Babymoon Travel Ideas for 2021

Babymoons are a new holiday for expecting parents. Usually the couple travels somewhere relaxing where they can reconnect before their child's arrival, whether that be naturally, by surrogacy or by adoption. Babymoons have been put on hold this past year, but more people are itching to travel than ever, which makes the idea of a babymoon that much more important. Taking the time to relax, reset and reconnect together before you step into a new phase of life is incredibly important.

The Riviera Maya is home to stunning tropical beaches, warm Caribbean waters and verdant rainforests. A babymoon here gives couples the opportunity to wind down and reconnect with nature, whether that be by exploring the local natural habitat or just lounging in the sand. For a relaxing eco-resort option, try the beautiful Banyan Tree Mayakoba Resort, which treats guests with luxury and cultural experiences.

If you and your significant other would rather explore the city streets instead of a rainforest, try Beverly Hills, where there's no shortage of shopping, dining and entertainment experiences. The Peninsula Beverly Hills is a great option to stay. It's located only a short walk to all of the nearby attractions and features a spa, afternoon tea and other luxurious amenities.

Anguilla is one of the most beautiful, laid-back islands in the Caribbean. Featuring beautiful beaches and fewer crowds, this island is pure beach vibes, without all the tourists so common on other islands. It's a great option for those who want the authentic Caribbean experience, with plenty of outdoor activities. For a hotel, try the Zemi Beach House, which offers a babymoon package called Blissful Mooning, giving couples 25 percent off if they stay twelve nights or more, a beachfront couple's massage and much more.

For couples looking to stay closer to home this year, Asheville, North Carolina is one of the best options. Tucked near the Blue Ridge Mountains, this Appalachian town features plenty of outdoor activity for active couples, as well as less strenuous activities. Stay at The Foundry Hotel, a hotel that had been a historic steel foundry. The Relax and Unwind package includes a private massage and a day at the city's new Nordic-style bathhouse, the Sauna House.

St. Petersburg, Florida is the perfect place for couples who love to bask in incredible art.
