The 10 Best Honeymoon Destinations in March
Local laws may restrict service availability to all. See the Equality Index for more information.
Couples have tons of fantastic options to choose from when it comes to the best honeymoon destinations in March: In the US, you can soak up the last bit of ski season, while Mexico and the Caribbean are sunny and practically cloud-free. Shoulder and low season in dreamy, far-flung locales like the Maldives or Bora Bora are more affordable this time of the year, making your honeymoon fantasies all the more realistic (and within budget).
In fact, shoulder season vacations are one of the top travel trends for 2025, since couples can take advantage of great weather for outdoor exploring and discover spectacular landscapes and wonders of the world in places like Egypt with far fewer crowds. Nature is another list-topper for honeymooners, and you can find plenty right in your own backyard road tripping in California or hitting the slopes in Park City, Utah.
Whether you're after island paradise on the other side of the world or prefer staying closer to home at a US honeymoon spot, The Knot has the perfect list of places, keeping everything from the weather to affordability in mind. We've polled the experts and pulled together some of the best honeymoon destinations by month, narrowing down 10 of the top honeymoon spots for March that'll instantly sweep you off your feet.
Maldives
Spring break takes on a whole new meaning as you're cruising via private boat or seaplane to one of the 1,100-plus islands in the Maldives. If you're looking for good honeymoon destinations in March, the Maldives always ranks top. The island nation in the Indian Ocean stretches across the equator and offers some of the most mesmerizing shades of water, powder-soft sand and colorful reefs shallow enough to spot vibrant marine life while snorkeling at the surface. This is the big-ticket honeymoon, but whether you splurge on a private island hotel or opt for a more budget-friendly resort, a Maldives honeymoon is sure to be every bit the dream you imagined.
Things to Do: The Maldives is dominated by all-inclusive resorts, meaning you won't have to worry about opening your wallet—or even leaving the comfort of your hotel—when it comes to dining and attractions, which center mostly around water activities. If you're spending time in the capital Malé, join a local guide on a walking tour of the history and highlights like the Muleeaage (the President's Palace), Sultan Park and fish market. One memorable souvenir from your honeymoon? An underwater photoshoot with a pro snapping pics you'll want to frame in your home.
Places to Stay: Cheval Blanc Randheli in the Noonu Atoll is a private island escape with villas perched over the water, the only Guerlain spa treatments in the Maldives, and romantic dining options like picnics on a private sandbank and starry-night barbecues. One of the newcomers in the Maldives, SO/Maldives is just a 15-minute speedboat ride away from Malé International Airport and features 80 beachfront and overwater villas with panoramic ocean views and private pool decks.
Park City, Utah
One of the top March honeymoon destinations for skiers, a Utah honeymoon is a romantic getaway where couples can cozy up by the fireplace and indulge in sumptuous spa days in-between moments on the slopes. The old silver mining town is full of mountain charm, from Historic Main Street and its fine-dining restaurants and art galleries (this is where the Sundance Film Festival takes place, after all) to its buzzy basement bars and lounges, where you'll catch fantastic live music acts.
Things to Do: The slopes were once home to the Olympics, and Park City Mountain is considered the country's largest ski resort. Hit the same slopes as the US Ski and Snowboard team (Park City is their headquarters) or admire the beauty of the snow-covered mountains and valleys a different way on a private snowshoe tour.
Places to Stay: For the ultimate ski-in/ski-out experience, Montage Deer Valley is a dream for honeymooners. Warm up by the firepit on your private terrace, stargazing in the evenings while soaking up panoramic mountain views. On-site outfitter Compass Sports can also get you geared up and ready for a day on the slopes with rentals and lift tickets. Contemporary chic Pendry Park City also sits slopeside in the heart of Canyons Village and features a spa with a rooftop pool and whirlpool overlooking the mountains.
Egypt
Last year, Egypt received more than 15 million visitors—a massive boom of travelers who are making the bucket list trip to ancient sites and the Red Sea coast. The best time to visit Egypt is from March to May when you'll skip both the heat and crowds. Part of what makes Egypt such a romantic getaway is its mix of rich history spanning more than 5,000 years and breathtaking sights—which couples can explore from the comfort of an all-inclusive river cruise on the Nile onboard Viking River Cruises or with luxury outfitter Abercrombie & Kent.
Things to Do: Luxor is considered the "world's greatest open-air museum" and you can soar over temples in a hot-air balloon or get a closer look on ground with a private tour led like an Egyptologist guide through the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and more. The Pyramids of Giza are one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a highlight of an Egypt honeymoon, so why not visit in one of the most scenic ways—via camel.
Places to Stay: Honeymooners have no shortage of luxury options when visiting Egypt, from The St. Regis Cairo, whose floor-to-ceiling windows show off panoramic Nile River views, to The Oberoi Beach Resort, Sahl Hasheesh near the shore of the Red Sea.
Anguilla
Home to more than 30 white-sand beaches with clear-as-glass water and colorful reefs, an Anguilla honeymoon is an ideal Caribbean island getaway that offers couples as much or as little as they'd like to do. If your dream honeymoon is a relaxing beachfront, Anguilla is paradise, especially if you're planning to indulge in the amenities at a high-end resort. But if you want to take things up a notch, the tiny island has plenty to keep you and your other half busy day and night, from horseback riding and cycling to live jazz and dancing in the sand at the many beach bars.
Things to Do: For calm water and fewer crowds, make your way to Maundays Bay, considered one of Anguilla's top beaches. Set out on a romantic sunset sail on a traditional wood boat, toasting to the start of your life together as a married couple, or go on a glowing night kayaking adventure eyeing turtles swimming below.
Places to Stay: One of the Caribbean's premier resorts, Cap Juluca, A Belmond Hotel has it all, from an outpost of Venice favorite Cip's by Cipriani to chic seaside shacks playing calypso and serving light bites and a gorgeous Guerlain spa. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla features modern, over-the-top ocean views and beachfront villas and offers amenities like beachfront cabanas and barefoot barbecue feasts.
Belize
Belize doesn't get the same attention as other romantic getaways in the Caribbean or Central America, but it boasts beaches as beautiful as the islands and adventure as riveting as anything you'll find in Costa Rica. A Belize honeymoon is great any time of the year, since temperatures remain in the 80s, but the dry season runs from December through May, so March is when you'll experience some of the best weather. Get ready for culture in the form of Mayan ruins and caves, some of the world's best diving along the Belize Barrier Reef, and waterfall hikes where you'll spot resident jaguars, ocelots and monkeys.
Things to Do: Get a taste of Belize's adventurous side cave tubing and ziplining, or learn more about the history of the Mayan people on a guided day trip from Belize City, climbing temples at the archeological site Altun Ha. Take a dip with sharks and stingrays on a snorkeling excursion along the UNESCO-listed Belize Barrier Reef.
Places to Stay: Beachfront Alaia Belize, Autograph Collection is located in historic San Pedro, with the Belize Barrier Reef sitting right off shore, and features a rooftop adults pool with 360-degree views. The 25-room Turtle Inn feels like a true escape thanks to individual thatched cottages and Balinese decor, all sitting just steps from the sea in Placencia.
Palm Springs, California
The midcentury-modern architectural paradise is like stepping back in time to 1950s America, with nostalgia found everywhere from the vintage shops to the desert resort city's retro-inspired boutique hotels. One of the top US honeymoon spots, Palm Springs is great if you want a scenic road trip, since it's about two hours from San Diego and Los Angeles. Plan a dreamy California honeymoon checking off a few spots like Joshua Tree en route to your final destination. Palm Springs is one of our top March honeymoon destinations in the US since the weather is sunny and warm—perfect for hiking and seeing the annual wildflower blooms or playing a round of golf.
Things to Do: Desert X, a favorite for its site-specific contemporary art exhibitions, kicks off in March, so grab a map and visit the larger-than-life pieces popping up around Coachella Valley. Soak in ancient hot mineral springs at one of the newest spots, Spa at Séc-he, in downtown Palm Springs (the largest in the area, this one spans 73,000 square feet, so plan to spend a full day), or hop on a rental bike and take a self-guided tour of Palm Springs' famous architecture.
Places to Stay: Parker Palm Springs is one of the most luxurious options in town with standalone villas with private patios and a spa with 15 treatment rooms dubbed the Palm Springs Yacht Club. Downtown, boutique Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs caters to the area's retro reputation with a restaurant resembling a refined roadside diner, community fire pits, and rooms lined with artwork by local artists that exude an Accidentally Wes Anderson vibe.
Bangkok, Thailand
As Central Thailand transitions to its hot season, the bustling capital Bangkok is an affordable honeymoon destination in March. Since Bangkok is the gateway to the country, most couples embarking on a Thailand honeymoon spend a few days soaking up the vibrant city's gilded landmarks like the reclining Buddha and fantastic street food, sampling specialties like grilled satay and, of course, pad Thai. The ever-growing fine-dining scene has also contributed to the city's reputation as a culinary capital, so indulge and celebrate your new nuptials at two Michelin-starred Restaurant Sühring or Gaggan, rated No. 1 in Asia's 50 Best restaurants, for an interactive experience you won't forget.
Things to Do: Whisk through the city by night via tuk-tuk touring temples, markets and street food stalls; spend a full day experiencing Bangkok's legendary landmarks like the Grand Palace and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) on a private tour; and visit two of Bangkok's must-see markets: Damnoen Saduak floating market and the Maeklong Railway Market.
Places to Stay: The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon is housed in the iconic, namesake tower in the middle of Bangkok's CBD, a short drive from some of the city's best restaurants. Here, you'll have everything you need to keep you busy for a few days, from the 78th-floor Mexican eatery Ojo, the highest rooftop restaurant in Bangkok, to the terrace pool. For an opulent stay, look no further than Capella Bangkok, which includes seven villas along the Chao Phraya River complete with balconies or verandahs with plunge pool jacuzzis.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
The South Pacific island has long been popular with honeymooners—it is the birthplace of the first overwater bungalow, after all, a romantic style other resorts on the lagoon have since adopted. The twin-peaked, dormant volcano Mt. Otemanu rises proudly from the island's center, surrounded by lush jungle and reef and barrier islands in the turquoise lagoon—landscape all so picturesque, it inspired Disney's Moana. High season is US summer, so you can snag more affordable deals on luxe lodgings here like bungalows suspended on stilts over the sea during the lower rainy season—but March falls at the tail-end, so while there may be some rain, you'll also be able to enjoy a Bora Bora honeymoon sans crowds.
Things to Do: Snorkeling and scuba diving are the star attractions in Bora Bora, so plan your days around being in the water. Grab a snorkel and set off on a lagoon cruise, visiting some of the most photogenic spots around the island, and taking a dip in the shallow waters snorkeling with stingrays and colorful tropical fish. Or, explore the island two ways—by ATV and jet ski—pausing on a motu, or islet, for an authentic Polynesian BBQ.
Places to Stay: For the full Bora Bora experience, book one of the overwater villas at The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort—the largest in French Polynesia and the South Pacific—where glass panel floors show off incredible views of the turquoise water below. From an overwater bungalow at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, toast to life as a married couple from the privacy of your plunge pool.
Isla Holbox, Mexico
The tiny, 26-mile-long car-free Isla Holbox, off the northern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, is what most travelers claim Tulum was like 20 years ago. Bikes and golf carts are the main modes of transport once you arrive via ferry from the port town of Chiquilá, which adds to the laid-back charm that makes this a fantastic spot for a Mexico honeymoon. Thatched-roof buildings line the sandy streets, but apart from a handful of restaurants and shops, the main attractions are the practically untouched beaches dotted with hammocks.
Things to Do: Sidle up to the bar at open-air Luuma for craft cocktails and fancy finger food like lamb tacos with homemade black bean tortillas, or try the island's local specialty, lobster pizza, at boho-chic Roots. The calm water makes the coastline great for kayaking or paddleboarding, and when the sun sets, you may even spot the glow of bioluminescent plankton in the water. Set out on a boat tour of the nearby Yalahau Cenote and practically untouched beaches on the tiny Isla Pasión and Isla Pajaros, a haven for a variety of bird species—including resident flamingos.
Places to Stay: The art-filled, barefoot luxury Ser Casasandra sits across from the beach and offers couples suites with balconies outfitted with handmade hammocks overlooking the water. At Nōmade Holbox, 30 rooms (including jungle and beachfront treehouses) are spread across three layers and crafted from sustainable local woods for a look that feels integrated with the natural environment. Since the philosophy is to inspire a transformative journey, honeymooners can start their marriage together with an energy-flowing cacao ceremony or crystal reiki healing treatment.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas is often thought of as a bachelor or bachelorette party destination, but Sin City is full of romance with plenty for couples to enjoy right on The Strip. March is one of the best months to plan a Las Vegas honeymoon since days are cooler, making sightseeing more pleasant. Plus, you'll skip the crowds coming for festivals like the Electric Daisy Carnival. This is the Entertainment Capital of the World, so expect endless attractions in every direction, from celebrity chef-helmed restaurants and elaborate dinner shows to concerts, pool parties and even ziplining.
Things to Do: Casinos are practically on every corner, and who knows—you might win big! But there's plenty more to do in Sin City than gamble, from world-class shows like Cirque du Soleil to Adele concerts at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace and The Mayfair Supper Club at Bellagio. Don't spend your entire honeymoon indoors—enjoy the breathtaking nature nearby hiking or biking in Red Rock Canyon.
Places to Stay: Fall asleep to views of Las Vegas' iconic fountain from a suite at the Bellagio, where you'll be in the heart of the action on The Strip and in one of the city's top casinos. NoMad Las Vegas exudes old-world European casino hotel vibes with its curated art collection, oak hardwood floor and sultry The NoMad Bar, ranked the best bar in North America.
