Wedding ceremonies and receptions can easily eat up your budget, but Town & Country Travel understands that your honeymoon is just as important to squeeze into that budget. When it comes to planning it, you have a huge selection of domestic locations to serve as your romantic backdrop, but what about international destinations? If you think international travel might be too expensive for a honeymoon, think again. Here are some of our favorite destinations that don’t drain your wallet.

Where Should I Go for My Honeymoon?

1. Mexico

As the largest country on this list, Mexico offers sights and attractions for every type of couple. History lovers can explore the remains of the Mayan civilization in Cancun, while those looking for something a little more cosmopolitan can visit Puerto Vallarta and stop by cafes and restaurants that line the boardwalk. And there are few places better suited to beach-lovers: Mexico’s Caribbean beaches host golden sand and crystal-clear waters.

2. Croatia

Croatia is home to beautifully preserved architecture. The Pula Arena, for example, is one of the last remaining Roman amphitheaters. Once a place to watch gladiators fight, today it’s a popular venue for live shows. And if you and your loved one watched Game of Thrones together, stop by Dubrovnik. This picturesque city was used to film parts of King’s Landing. While there, take a tour through the ancient city or go on a sunset dinner cruise off the coast.

3. Thailand

Gorgeous resorts, vibrant nightlife, and delicious food — it’s all yours with a honeymoon in Thailand. Koh Samui, for example, is a thrilling party destination that regularly holds huge, festive gatherings on its beautiful crystal-clear beaches. But you can’t leave before visiting Bangkok, which is the top international travel destination in the world. Honeymooners can spoil themselves with luxurious, affordable shopping and check out the wonderful tourist attractions, including the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, the national museum, and Damnoen Saduak floating market.

4. Jamaica

When you think of classic honeymoon imagery — beaches full of white sand and clear water, palm trees, and seaside resorts — you’re likely picturing something straight out of Jamaica. But there’s more to the island than just gorgeous weather and tropical vistas. Montego Bay, for example, is known for exciting nightlife and world-class restaurants, perfect for honeymooners looking for a lively stay. And if you’re not content with just eating, many resorts offer cooking classes for couples looking to pick up some new skills.

5. Turkey

Turkey’s grand Ottoman architecture and bustling economy make it a charming mix of new and old. Couples looking to enjoy some Mediterranean cuisine and elegant vineyards can stop by the Island of Bozcaada. Take in the unspoiled canyon landscape of the Butterfly Valley, and before you head back home, grab your loved one and take a hot-air balloon ride. If you time it right, you’ll witness one of the most gorgeous sunrises on Earth.
