When it comes down to picking the perfect honeymoon destination, when you go can be as important as where you go. Just like most trips, the timing of your trip can affect everything: the cost, the weather, the activities, and the crowds.
The spring season in most destinations offers mild climates, a slower tourism season, and beautiful natural scenery coming out of its winter slumber. So, if you’re getting married in the spring season and want to plan your getaway around then, definitely factor the season into your final decision.
Here is the roundup of amazing spring honeymoon destinations around the world!

California Coast
From San Diego to San Francisco —and towns like Big Sur, Carmel and Monterey in between—you’ll find rugged coastlines, bright blue water, stately trees and dramatic cliffs just waiting to be explored.
San Diego and Los Angeles offer big city nightlife and luxury accommodations around amazing beaches and attractions. Spring is the perfect time to visit the Southern California coastline!
Further north, there are lots of cabins and resorts up the coastline of Mendocino County, some tucked away in the trees, and others with an ocean-front view.
If you are looking for a luxurious stay, there are beautiful, private accommodations with both ocean and mountain views and resorts that offer restaurants, daily activities more!
You can find oceanfront campsites, cozy tree houses, yurts and tent cabins in the area where you can pour a glass of wine and admire the beautiful and intimate scenery.

Florence
Springtime in Europe, while less sunny than the summer season, attracts smaller crowds of tourists and mild climates. In my humble opinion, Florence is the most romantic destination in Italy, with its quiet cobblestone street, rustic architecture and the grand Arno River flowing by.
Besides the architectural wonders like the Duomo, the breathtaking overlooks from Piazzale Michelangelo, and the delicious Italian cuisine, the charm of the city and local culture will be more than memorable.
Pasta and wine by candlelight, a gelato dessert break, followed by a live music serenade from the Ponte Vecchio, a Florence honeymoon will be everything you’ve dreamed of!

Santorini
This iconic Greek island is well known for its picturesque white buildings built into cliffs, and dramatic, heavenly sunsets. Santorini is home to unspoiled, stunning beaches, gorgeous landscapes, ancient cities, lively nightlife, and even an active volcano.
Spring is the best time for sightseeing everything the island has to offer!
Santorini will be more on the expensive side of honeymoon destinations, as you pay for the incredible views—whether it’s from your hotel room or restaurant table.
However, the shoulder season, April – May, will be cheaper than the summer months overall.
You’ll have to remember that you’re on island time, so if you are in favor of the laid-back, go-with-the-flow lifestyle, then Santorini is the perfect spring time honeymoon destination!
