You might already have a long list of babymoon ideas, but how do you decide? Most babymoons are more about relaxation than anything, although there’s no reason why you can’t have a little adventure. Whether it’s wandering the cobbled streets of Siena in Tuscany or lying on the palm tree-fringed shores of the Maldives, there’s something for every kind of ‘babymooner’. Enjoy this ultimate list of the 19 best babymoon destinations!
When is it safe to travel to your babymoon destination?
The first trimester is the time you’re most likely to experience nausea, meaning it’s not the best time to go on your babymoon. For this reason, many prospective mothers go on their babymoon in the second trimester when the sickness has typically passed. Plus, you’ll still feel comfortable enough to travel.
1. Costa Rica (Unique babymoon idea!)
Costa Rica is the ideal place to slow down before your little one arrives. It’s also one of the greatest babymoon ideas! Here, ‘Pura Vida’ is a way of life; join the locals in connecting with nature, as you take a barefoot walk on the beach with a coconut in hand.
Spend your babymoon appreciating the incredible wildlife, spotting red-eyed tree frogs among the rainforest canopy, looking out onto volcanos, and witnessing some of the most beautiful ocean sunsets.
Babymoon Hotels in Costa Rica
Many people choose to camp in Costa Rica. However, there are plenty of more comfortable options for your babymoon, from reasonably priced guesthouses to jungle eco-resorts and beachside luxury retreats.
2. Umbria, Italy
For a unique take on a Tuscan babymoon, head to Tuscany’s underrated neighbor: Umbria! This beautiful central region of Italy is often forgotten about in favor of other destinations, and wrongly so. Discover its charming cobblestone towns, beautiful churches, lakes, and viewpoints. It’s even home to one of the largest waterfalls in Europe! Best of all, it’s a little cheaper than Tuscany, so a very affordable option for an Italy babymoon destination.
Umbria Hotel Babymoon Ideas
If you want a city break, consider staying in one of the bigger cities like Assisi, Spello, or Perugia. These cities are all good jumping-off points to explore the rest of the region. For a relaxing babymoon, choose to stay in an Agroturismo or a countryside resort. This is the perfect way to relax, looking out over the beautiful rolling hills as you unwind by the poolside. See all hotels in Umbria.
3. Menton, France
Candy-colored houses, the smell of lemons, the sway of palm trees, and the sound of the Mediterranean sea. Yes, you’ve reached the sunny shores of the French Rivera! Menton might just be one of the most perfect babymoon ideas; discover this beautiful town just a stone’s throw from Italy.
Spend your babymoon relaxing under a parasol on the beautiful beaches, wandering the cobblestone streets, and enjoying French food by candlelight. You could even take a day trip to nearby Monaco (ooh la la!).
Menton Babymoon Hotels
The old town and the beaches are the best locations in Menton and give you easy accessibility to all the things to do. See all hotels in Menton.
4. Hawaii (Best USA Babymoon Destination)
Hawaii is one of the best babymoon destinations (especially for parents from the USA)—an island of dramatic cliffs, mountains, jungle, and incredible wildlife. Although you may not be surfing on the famous Hawaiian waves, it’s a great place to people-watch or join a tour to spot unique wildlife, from dolphins and humpback whales to turtles and Manta Rays.
Take the chance to discover its incredible culture by watching the locals perform typical Hawaiian chants and dances in the traditional dress.

Picture spending your babymoon lying by the pool, looking out onto the beach, surrounded by a ring of palm trees, with the sounds of the waves crashing—bliss!

Alternatively, journey further inland, and you’ll find beautiful eco hotels nestled deep within the rainforest. See all hotels in Hawaii.
5. Paris, France (Romantic Babymoon Idea)
Next up—and one of the all-time most fantastic babymoon destinations—it’s Paris! What better place to spend time with your partner before the baby arrives than the city of love itself?
If you want a relaxed trip, stay in a beautiful hotel, take a romantic dinner cruise down the River Seine, and picnic under the Eiffel Tower. For the culture vultures, there are endless things to do, with more museums and galleries than you can count. Best of all, this is a babymoon destination where macarons are always on the menu!

Paris has a fantastic selection of beautiful hotels to stay in. Choose a self-catering apartment, a boutique hotel in the hillside district Montmarte, or a 5-star hotel with the chicest decor. See all hotels in Paris.
6. The Maldives (Ultimate Babymoon Destination)
The Maldives is undoubtedly one of the best honeymoon destinations, so it makes sense that couples consider it one of the best babymoon ideas. There is no greater way to prepare for your new arrival than a week or two in paradise itself.
Slow down by spending your days walking barefoot on the whitest sand and swimming in the most transparent waters with vibrantly colored sea life. It’s the perfect place to fully embrace the tranquility of island life.
Maldives Babymoon Hotels
The Maldives is synonymous with luxury resorts, so many might think this would be an expensive babymoon idea. However, while it’s pricier than some destinations, it can still be visited at a reasonable price if you stay in guesthouses or apartments on the islands. See all hotels in the Maldives.
You might want to explore by beach-hopping in Trincomalee, or finding secret corners of fascinating towns like Kandy. Alternatively, for a more relaxing experience, head to the south of the country, to places like Unawatuna or Tangalle, where it’s all about slow beach living.

One of the best things about Sri Lanka is that it’s home to some of the most incredible accommodation. Here, you’ll find plenty of beachside resorts to choose from at a great price and with the best service.

There’s something so romantic about a cozy trip to the winter wonderland of Iceland. It’s also home to a wide variety of accommodation.

9. Bali, Indonesia
Bali is one of the most relaxing babymoon destinations. It’s an incredibly spiritual place (named ‘Island of the gods’) where you can unwind and connect, not only with your partner but with nature too. Relax by the poolside at a beachside resort in Seminyak, or spend your days exploring the boutique shops of Canggu. Alternatively, use this time to tap into your inner zen at a retreat in jungle paradise Ubud; there’s truly something for every kind of babymoon in Bali!

It’s home to beautiful cities (Lisbon, we’re looking at you!), but also cliffside coastline and deep valleys. However, most importantly, it’s the home of Pastel de Nata (custard tart!). Need we say more?
Start in either Porto or Lisbon, enjoying the sights of the cities (wear comfy shoes because they’re hilly!) before heading off to the coastline of the Algarve or the rivers and viewpoints of the Duoro Valley. We highly recommend renting a car in Portugal so you can experience all the destinations the country has to offer.
Portugal Babymoon Hotel ideas
Many people choose to travel by campervan in Portugal, as it’s famous for its beautiful ocean roads and great surfing. You can also find some very comfortable van options.

Thinking of a city break? Singapore might just tick all your babymoon destination boxes. The city may be big, but it also has secret corners that are very peaceful, like the extraordinary Botanic Gardens and the massive parkland that covers a large part of the city. The most impressive part of all is the sky gardens, an ‘avatar-like’ landscape of giant mechanical trees covered in lights (book your ticket here). It’s truly a magical experience!
