FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Start by deciding when you want to travel, how long you can go for, and your rough budget. Then check out our Start Planning Guide, Weather by Month, and Honeymoon Budget Tips to narrow down the best destinations for your dates.

Book 9 to 12 months in advance if you can (the earlier the better for peak travel times like Christmas, Easter, Summer).

Most couples spend 10 to 14 nights on honeymoon, but it’s a person thing. A short minimoon might be 3 to 5 nights, while multi-destination honeymoons (like safari and beach) often need two weeks or more.

Like with everything wedding related, how much to spend on your honeymoon is a very personal thing not to mention, the cost of a honeymoon varies by destination, season, and travel style.

Over the years, we have seen couples spend anything from € / $ / £ 2000 to € / $ / £ 40,000+.

As with life, you get what you pay for and we’ve never heard of anyone get on a plane and regret the money they spent.

Make sure it’s affordable for you and a number you are both comfortable spending and that it’s a trip that is of good value for your hard-earned money.

It depends where you’re headed. Each of our destination guides includes a “Best Time to Visit” section, or you can browse our Weather by Month page to see where’s in season for your honeymoon dates.

We’re always adding new destinations! You can contact us to suggest a destination via our contact form or check back soon – we update the site regularly and share new guides on Instagram and Pinterest.

In this uncertain world we live in, political and civil unrest can happen anywhere. On top of this, we have the climate catastrophe.

We’d strongly recommend checking your government’s travel advice (some links included below) and also checking what is covered with your travel insurance provider.

Do not travel to a destination where your government has warned against non-essential travel as this may void your travel insurance.

We might be biased (The Honeymoon Guide was founded by a travel agent!), but if planning travel isn’t your thing, or you’re already juggling enough with wedding planning, consider booking your honeymoon through a licensed and bonded travel agent in your country. It takes the pressure off and ensures every detail is handled.

No. The Honeymoon Guide is an independent editorial blog – we don’t sell trips. Our goal is to help you research and plan confidently before booking through your preferred travel provider or if you prefer to DIY.

Because we need to fund the running of the Honeymoon Guide, we have some affiliate links and ads across the platform.

If you click on any affiliate links and choose to book something or buy something, we may earn a small commission but at no extra cost to you.

We really appreciate this and want to assure you our recommendations are completely impartial and independent; we only recommend what we love and we think you might, too!

No. We do not accept guest posts, paid backlinks, or “link builder” collaborations. These dilute our editorial integrity. Due to the large volume of requests received, any such requests will not receive a response.
