How to book the best deals

Use a specialist agent. Kuoni, Trailfinders, and Hayes & Jarvis specialise in honeymoon packages and have relationships with resorts that get you upgrades, extras, and rates you can’t find online.

Tell them it’s your honeymoon. Agents flag honeymoon bookings to hotels, who often upgrade the room, leave champagne, or add spa credits — all for free.

Book in January-February. This is when travel agents launch their deals for the year. “Wave season” offers discounts of 10-30% on summer and autumn holidays.

Travel in shoulder season. May, late September, and October for the Mediterranean. November and late April for the Caribbean. Prices drop 20-40% either side of peak.

Compare direct vs package. Sometimes booking flights and hotel separately is cheaper. Sometimes a package deal is better. Compare both before committing. Use Skyscanner for flights and Booking.com for hotels to check the separate price.

Ask about free room upgrades. Many resorts upgrade honeymooners if availability allows. Ask when booking and again at check-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is an all-inclusive honeymoon from the UK?

An all-inclusive honeymoon costs £1,200-5,000 per person for 7 nights including flights and transfers. Budget all-inclusive (Turkey, Egypt): £600-1,000 per person. Mid-range (Greece, Spain): £1,000-1,800. Premium (Maldives, Caribbean): £2,000-5,000. Prices vary hugely by season, destination, and hotel quality.

Where is the best all-inclusive honeymoon destination?

For luxury: the Maldives (overwater villas, private beaches). For value: Turkey (excellent resorts at low prices). For Caribbean vibes: Mexico or Dominican Republic (white sand, warm sea). For short-haul luxury: Greece or Spain (premium adults-only resorts). Sandals resorts in the Caribbean are purpose-built for couples.

Is all-inclusive worth it for a honeymoon?

Yes, for beach holidays where you plan to spend most of your time at the resort. All-inclusive removes the stress of budgeting during the trip — you pay once and everything is covered. It's less worthwhile if you want to explore, eat at local restaurants, and be active outside the resort. For a relaxation honeymoon, it's ideal.

What does all-inclusive actually include?

Standard all-inclusive includes: room, all meals (buffet and usually 1-2 a la carte restaurants), drinks (house wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks), snacks, swimming pools, beach access, and basic entertainment. Premium all-inclusive adds: premium alcohol brands, more restaurant choices, room service, spa credits, water sports, and excursions.
