Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an average honeymoon cost?
The average American honeymoon costs $4,500-$6,500, with most couples spending between $3,000 and $10,000. Caribbean and Mexico all-inclusive resorts are the most popular option, typically running $3,000-$7,000 for a week. European honeymoons average $5,000-$12,000, while luxury destinations like the Maldives or Bora Bora start at $8,000-$15,000 for a week. Using credit card points for flights can cut costs by 30-40%.
When is the cheapest time to honeymoon?
Shoulder seasons offer the best value: Caribbean in May or early December (before Christmas surge), Europe in April-May or September-October, Southeast Asia November-February (dry season but not peak holiday weeks). Avoid school holidays and major US holiday weekends. Booking flights 2-3 months ahead and hotels 3-6 months ahead typically yields the best prices. Tuesday departures are often cheapest for flights.
Is an all-inclusive resort worth it for a honeymoon?
All-inclusive resorts are excellent value for couples who want to relax without worrying about costs. A good Caribbean all-inclusive runs $250-$500/night per couple including meals, drinks, and basic activities — comparable to or cheaper than paying for a hotel room plus restaurants and bar tabs separately. The main downside is limited local exploration. For destinations like Europe or Japan where the culture and food scene is the attraction, all-inclusive makes less sense.
How do we budget for a honeymoon on top of wedding costs?
Many couples set aside 10-15% of their total wedding and honeymoon combined budget for the trip. Start saving early — even $200/month for 12 months gives you $2,400 before adding wedding gift cash. Consider a honeymoon registry instead of traditional gifts, use credit card sign-up bonuses for free flights (many travel cards offer 60,000-80,000 points), and consider delaying the honeymoon 2-3 months to spread out costs and find off-peak deals.
