Affordable Honeymoons

Big romance, smart budgets: value stays, off-peak travel, unforgettable days.

Romance doesn’t have to wreck the budget. An affordable honeymoon focuses on smart choices—great locations, solid inclusions, and off-peak timing—so you get standout experiences for less. Think beachy all-inclusive stays, boutique inns with personality, and flight-friendly hubs that stretch every dollar.

Top value spots include Mexico (Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta), the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana), Jamaica, Belize, and Costa Rica in the Americas; Portugal’s coast and the Greek islands in shoulder season; and Thailand or Bali for long-haul value. Look for resorts with airport transfers, daily breakfast or all-inclusive plans, complimentary activities (snorkeling, kayaks, bikes), and honeymoon perks like room upgrades or spa credits.

Our handpicked list of the best affordable resorts and destinations shows you when to go, what’s included, and easy ways to save—like shoulder-season dates, package promos, and points-friendly brands—so you can maximize memories, not spend.
