About Florida
Average Cost of a One Week Florida Honeymoon
Planning a honeymoon in Florida can be a wonderful experience, but it’s important to budget wisely to make the most of your trip. Here’s a general breakdown of costs for a one-week honeymoon in Florida, including airfare, accommodations, and daily expenses:
Airfare
The cost of airfare can vary significantly depending on your departure location, time of year, and how far in advance you book. On average, you can expect to spend anywhere from $300 to $800 per person for a round-trip ticket to Florida. Be sure to book your flights well in advance to secure the best deals.
Accommodations
Accommodation costs will also vary based on the location within Florida and the type of lodging you choose. Here’s a rough estimate:
-
- Luxury Resorts: $250 – $600+ per night
- Mid-Range Hotels: $100 – $250 per night
- Budget Hotels/Motels: $50 – $150 per night
- Vacation Rentals/Airbnb: $100 – $300+ per night (varies greatly)
For a one-week stay, calculate the cost based on your choice of accommodation.
Daily Expenses
Daily expenses will depend on your lifestyle and preferences. Here’s an approximate breakdown of daily expenses per person:
-
- Meals: $50 – $150 per day (varies based on dining choices; consider eating at a mix of restaurants, including some budget-friendly options)
- Activities and Entertainment: $20 – $100+ per day (depends on the activities you plan; some attractions or tours may cost more)

Don’t forget to budget for other miscellaneous expenses, such as travel insurance, tips, and any special experiences you want to have.
Average Total Cost
To calculate your total budget, add up the estimated costs from the categories above. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate, and actual expenses may vary based on your choices and circumstances.
For a mid-range honeymoon in Florida, you might expect to spend approximately:
- Airfare (per person): $500 – $600
- Accommodations (for 7 nights): $700 – $1,750

However, this is just a general guideline, and your actual costs may be higher or lower based on your choices and preferences. It’s essential to plan ahead, set a budget, and prioritize the experiences that matter most to you on your honeymoon in Florida.
Best Time to Visit Florida
The best time to visit Florida for your honeymoon depends on your preferences for weather and activities. Florida is a popular honeymoon destination year-round, but here are some considerations for different seasons:
- Fall: Fall is a fantastic season to visit Florida. The weather is good, and crowds are generally lower than during the summer months. You may relax on the beaches, visit national parks, and save money on hotel rooms.
- Winter: If you prefer milder weather, the winter in Florida is ideal. The weather is cooler than in the summer, making it excellent for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring, particularly in central and southern Florida. Southern Florida, which includes Miami and the Florida Keys, offers warm winters, making it a popular winter getaway.
- Spring: Another ideal season for a Florida honeymoon is spring. The weather is pleasant, and the natural splendor of the state is in full bloom. Beaches are less crowded than in the summer, and the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. Spring break can attract crowds to some regions, especially in March.
- Summer: Due to the pleasant weather and school vacations, summer is the busiest tourist season in Florida. While the weather can be hot and humid, it’s a great time for beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts. Expect greater crowds and higher accommodation charges, particularly in famous tourist spots such as Orlando and Miami.
Consider the specific destinations you plan to visit in Florida, as the weather can vary across the state. For a beach-focused honeymoon, you might prefer the spring or fall when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are more manageable. If you’re interested in theme parks, the cooler winter months might be more comfortable for exploring.
Ultimately, the best time for your Florida honeymoon depends on your interests, tolerance for crowds, and weather preferences. Regardless of the season, Florida offers a wide range of activities and attractions for honeymooners to enjoy.
