If your wedding budget doesn’t allow you to splurge on a honeymoon and be careless about this decision, you don’t have to lose your excitement and hopes to experience a splendid honeymoon with your husband or wife.

You just have to do your research and find your perfect place to spend a honeymoon with your second half without going broke. And, I’m going to help you with that.
Cheap honeymoon destination ideas
1. Honeymoon Caribbean or Mexico cruise
A cruise is probably the most attractive honeymoon option for those who’re on a budget but still want to experience an amazing adventurous holiday.
Of course, the prices differ depending on the destinations and duration of the cruise, the type of room and services you’ll get.
But you’ll be able to find an amazing suit for a 5-day cruise around the Caribbean even with the $1500 budget per couple.
Don’t forget about those cheeky bonuses of a cruise ship like romantic atmosphere, unbelievable views, fresh marine air, new friendships, entertaining evenings and nights, excursion discounts, bar and dining packages, etc.
All inclusive cruises will certainly cost you a lot more. But if to think about it, the price will cover all the expenses you’d have to deal with anyway.
Take into the consideration, that inside cabins aren’t the best when it comes to the view, but they’re a lot cheaper than the suits.
2. Honeymoon in the Paradise on the Earth
Hawaii is a popular getaway for a lot of American newlyweds. Especially if we take into consideration the fact that the islands have picturesque views, unbelievable sunsets, amazing beaches and a lot of romantic activities.
Besides, it’s located quite far away from the continent. But, you don’t actually have to fly ‘abroad’. Unfortunately, Hawaii can be quite expensive.
However, if you don’t go too far away from the state’s capital Honolulu, you’ll be able to find quite affordable resorts that still include all the benefits of unbelievable Hawaiian beach holiday.
For instance, Polynesian Plaza provides rooms for 2 adults in under $180 per night. And that’s with comfortable beds, free WiFi, cooking setups and excellent location. Not the most affordable place in the world, but it’s in Hawaii, remember?
Another great option is Aston at Papakea Resort, which is located really close to the beach, has a pool and provides free parking. Prepare yourself to beach days and gorgeous sunsets! And, rooms are equipped with pretty much anything you’ll need.
3. Beach resorts with rooms not more than $200 per night
Laid-back newlyweds who prefer traditional honeymoon scenarios, will certainly look for more affordable beach honeymoon destinations.
