Babymoons are booming: According to Dataintelo, the global babymoon travel market reached an estimated $1.45 billion in 2024 with projections to nearly double to $2.88 billion by 2033. A Babylist poll of more than 200 expecting parents found beach destinations and luxury resorts leading the way for babymoons, with the priorities being rest, recharging and intentional time together.
These six destinations make it easier to plan a slower-paced escape before baby arrives:
Greater Miami, Florida
Greater Miami makes an ideal setting for babymoons, from lush, bayside Coconut Grove to Coral Gables. In the heart of Brickell, Novotel Miami Brickell offers Skyline Penthouse, a rooftop pool and views at Vista Rooftop Bar & Lounge.
Miami Beach, Florida
With 7 miles of Atlantic coastline and a laid-back energy, Miami Beach is a perfect fit for a babymoon. Stroll oceanfront Beachwalk, admire Art Deco buildings, and peruse shops and cafés along Lincoln Road. Accommodation options include The Betsy, home to Miami Beach’s longest-running live music series; Hotel Continental, a relaxed Mid-Beach retreat; Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club, with in-room massages and beachfront yoga classes; and dedicated pre-baby pampering with 1 Hotel South Beach’s Babymoon at 1 package. There’s also Carillon Miami Wellness Resort farther north and 72 Park with one-, two- and three-bedroom residences available for short-term stays.
Chicago, Illinois
Chicago’s lakefront, eye-catching architecture and walkable downtown ensure a babymoon built around taking it slow. For a luxe “last trip as two,” The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago, on the Gold Coast, offers newly renovated Lakeside Suites and The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Chicago. Torali Italian-Steak serves handmade pastas and mom-friendly mocktails at Torali Bar. For a more independent stay, Arlo Chicago sits within an easy stroll of the Riverwalk and Monroe Harbor.

Naples, Florida
Naples is the backdrop for a great babymoon, from beach walks at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park or Barefoot Beach to shopping and dining at Mercato. The Perry Hotel Naples offers a stylish retreat with panoramic water views, a riverwalk winding through a mangrove conservation area, and a waterfront pier and marina.
Sandestin, Florida
A Florida Panhandle babymoon can include the white quartz dunes and rare coastal dune lakes of Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, the shops and restaurants at The Village of Baytowne Wharf, and time by the water. Spacious accommodations await at Hotel Effie Sandestin, Autograph Collection, part of 2,400-acre Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

St. Petersburg, Florida
Fill a babymoon without overpacking the itinerary in St. Pete. SkyBeach Resort’s Before the Little Waves package includes overnight accommodations, a mezze picnic basket upon arrival, a $50 dining credit at LUMA or SkyBar + Grille, and complimentary late checkout based on availability.

Sep 23, 2026Move to the Music and Rhythm of Destinations Around the World
The true rhythm of a country is felt away from the main tourist traps. Galleries, museums and historic sites provide an overview, but you need to go elsewhere to experience the living, beating heart of a place. For instance, immerse yourself in the humid turmoil of a Durban underground club, or get to grips with the formal group dances of the Scottish Highlands, or become part of the foot-stomping camaraderie of a Galway pub, or ride the waves of neon-lit energy in a Seoul basement nightclub.
