Where the money goes
- Stay8 days × $500 for two$4,000
- Flights for tworound trip$900
- Travel insurance8 days × $20 for two$160
- Transfersairport - hotel - airport$120
- The same trip off-season would cost about $4,050, or $1,140 less. Many couples take a short mini-moon right after the wedding and the big trip a few months later.
- Book flights 3-6 months ahead, in the names on your current passports - not a new married name. Mention your honeymoon when booking the hotel: you’ll often get a room upgrade or a welcome bottle.
How we calculate
- Each destination has its own daily rate for two (hotel, food, getting around) and the cost of round-trip flights for two from the US. The Maldives or Bora Bora run about $1,300 a day in standard - several times more than Southeast Asia.
- Your budget level changes the stay a lot (budget about -35%, premium about +80%) and flights less (-15% / +30%) - a plane ticket doesn’t get as much cheaper as a hotel.
- Peak season adds about 15% to hotels and flights; off-season takes about 25% off the stay and 15% off flights. We add transfers and travel insurance for every day.
