Honeymoon in Jan/Feb

[itsbetterthanabox]

Looking to book somewhere warm in Jan/Feb. Got married earlier in the year but going later.

Where would anyone recommend?

We like the idea of a few days in a city/town first then going on to a beach/countryside but are open to any ideas. Just beach instead could be relaxing to!
Don't want to do endless internal flights though which I know is a sticking point but we just want to directly get to the country and not have to fly about getting anywhere.
We want luxury if at the beach! But don't have a huge budget.. About 3000 absolute max. Is that unrealistic?
Thank you

How about Oman? Beautiful and interesting. Lovely weather in Jan/Feb.
BA and Oman Air fly direct.

Oman interesting. Never thought of there. Looking now thank you

Belize - beautiful with the islands and then the mainland with rainforest and all the mayan history. weather will be perfect.

Mexico

Japan?

Dubai

South Africa! We did safari, Cape Town then wine region-was amazing! Just under 3 weeks in total.

Oo yes but would south africa be doable on the op budget? Flights are expensive

I just got return flights from Dublin with Turkish airlines for £470 each for start of Feb. This march we flew with BA and flights were £550 each. You can get a bargain!

Belize, seconded!

Sri Lanka! Flights expensive but v cheap once you are there

We went to Cuba in January. A few nights in Havana then a week at a beach resort in Varadero. We got upgraded to the 5* part of the resort because it was our honeymoon. It cost £3500, all inclusive. Booked through Kuoni (worth it for the upgrade!)

Second South Africa, The best time to go IMO. Flights shouldn't be that bad at that time of year and cheap when you get there.

Sri Lanka - tour a bit then Maldives. Or combine Bali with a stop over in Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok or Singapore or Hong Kong! Enjoy choosing

We got married at the beginning of February and went to Dubai and the Maldives on honeymoon, both warm and the Maldives was amazing.

I mentioned Oman (use to live there) but definitely consider Cape Town and South Africa as pps mention. Been there a few times and again this summer. You can fly Emirates and go via Dubai and have a couple days there but wouldn't bother with more than that ( I use to live there too...not as interesting as some people think). Cape Town and SA excellent value for money once you get there. Amazing food and wine for fraction of the price here. Costa Rica and Belize on my list to travel to next...but do not have the honeymoon excuse to lure my DH in the near future I'm working on it

Sri Lanka for sure.

Sorry to hijack. People keep mentioning Belize, is there a specific area/itinerary? Also I didn't think there were direct flights?

So many choices!
Hadn't thought of Belize or South Africa. Sounds lovely.
We've looked at Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Japan and Mexico.
I can't decide!
Japan would be amazing but it was working out so expensive

When we went to Hakone (from Tokyo) we met some Brits that were staying in a very nice Air BnB on the bay. We found it relatively cheap once there (if careful). If you're looking at a Travel company, you could save loads doing it yourself

Thailand! We honeymooned there and it was wonderful! Bangkok 3 nights, Koh Samui 7 nights.

We went to a January wedding/honeymoon in Mexico a few years ago.
It was fab and warm and all inclusive in a resort on the beach.

oliviaBenson I had a 2/3 week holiday in Belize and have a long travel report which I am happy to send to anyone who is interested if you private message me. it is too long to post on here but happy to share all of my experiences there. real holiday of a lifetime destination and it is malaria free and an ex british colony so most people speak English and are very welcoming to the Brits that visit.

mummy would you PM it to me please! I'm always on the hunt for a good trip. Thanks

Is belize safe? Keep hearing things about Central America. I am a worrier though!
