The wedding is finally over! After you spent endless months on planning and organizing everything, you need a well-deserved vacation. And that’s where the honeymoon comes into place, a period of romance and total relaxation.

But planning a vacation in general can be a stressful situation. You have to search for accommodations, to make the reservations, to buy plane tickets, and so on. And once you get there, you also need to plan activities, to research bars and restaurants, to look for fun activities and events, and so on.

All of this can turn the planning of your honeymoon into another stressful experience. This is why many just-married couples choose to spend their most wonderful vacation at an all-inclusive place. In this article we’ll take a look at the top 11 reasons you should stay at an all-inclusive resort for your honeymoon:

honeymooning at an all-inclusive resort

1. It’s Easy

You just need to pick a resort, make a single payment and then you are all set. The price will cover the accommodations, the meals, the drinks, on-site activities and entertainment. So once you get there you can simply relax and enjoy yourself together with your loved one

2. You Can Stay On Budget

We’re not saying that all-inclusive resorts are cheap, but you know the price upfront. Once you pay it, you can theoretically not spend anything extra there. This is much better than a regular vacation where you are constantly buying from new stores, bars and restaurants, paying for fun activities and so on. The expenses will add up quickly and you won’t be able to keep track of everything. This way you can easily break your budget and spend way too much.

3. It’s Peaceful

You will find family oriented all-inclusive resorts for the entire family, but you will also find plenty of adult only honeymoon destinations dedicated to couples with no children. This means that they are more quiet, and you won’t see kids screaming and running all over the place.

4. It’s Beautiful

All-inclusive honeymoon resorts are by default positioned into amazing places, whether they are close to the beach, near a mountain or a lake. The views are breathtaking, especially if you choose a resort in the Caribbean or other exotic islands.

5. You Have Everything You Need

No need to wander around the city or vacation village in order to get to a swimming pool, a beach and no need to worry about renting a lounge chair. All-inclusive honeymoon resorts located on exotic islands have everything in one place. They have swimming pools, water slides, private beaches, Bali beds, cabanas, lounge chairs and more.

6. Unlimited Food and Drinks

You paid once and now you can just enjoy all of the amazing dishes and beverages the place has to offer. You can now order anything that’s on the menu, without having to worry about the price. Take that exotic food or unique cocktail that you always wanted to try.

7. Fun Activities and Sports

A gym is a must-have for any all-inclusive resort, and it should include all the basic machines to allow you to stay in shape while on vacation. The access is free and unlimited, but you can also attend plenty of group activities, aerobic classes, yoga lessons and so on.

8. Private Pleasures

A gym is a must-have for any all-inclusive resort, and it should include all the basic machines to allow you to stay in shape while on vacation. The access is free and unlimited, but you can also attend plenty of group activities, aerobic classes, yoga lessons and so on.

9. No Need To Carry Money Around

Since you already paid for everything, now you don’t need to worry about always having money (or the credit card) with you. Sure, it won’t hurt to leave some tips if you enjoy the services of the staff, but most of the times you can leave your wallet in the room.

10. Like-minded Guests

If the resort is dedicated to just-married couples, then you will have plenty of opportunities to meet interesting people and make new friends. Sure, you are there to spend time with your loved one, but it doesn’t hurt to socialize and meet new people.

11. Wedding Ceremonies

Some resorts even organize wedding ceremonies that are included in the price. So you can have your wedding there and then start the honeymoon right away.
