The Best Honeymoon Destinations in the USA
From relaxing natural settings to bright lights and big cities, the best honeymoon destinations in the
USA are found in the island charm of Hawaii and the versatility of the Big Apple. When spending your first days as a married couple, choose a
romantic setting that not only fits your personalities but also your budget.
Hawaii
Hawaii is known for providing one of the most magical honeymoon destinations in the USA with its selection of fascinating islands. On Oahu, visit Waikiki beach in Honolulu--the home of North Shore surfing and Pearl Harbor. Choose the oldest island in the chain, Kauai, where outdoors adventures unfold. Walk barefoot in the luxurious sands of Lanai, with colorful cocktails and frozen treats in hand. Honeymoon in Maui if you're looking forward to whale watching and mesmerizing sunsets.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas, with its flashing lights and non-stop entertainment, is one of the best honeymoon destinations in the USA and accommodates a wide range of newlyweds. Many couples come to the city for a quick, convenient wedding. The bonus is the spectacular honeymoon that awaits--from giant shrimp cocktails and 99-cent margaritas to unforgettable attractions, such as dancing Elvis impersonators. Whether you're looking to splurge, enjoy a budget getaway or test your luck, Las Vegas offers a memorable stay.
Northern California Wine Country
You don't have to be a wine connoisseur to enjoy a honeymoon getaway in northern California wine country. Newlyweds honeymooning in Napa Valley can sip fine wine while taking in the breathtaking views of rolling hills and quaint countryside inns. Sonoma County offers the scenery of mountain ranges, historic adobe buildings and dozens of wineries that offer daily tastings and tours. Honeymooners often indulge in the region's hot springs, resorts and spas.
Aspen, Colorado
For a winter honeymoon escape, Aspen offers the allure of snowy mountains, hot chocolate kisses and world-class skiing. With a captivating natural setting, Aspen attracts adventurous and athletic honeymooners looking for a spell of romantic relaxation. Hit the slopes by day before settling into a candlelight dinner at a secluded lodge; take a dip in a hot tub, and retire to the glow of a blazing fireplace.
New York City, New York
The city that never sleeps, New York City offers one of the most well-rounded honeymoon destinations in the USA, with endless choices in dining, dancing, shopping, art, theater and historical landmarks. From "Wicked" to "Mamma Mia," attending a Broadway show is a must. Other popular attractions include the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
