April Honeymoons
Honeymoon Destinations in April
April is a wonderful month for honeymooners seeking mild weather, fewer crowds, and a sense of calm discovery. Many destinations are moving into their shoulder season, which means more privacy and exclusive experiences. From sunlit beaches to safari adventures and cultural journeys, April offers couples the chance to blend romance with exploration, making every moment together feel special.
In Japan, cherry blossom season reaches its peak, and cities like Kyoto and Tokyo turn soft with pink petals, the perfect backdrop for a slow wander or a shared picnic beneath the trees. The Seychelles are calm and luminous, with still seas for snorkelling and sunset swims, while Costa Rica and Belize balance adventure and relaxation as their dry seasons draw to a close.
Closer to the equator, Vietnam and Guatemala invite quiet exploration, lantern-lit streets, misty mountains and rich local culture. For couples drawn to the wild, Namibia’s vast deserts glow gold in the evening light, and Borneo begins its dry season, alive with rainforest and wildlife.
Whether you’re sailing through island coves, tracing ancient temples or simply doing nothing at all, April offers that rare mix of good weather, space to breathe and the feeling that the world is opening up just for you.
