Fall is one of the most popular times to get married. And it is no surprise since the change of seasons, cooler weather, and brightly colored foliage set the perfect scene for romance.
It also helps that October is a great month for honeymooning, too. Do you travel abroad or stay within the U.S.? Do you embrace the coziness of fall or hang on to the warmth that remains from summer? You will have so many fantastic destination options.
To help you narrow down your choices, let’s take a look at some of the best October honeymoon destinations.
New England
If you want to feel like you just stepped into an autumn paradise, New England is where you will find it. The scenery is brightly colored and breathtaking and with the temperatures hovering somewhere between 50 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit on average, you are going to find yourself cuddling close with your new spouse.
There are a few states that make up the New England area, such as Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. And they are all wonderful options to visit. Because all the states are within driving distance, it is always a good idea to rent a car while you are here. That way you will be able to explore the entire area — and see what all it has to offer you, such as hiking trails and parks, shopping, coffee shops and bakeries, intimate dining, and so much more.
Keep the romance going by booking a bed and breakfast or a cozy cabin so that you can spend time together relishing in the fact that you just tied the knot. And yes, if a resort is what you are looking for, you will find that, too.
New England is the perfect October honeymoon destination if you are seeking some quiet time in a beautiful, quaint place. You will feel worlds away.
Key West, Florida
Some couples find romance on the beach — with a margarita in hand. If that hits the nail on the head for you and your partner, then Key West, Florida may make the perfect October honeymoon destination.
Key West is the southernmost tip of the United States. It is the last key in the Straits of Florida found south of the main peninsula. October is a great time to visit since it falls after the summer rush but before the busy winter season. Not to mention that the weather is great, the rain has dried up, and it is even still warm enough to swim in the ocean.
What better spot to connect with one another? Here you will find fun on and in the water —- snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, or boating. And evenings of candlelit dinners, walks on the beach, live music, and so much more.
Kenya
If you and the one you married are more about adventure and creating a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon so you can save the romance for the rest of your marriage, then book a charter to Kenya. You are going on a safari.
Visiting Kenya during October is perfect because the rain chances are low, leaving you with weather that is hot and sunny — but dry. The Great Migration is still taking place at this time. As a result, large herds of animals will be gathering which makes them easy to spot. This increases your chances of catching a glimpse of the wildlife here.
Today, you don’t have to find yourselves in a tent in the middle of the wilderness. Instead, you will find luxurious safari lodges, beautiful resorts, and even glamping camps. You will be able to have one foot in the modern day and the other on the safari.
Mauritius
Your wedding may have been a day you will never forget, but every moment leading up to it may have left you exhausted — and understandably so.
Don’t start married life being tired. Instead, find yourself transported into a serene setting that is sure to leave you rejuvenated when you visit Mauritius. Never heard of it? That’s because it is a well-kept secret in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar. And it is full of enough luxuries to define it as a true paradise.
Between your stay at a local 5-star resort, elegant dining, local markets, and charming local shops, you will always have something to do. Not to mention the spas, beaches, lagoons, waterfalls, and island-hopping to enjoy. Of course, a sunset on the beach always brings a little romance to the honeymooners.
Because it is south of the equator, winter months are the hottest here. This makes October a prime time to visit. The weather is still warm, but not miserably hot and humid. So, you will be able to enjoy getting out to discover what the island has in store for you.
Sedona, Arizona
A little closer to home, Sedona is stunning and gorgeous. The natural beauty found here is unbelievable and something most people do not really expect until they see it for themselves.
As the colors of the leaves change during the fall season, it is even more difficult to take your eyes off of your surroundings. It’s no wonder why the city won’t allow any building to block the view.
What makes Sedona perfect for a honeymoon? Well, it is a small town that offers a quiet getaway. The weather is perfect to be outdoors exploring the many trails or indoors cuddling at a resort and spa. Of course, there are all the normal things you’d find in a city, like shopping and dining as well.
In all, it is romantic, relaxing, and the perfect place to step away from the hustle and bustle and just spend time with your new spouse.
