Planning your honeymoon for April 2026? April is a fantastic month for couples: many destinations are in shoulder season—after heavy rains or before peak summer crowds—making it ideal for romantic escapes. Below are 13 of the best Honeymoon Destinations in April for 2026, whether you’re chasing tropical dreams, cultural adventures, or peaceful landscapes.

1. Maldives

April sits near the end of the dry season, so the skies tend to be clear and the seas calm. Over-water villas, private beaches, and sublime diving make this one of the top honeymoon retreats.

2. Seychelles

A classic Indian Ocean gem — April lies between trade-wind seasons here, so occasional showers may occur but mostly it’s calm and lush. Snorkeling, nature walks, and secluded coastlines await.

3. Mauritius

Transitioning from rainy to drier months, Mauritius in April offers a mix of tropical warmth and fewer crowds. It’s a superb mix of beach, culture, and natural beauty.

4. Japan (Cherry Blossom Season)

April is prime time for sakura (cherry blossoms). Stroll Kyoto’s gardens, admire blossoms in Tokyo, and combine with countryside escapes for a dreamy, romantic setting.

5. South Africa

April marks the start of drier conditions. A honeymoon combining Cape Town’s wine country, the Garden Route, and a safari in Kruger or Eastern Cape can be ideal.

6. Greece & the Greek Islands

Spring is awakening: the weather is mild, the seas are warming, and fewer tourists are around. Explore Santorini’s sunsets, Crete’s landscapes or hidden isles.

7. Thailand

Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai) and the islands (e.g. Phuket, Koh Samui) tend to have favorable weather in April before the monsoon kicks in.

8. Bali, Indonesia

With lush rice terraces, beachside serenity, volcano backdrops, and warm seas, Bali remains a top pick—even in April, when the rains become less frequent.

9. Egypt & Jordan

April is a smart time to explore the Middle East — warm but not scorching. Visit the Pyramids, cruise the Nile, or combine with Jordan’s desert landscapes and Petra.

10. Mexico (Yucatán / Riviera Maya)

April is a reliable month for beach, culture, and ancient ruins. The Yucatán region (Cancún, Tulum, Chichén Itzá) offers history, jungle, and Caribbean beaches.

11. Caribbean Islands (St. Lucia, Antigua, Grenada)

The Caribbean’s dry season lingers into April, making it ideal for snorkeling, beach lounging, and romantic resorts.

12. Costa Rica

In April, Costa Rica is shifting into the dry season on the Pacific side. You’ll find lush jungle adventures, volcanoes, and peaceful beaches.

13. Cayman Islands

A lesser-talked about gem, the Cayman Islands enjoy warm, dry, and stable weather in April. Great for diving, boating, relaxation and understated luxury.

Tips for Choosing Your April Honeymoon

  • Book Early: April often overlaps with Easter, and that can drive up airfare or resort prices.

  • Pack Smart: Bring a lightweight rain jacket just in case and layers, especially for regions where evenings cool off.

  • Mix Destinations: Consider combining a cultural city + beach stay (for instance, Japan + a tropical isle; South Africa + Mauritius).

  • Check Local Seasons: Make sure your region isn’t entering its monsoon or rainy season.

  • Look for Shoulder-Season Advantages: Fewer crowds, better rates, and more room to breathe.
