The “babymoon” – the one last trip before the baby arrives – is being enjoyed by more and more expectant couples. Such a getaway allows for pampering, relaxation and enjoyment of the brief quiet before the storm that changes a couples life forever. Couples become quite accustomed to packing up and taking off whenever the mood strikes. However, with the impending parenthood, that spontaneity is halted temporarily. Many resorts are catering to this travel trend and offer packages especially designed to pamper the parents-to-be before they begin spoiling their little bundle of joy. Although, these packages do not exist at every resort, a couple can simply plan their own “babymoon” by mutually choosing a destination that will provide a romantic setting to cherish the time spent as two before they become three.
You can find resorts all over the U.S. In New York, the 70 Park Avenue Hotel & Mandarin Oriental hotels have nice packages. In Florida, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in Key West, Island Cottage Village Inn on Flagler Beach and the Palms Hotel in Miami Beach are just a few of the places you can choose from.
Some of the resorts with Baby Moon packages in the Caribbean include the Ritz Carlton in Grand Cayman, Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica and the Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas.
Cruises are also great getaways. However, check with your agent what policy the cruise line has, as many will not allow you to sail once you have entered your 24th week.
