Home > Travel Guides > The Best Honeymoon Destinations… for each season!
Choosing where you want to spend your honeymoon is a BIG decision – one you obviously want to get right as it’s hopefully going to be a holiday that you will remember for the rest of your lives for being utterly perfect – no pressure then! The main questions you need to answer are, firstly, what type of holiday do you want and secondly, what time of year will you be going?
When you have found a destination that suits your criteria – which you hopefully both agree on – you can then look to find accommodation that fits your budget.
So, is your dream honeymoon one of pure relaxation, do you want the height of luxury in seductive surroundings, or what about an exotic adventure, or perhaps a mix of the two? Is your idea of heaven doing absolutely nothing or is it a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with fascinating wildlife or local culture?
The time of year you are going away will give you lots of food for thought too – for instance you don’t want to end up at an idyllic beach hideaway in the middle of the monsoon season! So here are some ideas to whet your appetite:
Spring:
Paris in April and May is a great time to visit, so if you’re looking for a quick romantic getaway straight after saying ‘I do’ then where could be more romantic? For a longer break what about heading somewhere exotic like Morocco before it gets unbearably hot, or if you would enjoy exploring a diverse range of culture, history and natural wonders then Vietnam would be perfect between April and June. The Indian Ocean is also basking in near perfect weather so the Maldives would be heavenly.
Summer:
Summer is the perfect time to go to the Mediterranean; there is almost nowhere better for reliable hot and sunny weather, so why not indulge in somewhere wonderfully luxurious to make it extra special? The idyllic Greek island of Santorini with its incredible views and famous sunsets is wonderfully romantic. Italy, is also a great choice for a honeymoon and there are many worthy hotels along the Amalfi Coast to make this a holiday of a life-time. If you want to travel further afield then it’s the best time of year to visit Bali which offers everything you could want for a honeymoon. Sri Lanka is also ideal, with its beautiful beaches it would be perfect and early summer is also an ideal time to travel around the USA – and you could combine it with the Caribbean too.
Autumn:
If you adore the colours of Autumn then a honeymoon in New England could be just for you. You could hike around the alpine lakes of New Hampshire, explore the Green Mountain villages of Vermont, and enjoy the islands and beaches of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Sunseekers will adore the Maldives where the tiny coral islands are as close you will get to island paradise and Autumn is also perfect for a honeymoon in South Africa. Cape Town warming up and its a good time of year for animal spotting if you want to combine it with a wildlife safari.
Winter:
For those looking to escape the cold then thawing out in the Caribbean is perfect in the winter months. Thailand is also best enjoyed at this time of year; you could explore the north with its bustling cities, golden temples and elephant trekking followed by relaxation on the stunning beaches in the south.

Always good to book a holiday. E-shores makes the process extra special with their feel good attitude and always give value for money. Their expertise and knowledge is incomparable and can be assured you always get the best holiday and the best prices available. They are the best travel agents in the business as far as I am concerned. Would not go anywhere else - or trust my holiday with anyone else.

We were referred to eShores by a friend who has holiday'd through eShores a number of times. Absolutelty great regards our booking for 4 active seventy year olds!.,to Vietnam and Cambodia in March 2026. Discussed our desires and understood fully what we wanted regarding high quality journey with private transport as approriate and staying in great hotels, whilst we will be able to engage in culture and local food. Journeying from north to south Vietnam then fly to Seim Reap Cambodia, flying via Dubai. NICK was superb in sorting this all out, and we consider aty an excellent overall price. Looking forward now to 2026!

Leanne was fantastic in helping us arrange our forthcoming holiday. Nothing was too much trouble and she went the extra mile to ensure we have the holiday we wanted. Obviously, much now depends on the quality of the holiday when it happens but in terms of organisation and customer service, I have been enormously impressed by eShores.

My husband and I have been using eshores since 2013 and would highly recommend them for amazing tailor made holidays without any hidden costs. The ability to build exactly what we want every time and help guide us when we are undecided without making it feel like any effort is invaluable. Shoutout to Dave who puts up with my indecisiveness and hits it out of the park every time.
