There is something special about picking a unique honeymoon destination that’ll make your friends and family have to google where it is. To help plan the honeymoon, here is a list of jaw-dropping affordable budget honeymoon places around the world. These budget honeymoon destinations are full of relaxation, adventure, beautiful sites, and of course, romantic places for you to spend your first vacation as a married couple.
COSTA RICA
Very few countries on the planet pack in as much into a small footprint as Costa Rica. Stunning beaches with great surf on both coasts that are separated by lush jungles and rugged mountains. Costa Rica has something for every couple, and it’s easy to make sure everyone has the perfect honeymoon. Whether you are a surfer or a sloth lover, Costa Rica has you covered!
Costa Rica is a quick and easy flight from the USA and full of luxury adults-only properties perfect for honeymooners. The perfect Costa Rica honeymoon could be relaxing on the beach either on the Pacific Ocean or on the Caribbean side, soaking in the natural hot springs, zip lining 600 feet above the ground with volcano views, exploring the rainforest, or chasing waterfalls in Costa Rica. From lush rainforest to sun-soaked beaches, this is the perfect adventurous honeymoon destination for outdoor lovers. The sunny warm afternoons at the start of the year make it perfect for rafting, ziplining, or just soaking in the geothermal hot springs.
JAMAICA
You can’t go wrong with a honeymoon in Jamaica. If you are looking for a honeymoon destination that won’t let you down, then head to the beautiful beaches of Jamaica! The sand and sunshine, along with the good vibes of the island, make it the perfect place to spend your first newlywed days together. It’s one of those places with gorgeous beaches, friendly locals, great food, and easy to get to, and it doesn’t break the bank.
Our top pick on the island is the city of Negril and it’s seven-mile beach with white powder sand and turquoise waters. Here you are also not too far from the town so you’ll get to experience plenty of local culture too. If you are looking for more seclusion, head down to the south coast for ultimate luxury and overwater bungalows.
ITALY
If you’re a foodie that also loves culture, wine, history, and gorgeous coasts, head to Italy. The Almafi Coast offers several spots for the perfect honeymoon in Italy. The colorful towns along the coastline with mountains in the background and ocean blues in the front. One of the most magical destinations on the globe, the distinctive regions of Italy are almost like countries in and of themselves.
Sicily is packed with everything from vibrant cities, ancient ruins to an active volcano and some of the best beaches in Europe. The mysterious, beautiful island of Sicily is a paradise waiting to be explored for honeymooners in search of a European adventure on a budget. Coming in at a much lower price tag than Europe’s traditional honeymoon destinations, Sicily offers a somewhat offbeat experience that can still include the best of what Italy is known for: food, landscapes, history, culture, and even ancient ruins.
While on your budget honeymoon in Sicily, consider sipping wine and strolling the streets of the beautiful Baroque towns. Explore Ragusa in the Val di Noto and relax on the beaches of Cefalu or Avola. Tour remarkable Mount Etna, admiring the views from the Greek theatre of Taormina, and explore the churches and history of Palermo. Maybe the best way to enjoy an affordable budget honeymoon through the island is to take a Sicily road trip. There’s nothing like enjoying the views from the open road with your beloved.
TANZANIA
You could easily spend your entire honeymoon in Zanzibar or pair it with a safari honeymoon, as it’s super accessible in Tanzania. We’d suggest a safari honeymoon in the Serengeti followed by some beach and relaxation in Zanzibar. Home to the Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania was made for adventure honeymoons. During June, you can see upwards of a million charging wildebeests on a mission to get to Kenya.
Ngorongoro Crater is home to more lions than anywhere in Africa while Selous Game Reserve and Katavi National Park are essential safari stops. In fact, the natural wonders of Tanzania are endless.
Argentina
Bariloche, Argentina is famous for being called “Patagonia Light.” Located in Argentina’s Patagonia region, this town is also a popular base for hiking and skiing the surrounding mountains near the Lake District.
Things to see and do: Go sailing at the Lake Nahuel Huapi – be warned though that the water is cold all-year round. Join a white-water rafting tour in Manso River. Drop by for your afternoon snack at the specialty chocolate shops located at Bartolomé Mitre. Take a ton of pictures of the gorgeous Swiss Alps-style architecture.
