Tying the knot is one of the most significant things that can happen to two individuals (or one couple, depending on how you look at it) in their lifetime. Finding the person you love, growing your relationship, and deciding that you want to be together forever are all incredible things that deserve to be celebrated properly – with a dream wedding. Weddings are exciting but full of loved ones who all want to celebrate with the couple… It’s on the honeymoon that you and your partner will really get to spend quality time together on your own. These destinations are each a short flight from Canada and the perfect choice for a romantic honeymoon getaway for two.
Your Quick Honeymoon Escape Awaits
Honeymoons are all about treating yourself and the one you love to the best that’s available. They’re about enjoying the company of your spouse in settings that offer comfort, luxury, and most importantly, the privacy that two newlyweds crave after days or even weeks of hustle and bustle and being surrounded by people. These destinations are all accessible by charter plane (which, incidentally, is the perfect way to start a honeymoon full of pampering and quality time) since they’re close to Canada’s borders and each has a unique character that will appeal to different sorts of couples.
New York
Romantic Destination: Mohonk Mountain House, Hudson Valley
Who Is It For? Couples who want to escape from the world, enjoy nature, and maybe even the odd adventure, all against a backdrop of exquisite scenery and first-class luxury.
Spend your honeymoon in the stunning Hudson Valley at a resort that’s also a historical landmark. Mohonk Mountain House is an all-inclusive stay that offers guests a plethora of ways to spend their time. Depending on the time of year, you may get to experience all sorts of stage productions from bands playing on the boat docks to live music and magic. The house itself is alive with things to hold your attention (art, tours, the show garden, the barn museum), and then there are all the activities: canoeing on the lake, hiking, archery, golf, ice skating, and more. Devour delicious meals (whether in your room or at the restaurant), sleep in late, and get in all the cuddles you can.
Maine
Romantic Destination: Cliff House, Cape Neddick.
Who Is It for? Couples who like the sea air, a lonely location, and rooms and suites that ooze beachy, sophisticated, “old money” luxury.
Cliff House really exemplifies the beauty of Maine’s coastline. The original building has stood on that exact spot since 1866 and first welcomed guests in 1872, which makes it an iconic landmark destination. Discerning guests choose Cliff House for its unbelievable views, incomparable service, 70 acres of space to roam, five-star amenities, and delicious cuisine. Whether you’re honeymooning in summer or winter, this location won’t disappoint. Each room and suite on the property is designed so well that you might never want to leave. The rooms reflect the palette of the stunning nature just a stone’s throw away. The handcrafted elements, contemporary yet soft design, and heavenly linens will have you lying in bed all day just watching the waves below.
Alaska
Romantic Destination: Sheldon Chalet, Denali National Park
Who Is It For? Active, adventurous couples who really, really want to get away from it all.
This ski chalet is arguably the most remote accommodation in all of Alaska. Perched amongst the mountains, this single luxury home gives couples the chance to leave the world behind and revel in the park and each other with no other accommodations around for miles. The views are breathtaking from each of the five bedrooms, but even more incredible is the list of activities available: snowshoeing, glacier spelunking, skiing, and more for either the casual or experienced adventurers. Have a private chef come by and treat you to sumptuous dinners or craft a picnic for you to enjoy while sitting up at the endless peaks and sky. When you’re done, plush bedding will be waiting to lull you to sleep in perfect, mountainside silence.
Washington
Romantic Destination: Lotte Hotel, Seattle
Who Is It For? The city couple who enjoy the luxurious five-star treatment and like to always have access to entertainment.
Seattle is a city overflowing with art and music, but still close enough to nature that visiting couples will have access to a whole range of experiences. Staying at the Hotel Lotte, an incredibly unique and special hotel, puts you in downtown Seattle, but you’d never know it, especially if you’re staying in a room high above the bustling streets. It’s the pinnacle of luxury and offers staggering views of the Emerald City around you. Enjoy gourmet dining at Charlotte Restaurant and Lounge or in the comfort of your own bed, all crafted from the PNW’s freshest seasonal ingredients. Enjoy pampering couples treatments at the stunningly designed Le SPA de l’hôtel LOTTE or, if you can bear to tear yourself away from the hotel, take a walk to the Space Needle or the Seattle Art Museum for a little couples’ excursion and cultural enrichment.
Honeymoon Happiness
Whatever your style and personality, these short flights from Canada will give you and your partner the chance to enjoy your status as newlyweds the way you want to. So congratulations, best wishes, and enjoy your picture-perfect honeymoon together.
