What is the cheapest place to go for a honeymoon?

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

Short answer

The cheapest place is often the UK itself, especially a staycation in a scenic area like Cornwall, the Lake District or the Scottish Highlands. You save on flights and currency exchange. Off-season breaks and self-catering cottages keep costs down while still feeling special.

For the lowest cost, stay in the UK. A week in a self-catering cottage in the Peak District, Wales or the Norfolk coast can be far cheaper than flying abroad. Travel by train or car, cook some meals, and spend on one nice dinner out. Look for midweek stays or shoulder seasons like late spring or early autumn, when prices drop and places are quieter.

If you want sun, consider destinations with a low cost of living and cheap direct flights, such as parts of Portugal, Turkey or the Greek islands outside peak season. All-inclusive packages can also simplify budgeting, but compare what you actually use. Remember, the cheapest honeymoon is one that fits your savings without debt. You can always plan a bigger trip for a later anniversary.

Check travel insurance and any entry requirements before booking. For passports or visa rules, check GOV.UK. A simple, relaxed break together often matters more than the price tag.
