Best Babymoon Destinations & Getaway Ideas for Expectant Couples

1309

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.

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center

At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.

What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.

Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?

Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.

More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
