Top Eleven Jet-Set Honeymoons That Won’t Break The Bank!

I’m convinced that most honeymooners choose an all-inclusive getaway to celebrate their marital bliss because they just don’t know what else is out there or they think a non-all-inclusive will be super-expensive. All-inclusive getaways like Sandals and Club Med are nice, but let’s be honest, they’re very cheesy, often boring after a day or two and also can be very expensive.

Just for a comparison I searched multiple all-inclusive packages with airfare and found that the total vacation package for two people in a basic room was between $4,500 – $7,850! I couldn’t believe it! Instead of blowing your cash on mediocre all-you-can-eat buffets or watered down cocktails, check out my picks and my tips for planning a fabulous international honeymoon, one you will truly enjoy and for the same price!
