Where to honeymoon in November - The best romantic destinations

Planning a honeymoon in November? From tropical beaches to adventurous safaris and European escapes, this is one of the most exciting times of the year to travel. While the UK cools down and the days grow shorter, many destinations around the world are bathed in sunshine, full of colour and life, and ready to welcome you.

If you are newly married and dreaming about where to go, November offers so much choice. Whether you are drawn to barefoot luxury in the Indian Ocean, cultural adventures in Asia or a cosy winter escape, there is something for every kind of couple.

And when you book with me, everything becomes simple. I take the time to understand your style, your pace, and what makes a holiday feel special to you both. Whether that means finding hidden gems, building in authentic local experiences or making sure every connection runs smoothly, I am with you every step of the way.

The Indian Ocean dream

If your perfect honeymoon is all about peace, privacy and paradise, the Indian Ocean is one of the best regions to visit in November.

The Maldives

In the Maldives, the dry season begins, bringing calm seas, blue skies and daytime temperatures around 28°C. The water is clear and still, perfect for snorkelling, paddleboarding or simply drifting side by side. The pace of life here slows right down, giving you time to truly unwind. Many resorts include honeymoon extras like private dinners on the beach or couples’ spa treatments, and I always check which special touches can be arranged for you.

Mauritius

Mauritius shines in November with beautifully warm weather and a mix of beaches, nature and culture. You could spend one day hiking to a waterfall and the next tasting rum on a sugar estate or relaxing on a white sand beach. It is perfect for couples who want a balance between adventure and relaxation.

The Seychelles

For those who love seclusion and natural beauty, the Seychelles offers a luxurious castaway experience. Long sunny days and balmy evenings make this the ideal month for exploring small islands or discovering hidden coves. Everything feels effortless here, especially when I handle the flights, transfers and timings so you can simply arrive and exhale.

Adventures and culture in Asia

Asia in November is bursting with colour, flavour and sunshine. The rains have cleared, leaving behind lush landscapes and calm weather.

Thailand

Thailand is a classic honeymoon choice at this time of year. The beaches in the south are at their best, while the north offers fascinating temples, night markets and delicious street food. You can mix the buzz of Bangkok with time on the islands for the perfect blend of culture and calm. I often design multi-centre trips here, so you can enjoy both adventure and relaxation without worrying about the logistics.

Vietnam

In Vietnam, November brings dry, cooler weather that is perfect for exploring. A cruise through Halong Bay at sunset is pure magic, and lantern-lit Hoi An feels like a living postcard. The food is wonderful, and it is one of those destinations that keeps giving new experiences every day.

Cambodia & Sri Lanka

Cambodia and Sri Lanka are both fantastic choices for couples who want something a little different. Cambodia’s temples and history are mesmerising, while Sri Lanka combines wildlife safaris, tea plantations and idyllic beaches. Imagine watching elephants in the wild one day and enjoying a private dinner by the ocean the next.

Short-haul sunshine and winter warmth

If you prefer not to travel too far, November offers plenty of sunshine within a few hours of the UK.

Morocco

Morocco is just a three-hour flight away and brings together exotic charm, warm weather and adventure. Wander through Marrakech’s vibrant souks, sip mint tea on a rooftop terrace or escape into the Atlas Mountains for stunning views and fresh air.

Canary Islands & Cape Verde

The Canary Islands and Cape Verde are ideal for couples who simply want to relax. Temperatures sit comfortably in the mid-20s, with golden beaches, volcano views and an easy pace of life. It is warm enough to swim, explore and unwind.

Dubai

For a more cosmopolitan escape, Dubai sparkles in November. The intense summer heat has passed, leaving bright blue skies and comfortable warmth. You can spend your mornings on the beach, your afternoons exploring and your evenings dining with skyline views.

These destinations are perfect if you want quick sunshine and a smooth journey. With direct flights and shorter travel times, you can be sipping a cocktail by the pool the very same day.

The Caribbean comeback

By November, the Caribbean is lush, peaceful, and sun-soaked after the end of hurricane season. This is a beautiful time to visit, with fewer tourists and excellent value for money.

St Lucia

In St Lucia, you can hike through rainforests in the morning and relax on the beach by afternoon. The island’s iconic Piton mountains create a stunning backdrop for honeymoon photos, and the sunsets are breathtaking.

Jamaica and Turks & Caicos

Jamaica and Turks & Caicos both promise long sunny days, calm turquoise seas and that laid-back Caribbean rhythm that makes time stand still.

Puerto Rico

For something more cultural, Puerto Rico adds Spanish flair, lively music, and a mix of beaches and history.

Whether you want a lively atmosphere or a quiet retreat, I can help you choose the right island to match your personalities.

Wildlife, wine and wonder

For couples who love adventure and the great outdoors, November is a fantastic time to explore.

South Africa

In South Africa, summer is just beginning. The weather is warm and dry, making it perfect for combining safari, city life and wine country. You can watch elephants and lions in the Kruger National Park, then spend a few days sampling world-class wine in the Cape Winelands. For those with more time, I often recommend pairing South Africa with Mauritius or the Seychelles for a truly unforgettable two-part honeymoon.

New Zealand

New Zealand is bursting into spring with green landscapes, waterfalls and blooming flowers. It is ideal for couples who love to explore, with endless opportunities for hiking, kayaking and discovering hidden gems.

Iceland

If you fancy something cooler, Iceland offers a magical change of pace. November brings crisp air and the chance to see the Northern Lights. Imagine soaking in a geothermal pool as the sky glows above you.

Trips like these can seem complicated to plan, but that is exactly where my expertise comes in. I take care of every connection, route and detail so your honeymoon flows seamlessly from start to finish.

Why November is a hidden gem for UK honeymooners

If you are getting married in autumn or prefer to travel later in the year, November is a wonderful time to celebrate. You can escape the grey weather, enjoy quieter hotels and take advantage of excellent flight prices before the festive rush.

It is also one of the most peaceful months to travel. With fewer crowds, you get that extra layer of tranquillity and attention that makes a honeymoon so special. Whether you picture yourselves exploring temples, sipping cocktails on the beach or spotting wildlife on safari, November gives you endless options to choose from.

And unlike booking online, when you plan your honeymoon with me, you are choosing personal service, genuine expertise and peace of mind. Every element is arranged with care, from flights and transfers to little extras that make it feel truly yours.

When to book your November honeymoon

The ideal time to start planning your November honeymoon is around 11 months ahead. This gives you the widest choice of flights, the best availability on smaller boutique resorts, and often the most competitive prices. It is especially worthwhile for long-haul destinations like the Maldives, Mauritius or South Africa, where the most sought-after options can fill up quickly.

That said, November is also one of those brilliant months where last-minute bargains can appear. If you prefer to wait until you know what budget you have after the wedding, there are often some wonderful deals to be found.

Whether you like to plan ahead or make a spontaneous getaway, I can help you find the right deal at the right time. And because I work directly with trusted travel partners, I will always make sure you get the best value without any of the stress.
