. That’s going to make for lasting memories, won’t it?
Riviera Maya
There are a lot of resort offers for people who want to stay on this stretch of the Mexican coastline. Do you want a breathtaking beachfront location? Do you want to see historic places like Cozumel? Do you want to relax in an overwater bungalow? Do you want to go scuba diving? Do you want to have private picnics on private terraces while sipping premium drinks?
This area is also known for its historic wonders. There’s a reason there’s “Maya” in the name – there are Mayan ruins that date back millennia. Do you want to stand on something that a Mayan person did thousands of years ago? Come visit here and imagine what it was like back then. It will make you both appreciate current technology and admire what these ancients were able to do with fairly rudimentary tools.
Come see why so many people like visiting Riviera Maya. See the white sand beaches, the archaelogical sites, and experience the diverse cuisine. Take part in the water sports activities, relax in the spa, and you can even see if you can make one of the fairs or festivals, depending on the time of year. If you’re a foodie, then you are going to love all the different kinds of food that will tantalize your palate.
Cabo San Lucas
This is one of the jewels of Mexico. It rivals Cancun in terms of popularity in terms of Mexican locations. Couples seeking fun and adventure can come here for everything from gourmet dining to dancing the night away. Fisherman can have fun going deep sea fishing and seeing what they can reel in. Do you want to go scuba diving? You can do that. You can go horseback riding. Do you just want to relax in a plunge pool?
You can also have a romantic dinner and then retire to one of the many luxurious suites at the resort that you are staying at. Those suites often have private terraces where you can gaze at the beautiful scenery.
All of these places will pride themselves as being a perfect location for a romantic getaway. They will provide you with impeccable service. The all inclusive places will even provide amenities like butler service, so you don’t even have to go out of your way to get anything.
These are just some of the choices in the Caribbean Sea to pick from. All of them work hard to match up with any other resort around. It also depends on how many people are all vying to stay at a particular place at the same time that you’re trying to book.
One reason that a lot of people like to pick the Carribean for their honeymoon packages is because it’s still pretty close to the United States. Travelers aren’t going to being halfway around the world to a place like Australia. There isn’t going to be a tremendously long recovery period when you get there. While there’s nothing wrong with going to Australia for a honeymoon, people who travel there from America should have a longer stay planned. Also, you need to know how much it will be per person. It depends what the resort offers.
Remember, Earth is very large. It’s 3,958.8 miles, which means that there are a lot of different places that people can go if they are planning a honeymoon experience. If we listed every single one of the honeymoon destinations out there from Venice to everywhere on the Pacific Coast, this post would have tens of thousands of words. People know what they want. Some of them would adore spending time in overwater bungalows, while others would be perfectly happy in a hotel within walking distance of the Louvre in Paris. It’s all a matter of preference.
The best thing to remember is that there are so many different choices, and whatever yours is, you shouldn’t look back with regret about any other resort. There’s no way of knowing how your stay at any other place would have gone. The best thing you can do is possibly add them to your list to go to at a different time in your lives.
Wherever your soon-to-be-spouse go, you’re bound to have a great time. If you get a lot of pictures and video, you’ll be able to look at those and fond memories of your time there. That’s what it’s all about – having an adventure that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. You’ll be telling everyone about your perfect honeymoon.
