No arguments here, a honeymoon is a romantic trip you’ll always cherish, but if ever there was a more appropriate occasion for spending some quality time with your hubby, right before baby comes is it.
Cue the babymoon.
Never heard of this term? A babymoon is essentially just like a honeymoon, but instead of taking it after your wedding, you take it prior to the arrival of your little bundle of joy.
The only key concern to have is to ensure you take your babymoon before you hit your 35 week mark, but other than that, how you spend your babymoon is entirely up to you.
Longs walks on the beach?
Lounging by the pool with your virgin mojito?
Falling asleep to the sounds of crashing waves?
Indulgent couples massages?
Truly, there is no wrong way to spend your babymoon, but if you’re looking for some nearby destinations within Australia for where you can head on your babymoon, we’ve got you covered.
Here are our picks for top Australian destinations for a babymoon:
For a swoon worthy boutique hotel that’s guaranteed to please, we always recommend starting your babymoon search by checking out Halcyon House.
