Being pregnant is a wonderful experience in your life, you and your partner are bringing life into the world so why not celebrate that? As baby-moons become increasingly popular, the perfect destination becomes seemingly harder to discover. The perfect destination has to be relaxing, romantic, secluded, and easy to get to, because traveling pregnant is always a hassle (for what to pack when pregnant, check out our article!).
Here are our top picks for the best baby-moon destinations, all of which have direct flights to the nearest airport from many major cities across the country.
Located in the beautiful Riviera Maya, about an hour from the Cancun Airport, lies the Rosewood Mayakoba. This serene oasis is surrounded by lush jungle and miles of white sandy beaches. This resort knows how to protect a client’s privacy, the hotel is so large chances are you won’t see another guest unless you want to. Opt for the Deluxe Overwater Lagoon Suite or Oceanview Suite, both are extremely private and come with their own private plunge pool and lounging terrace. Sense, the Rosewood’s spa, also offers prenatal treatments upon request, and come directly to your suite to respect your privacy.
Located on the Caribbean side of Mexico, in the lesser-known but still magical city of Tulum, lies Coqui Coqui. This hotel is the most rustic of the options, but still gorgeous. Its also so exclusive, it doesn’t even have it’s own website and is one of the best-kept secrets in Mexico. The hotel boasts beachfront limestone structures with a stunning double exposed spa and breezy bedrooms. Located just outside of the nearby ruins of Tulum, Coqui Coqui offers an unforgettable Caribbean experience. Opt for the Jungle or Beach Rooms.
If you are craving the utmost is privacy and seclusion, Necker Island is definitely the place for you? No budget, no problem! Located on it’s own private island, 30-minutes by boat from Beef Island Airport, this hotel is owned by the super-cool Virgin Limited Edition. You have the option of renting out the whole island or just a room, either way the hotel staff is dedicated solely to you. The restaurants are amazing, there is even a floating sushi bar, and you will never get bored on this small island. There is an abundance of wildlife, so if you’re an animal lover, you can go out and feed the lemurs and turtles. Stay in the Bali House, they have a required 7-night stay but you’ll be wanting to stay even longer by the end of it!
Usually, when I picture Nassau or the Bahamas, I think spring breakers and places I would definitely not consider staying. But the One&Only Ocean Club, located 30-minutes from Nassau Airport, is not that. Once the private estate of A&P heir, Huntington Hartford II, is now a colonial-style beachfront resort. The ambience and style is the glamour of the 1920’s era. One&Only Ocean Club is a playground of world-class golf, tennis, spa, and of course, water-sports. The best part about the hotel is that it is the easiest hotel to get to, with direct flights to Nassau from all over the country and yet you are still transported to a tropical place. The hotel is split into the Crescent Wing, Hartford Wing, and Cottages & Villas. My favorite room to stay in is at the Crescent Wing in one of their Luxury beachfront Suites.
Also one of the most easily accessible, Parrot Cay by COMO is a 30-minute boat ride from the Providenciales Docks in the Turks & Caicos. Located on it’s own island in the Caribbean, the white sandy beaches and clear blue waters are sure to blow you away. Your trip to Parrot Cay would be filled with amazing food, snorkeling, and daily yoga. Arrange trips to other islands such as Iguana Island or Big Cay to feed the stingrays. The body care treatments at COMO Shambhala Retreat at Parrot Cay are among the most indulgent in the Turks and Caicos. Designed to relax and renew, these treatments will leave you feeling refreshed from head to toe. Stay in the One-bedroom Beach Villa and you will not only have your own private pool to play in, you have private beach access and a personal butler!
