A babymoon is a relaxing getaway before the baby arrives, a chance for expectant parents to unwind – a time to relax, rejuvenate and spend quality time with their partner in a blissful space.
The ideal time to go on a babymoon is during the third trimester, when your pregnancy is more comfortable and the common discomforts of early pregnancy have subsided. Whether you’re drawn to secluded beaches, laid-back cities, or top-notch spa treatments, a luxurious babymoon is the perfect way to pamper yourself before the baby arrives.
