Cheap Honeymoon Ideas


After exhausting your finances for your wedding, you might consider lowering your budget for your honeymoon.

Here are some of the things that you can do to have an affordable, yet memorable honeymoon.

Choose a closer location

Plane tickets can account for half of the total expenses for your honeymoon trip. If there is a great place nearby, why travel far? Eliminating the need to buy plane tickets would certainly keep your expenses to the minimum. Alternatively, book cheap tickets, choose a cheap airline, or use other modes of transportation

Should you decide to fly in order to reach your honeymoon destination, do consider flying economy class. This will mean substantial savings of up to a few hundred dollars. You can also consider choosing some smaller airlines. They may offer cheaper plane tickets than the more established names. Or, better yet, consider alternative modes of transport. Train or bus rides can be memorable experiences, allowing you to experience more places while allowing cost savings at the same time.

Book your hotels online

There are several online sites that offer luxury hotel stays for lower rates. Some of these are: Classic Custom Vacations, Expedia, Last Minute Travel, Orbitz, Quikbook, LuxRes, and All Luxury Hotels. These sites offer luxury hotel stays at a fraction of normal prices.

Choosing an All-Inclusive Hotel

There are several all-inclusive hotels that guarantee you to have a complete honeymoon experience for less. Such hotels include: Club Med (which has a total of 120 locations in the United States , Latin America, South America, Caribbean, Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Africa ). Other all-inclusive hotels are:

  • SuperClubs,
  • Sandals Resorts,
  • Occidental Hotels & Resorts (Mexico, Aruba, Antigua, St. Kitts, Dominican Republic, Morocco, Costa Rica, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, Venezuela, Egypt, and Tunisia),
  • Sol MeliĆ” Resorts (Dominican Republic and Mexico)
  • Viva Resorts Dominican Republic, Bahamas, and Mexico)

Cruising for Less

Cruises can be an affordable yet romantic honeymoon option. Choose a site that specializes in the last minute deals, and do keep in mind that shorter cruises are generally less expensive. Choosing a cruise that sails at a port near you would further cut the cost of the honeymoon, and doing some research and price comparisons would ensure a good deal for you and your loved one.
