I need to start saving but don't know how much would be a reasonable price. I want to go somewhere that I will probably never go again for about 2 weeks. I have been abroad to spain, canary islands etc but never somewhere that has amazed me!
This could be my one and only chance as I am sure we will have children soon after so....
How much did your honeymoon cost?

Haven't booked ours yet but looking at Cyprus which is around £1000 each. We would have loved to go to somewhere like Caribbean but didn't find anything but rediculous prices. Where would you ideally want to go? xxx

More than i would like to admit - we are going on safari in kenya for a week then 10 days in zanzibar I have been before and it was brilliant
There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

we're going to fiji, and thats costing 4 grand, but its the only time we're gna get there!!! my sis and husband went to Mauritus for 3 grand. :) xxx
CommentAuthorkimmy
We are paying just under 4k for Cuba 5* accommodation.x
3990 for 9 nights luxury all inclusive in the Maldives in a deluxe beach villa with Kuoni - that's the price for both of us but includes food and drink at 6 exclusive restaurants, water sports, spa, snorkelling and they have a PADI dive centre with their own house reef to try out - as well as daily local manta ray and hammerhead shark feeding!! That's the price for the two of us...

We'll probably spend up to £6k; we pay around £3800-4600 already between us for our 2 week summer holiday and want our honeymoon to be extra special :-) We'll prob go to Mexico all inc as we love it there and the resorts are great.
You can get a fab honeymoon for much less; best bet is to narrow down what type of holiday you want, consider the weather at the time of year you're going, and go from there. As a guide, you can get 2 weeks all inc at a high-end resort in Mexico, the DR or Cuba for around £1300-1700 pp in the summer (outside the holidays); you can also get great deals to places like Thailand, and the Travel Collection do multi-centre trips in places like China, Malaysia, India etc for up to £2k pp peak season. Maldives is also popular; a high-end resort will usually cost over £2k pp if you want food and drink included

We are going to Spain for two weeks in a penthouse apartment. With spending money and flights it's costing about £2400
We went last August. It was h2b's first time abroad and we liked it so much we are going back to the same place :)
£1200 of that money is spending money, we like to take a lot so have no worries. People have said why didn't we go all inclusive, well we don't want to or we would wouldn't we lol!! ;0)

we are going to Halkidiki in Greece for 7 nights and it has cost us £996 for self catering but thats what we wanted as we didnt want to be tied down to the hotel all the time for food and wante to try the area out x
CommentAuthormym72
We went to Malta for our honeymoon. Because I work in a school we could only go in the holidays which made it more expensive - but we got a week all inclusive in a fantastic hotel (see view balcony, rooftop bar, own nightclub etc) for £1600 for the two of us, which wasn't too bad for August. The weather was perfect (early 30's every day, plenty of time for sunbathing as well as loads of sightseeing as well).
CommentAuthorcornishpixie
We're going to Secrets Wild Orchid hotel in Jamaica - adults only luxury all inclusive. We paid £4,600 for both of us. Sooooo can't wait - haven't been on holiday since 2009! We decided to add on their preferred club package for an extra £600 - not sure if it's going to be worth it but what the hell! It is our honeymoon after all :o) xx

We had 5 nights in Hong Kong and 5 nights in Beijing - B&B 4* (general standards are better over there so didn't see the need to pay for 5*) was £3000 not including spending money. When we were in Beijing we went to see The Terracotta Army which cost another £600, but we decided that we might not go back to China so we should do it. We budgeted £150 a day for spending money, so in total it cost us a little over £5000.

oh my goodnes!!!!! I have spent 1188 for an all inclusive week to sharm in egypt .. including in flight meals and honeymoon suit - the hotel we picked is 5* too so we're really happy .... I couldnt justify spending over 2 k on a holiday even if it is for 2 people ! eeeeek
CommentAuthorRagatopp
We're having a 7-night red sea cruise visiting Egypt and Jordan for £2329 which includes flights and an all-inclusive drinks package... normally I wouldn't be able to justify spending so much on a holiday (I'm more of a camping around the UK kinda person lol), but it's something I've wanted to do ever since I was a kid and it felt like too good an opportunity to turn down... it'll only be my third time abroad and first time out of Europe and for my partner the first time he has been abroad apart from going to Pakistan. So excited! :D
CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
Nothing cause were not having one lol
With 3 kids its very hard to go anywhere so we decided instead of a honeymoon we would have a family moon/holiday 2-5 years after the wedding and go to disney florida to renew our vows just the 5 of us...........no idea how much that will cost tho as i have 8-9 years to wait lmao
Matt said he might find a last min long weekend deal tho nearer to the wedding to new york or the lake district for the 2 of us, so who knows

we're going to San Francisco, LA and Las Vegas for 15 nights in total - costing us £2000 each before spends :o/ Should be amazing though hopefully!!
CommentAuthorDee37
We did a road trip round California as we're not beach holiday people, cost £1300 BA flights, 2 weeks car hire £400 for a jeep with satnav (petrol is v.cheap). Hotels were approx £70 per nite but can get less as we had a mix of motels and nice ones for treats, asked for dollars from guests as our wedding gift so we had some spending money and appreciated all donations which were put to good use.
I think you just go for the type of holiday you like and something suitable to your budget, some of us can spend more some less as everyone has different circumstances but whatever you do or wherever you go it will be really special.

We are going to Thailand, and possibly Japan as well. I want to go to the Tiger Temple in Thailand so that's my main thing for going there, also -the flights are expensive, but when you get there everything is dirt cheap. We're looking at about £3300 for 2 weeks, that's also covering lost wages as none of us have paid vacation time. xx

We're not really beach people, so we're backpacking Europe on a series of city stops, two flights plus 3 week train pass, then hotels/hostels/motels as we go along. Not very conventional I know. We're hoping to do it for around £1800- less if we can.

Ideally, we want to spend 2 weeks in New Zealand, a week in a nice hotel, and a week driving from North to South in a campervan! Priced it roughly up and it's probably gonna come to about 5k, obviously a very long time in the future for us though, so may have decided that's too much money by then (it certainly feels it right now!)
