Whether you are looking for barefoot luxury on pristine beaches or a brush with wildlife on safari, our destination specialists can help you plan your getaway for two before the stork arrives.

Check out our favorite places to spend your babymoon below.

Africa

If you’re up for a long-haul flight, South Africa is an exciting winter babymoon idea because of its malaria-free game reserves. Combine a few days spent exploring Cape Town with a luxury safari in Madikwe or Kruger National Park.

Additionally, you can combine a stay in South Africa with some time spent relaxing in Seychelles. For the ultimate barefoot babymoon, head to North Island Seychelles. With sprawling villas complete with private plunge pools, four pristine beaches, and discreet service, it’s the ideal destination to pamper yourself and spend your precious days as a twosome before baby.

Latin America

Some great babymoon ideas usually include some laidback beachside luxury. We therefore recommend hopping down to Panama to split time between its two coasts. Hole up in the over-water villas of Nayara Bocas del Toro. And escape to the private island paradise of Isla Palenque.

There’s also nothing more relaxing for an expectant mother than a day of pampering and relaxing an aching body at the spa. At Puyuhuapi Lodge & Spa in the Chilean lakes district, that’s just what you’ll get. The lodge is set against the blue waters of a fjord, surrounded by ancient forests. With indulgent spa treatments and floating Watsu massages, it is a fount of luxury in the middle of nowhere. And while they focus on relaxation, there’s also plenty to explore on land and sea in the Aysén region, be it fjords, ice fields, snowdrifts, glaciers, national parks, or mountain ranges.

Europe

From the United States, most places in Europe are pretty accessible and make great options for a babymoon. The Mediterranean waters, in particular, prove a welcoming, natural remedy for all types of pregnancy ailments. 

The Greek Isles offer a relaxing escape, especially when you venture outside the typical tourist-heavy hotspots. And in Portugal, it doesn’t get more luxurious, nor will you find better pampering, than at Vila Vita Parc in the Algarve.

Asia

If you are early enough in your pregnancy that long-haul flights won't be too uncomfortable, then Asia has plenty of great babymoon ideas, especially among its beaches.

 The Maldives is the ultimate destination for pampering and barefoot luxury. At the One&Only Reethi Rah, you can even enjoy a spa treatment in a suite over the water. And if this isn’t your first babymoon, you can even bring the entire family as the One&Only Reethi Rah is family-friendly, equipped with a kids club and babysitting services. 

For a relaxing babymoon that isn’t focused on beachside bliss, head to the jungle retreat of Como Shambhala Estate in Bali. With an emphasis on holistic health, its spa and wellness offerings are top-notch and they serve up a wide range of healthy and organic food. 

North America

While international destinations can make for an exotic babymoon, sometimes, you'd prefer to stick close to home. Fortunately, the United States and the Caribbean islands have great babymoon ideas to choose from.

For starters, the luxury desert oasis of Amangiri is a sleek hideaway in Canyon Point, Utah. Its spa is a destination all its own with walnut-lined candlelit treatment rooms. The signature Water Pavilion is a stunning swimming pool built around a massive boulder. Surrounding it cushioned loungers provide the coziest place to take in the serene desert landscape. 

For some of the most beautiful beaches in the United States, Hawaii is the obvious choice. You’ll likely spend most of your time outdoors exploring the island beaches and landscapes. In the evening, Four Seasons Hualalai on Hawaii’s Big Island is the perfect beachfront respite.

Finally, consider escaping to the Caribbean in Turks & Caicos. Both COMO Parrot Cay and the luxurious Amanyara offer both privacy and comfort, as well as plenty of leisure facilities. These include saunas, steam rooms, Jacuzzis, infinity pools, yoga and Pilates classes, fitness centers, and spas offering various body and beauty treatments.
