What Is a Babymoon (and When & Where Should You Take One)?

By Beth Coe, Travel Agent | MyTravelsByBeth.com

A babymoon is one of the sweetest trends in travel right now — and for good reason! If you’re expecting a little one soon, you deserve a chance to relax, reconnect, and recharge before your world changes in the best way possible. As a travel agent who specializes in stress-free getaways, I’m here to break down everything you need to know about babymoons, from timing to top destinations.

What Is a Babymoon?

A babymoon is a relaxing getaway taken by expecting parents before their baby arrives. It’s all about enjoying one last trip as a couple (or even solo!) before entering a new chapter of life. Think of it as a honeymoon — but with comfy clothes, mocktails, and lots of naps.

Babymoons are the perfect opportunity to:

1. Enjoy quality time as a couple
2. Relax before the baby comes
3. Indulge in uninterrupted sleep and spa days
4. Create beautiful memories during pregnancy

When Should You Take a Babymoon?

The second trimester (weeks 14–28) is generally the best time to travel during pregnancy. Here’s why:

1. Morning sickness has usually subsided
2. You’ll likely still feel comfortable moving around
3. Most airlines allow flying up to 36 weeks, but always check with your doctor

Tip: Make sure to talk to your OB/GYN before booking your trip, especially if it involves flying or traveling internationally.

Where Should You Go for Your Babymoon?

Choosing the perfect destination depends on your comfort level, energy, and dream vacation style. Here are my top picks for every kind of parent-to-be:

1. Maui, Hawaii

1. Why go: Scenic beaches, gentle hiking trails, and luxury resorts with world-class spa services.
2. Perfect for: Couples who want tropical vibes without leaving the U.S.
3. Bonus: No passport required!

2. Charleston, South Carolina

1. Why go: Quaint charm, boutique hotels, and tons of history to explore at your own pace.
2. Perfect for: A romantic, low-key escape with great food.

3. Sedona, Arizona

1. Why go: Peaceful desert landscapes, spa resorts, and wellness experiences like prenatal yoga and massage.
2. Perfect for: Rest and rejuvenation in a naturally calming environment.

4. Amalfi Coast, Italy

1. Why go: Breathtaking coastal towns, relaxing beach days, and incredible food.
2. Perfect for: Couples craving an unforgettable European getaway (ideal in early pregnancy).

5. All-Inclusive Resorts (Mexico or the Caribbean)

1. Why go: Stress-free travel, pampering, and everything you need in one place.
2. Perfect for: Expecting parents who want luxury without planning every detail.
