The Best Honeymoon Destinations in February

As much as February is designated for love birds, the frigid temperatures don’t always lend themselves to warm thoughts and vibes. Regardless if you get hitched in February or another month, having your honeymoon during one of the coldest times of year and in one of the best honeymoon destinations in February might make it that much more memorable. Because you’ll be fleeing the ice, sleet, snow and clouds together, you’ll have even more gratitude for your romance - and the heat both inside and outside of your suite.

Here are the best honeymoon destinations in February you'll want to consider for your trip of a lifetime. 

St. Lucia

Not too far away from North America, this eastern Caribbean island is about as tropical as you can find—and one of the best honeymoon destinations in February. For couples who appreciate a generous balance between cocktail sipping and mountain climbing, a St. Lucia honeymoon presents the opportunity to hike the Pitons, explore volcanic beaches, surf reefs and dine on locally-caught and prepared fish. With the right guide, you can even scour through lush rainforests that lead to waterfalls that are up to 15 meters high.
Where to Stay: Rendezvous
This intimate, all-inclusive, couples-only resort is what your honeymoon dreams are made of. With only 100 rooms, the property cascade on two miles of private beach, surrounded by lush gardens and plenty of over-the-top romantic touches. After you enjoy a private dinner-for-two, the staff will also bring candles, flower petals, truffles or champagne to you room, making your tipsy arrival that much more special. Just don’t forget to put up the do-not-disturb sign.

Bintan Island, Indonesia

If part of what attracted you to your now-spouse (love saying that, eh?) was his or her quest and thirst for travel, then your honeymoon can’t be a simple beach getaway. Instead, you both seek the opportunity to digest a new culture, while also taking time to relax, unwind and connect together after all the wedding planning chaos. When you make the trek out to Asia, you can spend a few days in Singapore — wandering it’s one-of-a-kind streets and crazy foods — take a short ferry ride to Bintan, Indonesia. This small sliver of the world features breathtaking nautical views and the privacy a honeymoon requires. Especially since many urbanscapes in Asia can be busy, bustling and at times, overwhelming, retreating to this wonderland will be just what you both ordered.

Where to Stay: The Sanchaya
Your only trouble at this must-stay in one of the best honeymoon destinations in February will be figuring out how you’re going to move in permanently. In addition to wine and cheese pairing with the estate sommelier at a glass-walled wine cellar (and an ocean view), you can also savor a four-course menu at a candle-lit table on the beach. For an extra dose of romance (ahem, especially on Valentine’s Day!), consider expressing your feelings vai a love note on a sky lantern that you release for good luck. Want a bath for two drawn for ya? They’ll take care of that, too.

Rancho Palos Verdes, California

Hey, it’s alright if you can’t pinpoint this Cali territory on a map. Hint: it’s just outside of Los Angeles, but far enough away from the traffic, the commotion and the smog. If you’ve never made it to the West Coast, an ideal February honeymoon in California might be exploring the infamous LA before spending a long weekend by this beach area. With smaller crowds and lower prices before the height of busy season, you’ll have more leeway to saunter, hold hands and fully celebrate your newfound Mr-and-Mrs status.
Where to Stay: Terranea Resort, a Destination Hotel

Don’t be surprised if you spot a sea lion, a dolphin, a sea lion or even a while as you snap a #justhitched selfie while kayaking, paddleboarding or snorkeling.

Cartagena, Colombia

Since Colombia is quickly becoming a trending destinations for honeymooners, travelers and backpackers, it’s time to grab that passport and get out of town ASAP before crowds take over. For a destination that’ll feel more intimate and romantic than the capital city, head to Cartagena on the Caribbean coast. Here, the tropical climate guides you through sunny days exploring the Old Town with square, colorful, Instagrammable-cobblestone streets and colonial buildings. When you’ve had your fix of this port city, take a boat to Isla de Baru for white sandy beaches, palm trees and coral reefs.

Krabi, Thailand

...and all of its islands. Thanks to the climate during this time of year, humidity is on the downswing, giving you more time to soak up the sun without having to escape to the sea to cool off on your honeymoon in Thailand. After you fly into Bangkok to explore the city for a day, hop a small commuting plane to Krabi, where you’ll be in awe of the limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and countless tropics to explore, from Phi Phi to Railay Beach. It’s truly one of the best honeymoon destinations in February.
