Best February Honeymoon Destinations
You’ve said your vows, popped champagne, and danced the night away—now it’s time to trade in your wedding shoes for flip-flops (or hiking boots… or a camel ride). February honeymoons are lowkey iconic: fewer crowds, dreamy weather, and the perfect excuse to escape the winter blues in favor of tropical breezes or exotic adventures.
Whether you’re craving beachside bliss or a dash of desert mystery, I’ve rounded up 10 swoon-worthy February honeymoon spots guaranteed to give your love story the dreamy beginning it deserves.
Let’s dive into the steamiest (and sunniest) spots to honeymoon this February:
Seychelles: Secluded Beaches & Swoon-Worthy Views
If your honeymoon vision includes white sand beaches, turquoise water, and absolutely zero interruptions—Seychelles is calling. Snorkel with vibrant marine life, island-hop by catamaran, or simply chill in your luxury villa like the royalty you are.
Perfect for: Beach lovers, privacy seekers.
Okinawa, Japan: Subtropical Zen
Think Japan is all cherry blossoms and sushi? Surprise! Okinawa gives you the best of both worlds: island vibes + Japanese culture. February here is blissfully mild, ideal for exploring historic castles, diving into local cuisine, and enjoying tranquil beaches without the crowds.

Maui, Hawaii: Whales, Waterfalls & Wows

Perfect for: Nature lovers, ocean enthusiasts.
Morocco: Camels, Kasbahs & Cool Breezes
This is not your average beach honeymoon—and that’s exactly why we love it. February brings cooler weather perfect for exploring Marrakech’s maze-like souks or glamping under the stars in the Sahara. Ride camels, sip mint tea, and feel like you’ve stepped into an epic romance novel.

Sacred Valley, Peru: Mountains, Magic & Machu Picchu
Get your steps in with your soulmate by hiking through the Andes, exploring Incan ruins, and marveling at the Sacred Valley’s beauty. February is your last chance before the rainy season kicks in, so if you’re eyeing Machu Picchu, now’s your moment!

Palawan, Philippines: Your Private Island Fantasy

Perfect for: Water sports enthusiasts, island explorers.
Zanzibar, Tanzania: Safari & Sand
Start your honeymoon with a wild safari, end it on the beach. February is a gorgeous time to unwind in Zanzibar after spotting lions in the Serengeti. Expect white sand, spice markets, and a strong chance of falling in love with Africa.
Perfect for: Safari lovers, beachgoers.
Dubai: Desert Glamour & Skyline Views
Why not honeymoon like Beyoncé? Dubai offers luxury everything: think rooftop pools, desert excursions, private beach clubs, and gold-dusted lattes (yes, really). February’s perfect weather means you can explore in style without melting.
Perfect for: Luxury seekers, urban explorers.
Lisbon, Portugal: Hills, Tiles & Coastal Feels
If you’re dreaming of a European honeymoon that’s equal parts city charm and seaside vibes, Lisbon delivers. February is off-season, which means fewer crowds, cozy cafés, and romantic strolls through Alfama’s cobbled streets. Ride the iconic yellow tram, enjoy sunset views from a miradouro, and savor all the pastéis de nata your heart desires. Bonus: you can pair it with a few days in nearby Sintra or the wine country of the Alentejo for a full-on romantic escape.
Perfect for: City lovers, foodies, culture buffs who want a little sunshine with their sangria.
St. Lucia: Romance with a Side of Rainforest
This island was basically engineered for honeymooners. With its lush green peaks, volcanic beaches, and luxury resorts tucked into the hillsides, St. Lucia brings the drama, in the best way. Think sunset sailing, mud baths in Sulphur Springs, and Piton views from your private plunge pool. February is dry season, so you’re in for perfect weather and next-level romance.
Perfect for: Luxury lovers, beach bums, and couples who want a tropical escape with a side of adventure.
At the end of the day, your honeymoon doesn’t have to be flashy or over-the-top to be unforgettable. It just needs to feel right for the two of you. Maybe that’s floating in warm turquoise water in Seychelles, wandering through ancient medinas in Morocco, or sharing a quiet bottle of wine with a view in Lisbon. February offers such a beautiful mix of places, some warm and sunny, some cozy and full of culture, and it’s all about finding the vibe that fits your story.
