After you’ve officially tied the knot and danced the Cupid Shuffle, you’re going to need to rejuvenate your after-wedding glow while basking in the delight of your new last name. Since you already have your hands full preparing to become Mr. and Mrs., we put together a honeymoon destination cheat sheet. That’s right, the wedding cake has been cut, the birds are chirping and now you’re off for a romantic retreat.
Here are four of the top spots for honeymoon destinations in the United States:
Big Sur, California
If you’re up for an adventure hiking through ancient redwood trees or snapping a pic on the famous Bixby Creek Bridge, Big Sur is the place to head. Nestled between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Big Sur sits along coastal California offering beautiful cliffside views.
Charleston, South Carolina
East coast charm and southern hospitality meet in the cobblestone streets of Charleston. Touring the city’s historic architecture and gardens in a horse-drawn carriage while stopping for a mint julep every now and then create a vintage romance unlike any other.
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Greetings from the sublime skies of Santa Fe! America’s oldest city offers ample activities for the skier or yoga enthusiast. Gliding on the slopes, getting your Zen or walking historic Canyon Road, Santa Fe is all about the laid-back vibe and downtime.
Oahu, Hawaii
Lazy beach days, pina coladas, white sand in between your toes, Hawaii is where affectionate honeymooners head for luxe resort living and tropical views. Grab your Tommy Bahama shirt and get ready to reset your mind for a relaxing long weekend by the shore.
