The best babymoon destinations

Are you getting ready for the arrival of your baby? This is a special time, but it’s also a life-changing one. 

To indulge in this time before your little one arrives, you may be considering a babymoon. Many couples are embracing this opportunity to relax, reconnect, and recharge before the whirlwind of sleepless nights and nappy changes begins. 

If you’re planning a getaway, here’s your guide to ensuring your pre-baby holiday is as stress-free and memorable as possible.

Why a babymoon is the perfect pre-baby treat

A babymoon is a meaningful opportunity for expectant parents to enjoy time together before their family grows. Pregnancy often brings its share of stress and planning a babymoon provides an excuse to slow down and focus on being a couple.

Choosing the right destination plays a key role in making your babymoon special. A location that offers tranquillity, pampering, and romance can help you unwind. For many, this means destinations that cater to the slower pace needed during pregnancy, with plenty of options for rest and relaxation.

Some couples prefer a staycation to avoid the fatigue of long-haul travel, while others are drawn to sun-drenched beaches or indulgent spa resorts. The key is choosing a destination that suits your comfort and energy levels. It’s also important to ensure you have all the information you need before you board a plane. 

Top Destinations for Rest and Romance

Cornwall
For a babymoon closer to home, Cornwall’s scenic coastline and charming villages are hard to beat. The region is known for its boutique hotels, where you can enjoy spa treatments tailored for those who are pregnant. 

You can spend your days exploring quiet beaches or enjoying coastal walks with spectacular views and your evenings sampling fresh, locally sourced cuisine. 

Santorini
The iconic white-washed villages of Santorini offer a romantic escape. Stay in a luxury cliffside resort with private plunge pools and uninterrupted views of the Aegean Sea. Many hotels that cater to couples seeking relaxation, along with gourmet dining experiences.

Maldives
If long-haul travel is still on the cards, the Maldives is a dream destination for babymooners. You’ll both be able to while away the time lounging in an overwater villa while enjoying uninterrupted ocean views. 

The Cotswolds
Another staycation option is the Cotswolds. Known for its rolling hills and honey-hued stone villages, a holiday here is a quintessential countryside retreat. Stay in a luxury manor house or a cosy cottage with open fires and spa facilities. 

The slower pace of life here is ideal for couples seeking quiet moments together or you can book a break in time for some quirky local events. Anyone for a duck race?

Tuscany
With its picturesque landscapes and world-renowned cuisine, Tuscany is a top pick for a romantic babymoon. Indulge in fresh pasta and gelato, explore vineyards (with mocktails for the mum-to-be), and stay in a villa with scenic views of the Italian countryside.

Stress-free planning

Planning a babymoon should be as stress-free as the trip itself. Start by considering package holidays, which can simplify the process and ensure every detail is taken care of. Look for options that include flights, transfers, and accommodation at pregnancy-friendly destinations.

When booking accommodation, prioritise resorts or hotels offering prenatal spa treatments, pregnancy pillows, and menus that are suited to those who are pregnant. Destinations with easy accessibility and minimal travel time can also help reduce stress.

Also, plan your itinerary with rest in mind. Gentle activities like scenic walks and candlelit dinners are ideal for this special getaway. Most importantly, listen to your body and prioritise comfort above all else.
