How do you plan a honeymoon?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Plan a honeymoon by agreeing on a budget, a rough time of year, and what you both enjoy. Then choose a destination, book transport and accommodation, and sort out insurance, passports, and visas. Leave some free time in your itinerary for relaxing.

Start by sitting down together and talking about what you want from the trip. Do you want to lie on a beach, explore a city, hike in the mountains, or do a mix? How long can you be away from work? What is your budget? Answering these questions first makes everything easier. Once you have a rough idea, decide on a destination. Think about the weather, travel time, and whether you need vaccinations or visas. Check your passports are valid and have enough blank pages. Then book flights and accommodation. It is often cheaper to book early, but last-minute deals can also appear. Consider travel insurance as soon as you book, so you are covered if plans change. Plan a loose itinerary with a few must-see things, but leave plenty of free time. Honeymoons are about being together, not rushing from sight to sight. Book any special experiences, like a spa day or a boat trip, in advance if they are popular. Also think about practical details like currency, adaptors, and whether your phone will work. Tell your bank you are travelling so your cards are not blocked. Finally, share your plans with a family member or friend, and keep copies of important documents in a safe place. With a little organisation, you can relax and enjoy the trip.
