From Charleston to Bora Bora — the Best Babymoon Locations For Any Kind of Couple

While London is a huge draw when it comes to travel in the UK, spending your babymoon in York may be just what the doctor ordered. You'll feel like you've been transported to medieval Britain in this charming, historical city.

Check out the Quarter's twisting and turning alleyways and visit York Minster, a work of architectural grandeur that's meant to be admired. Grab a traditional tea at Bettys Café Tea Rooms and then spend some time browsing the shops in the Shambles.

And, what better way to see it all than to stay as centrally as possible. Grays Court is one of the most historic buildings in England — it was built in 1098 — and is located in a central part of the city, making everything easily accessible. And be sure not to miss the gardens at the hotel.

Phuket is a great way to see Thailand's beaches, but head to little-known Khanom for a bit of seclusion, while still getting an authentic Thai experience. Still mostly untouched with few resorts, beachgoers are treated to a pretty private experience. Additionally, the region is home to stunning pink dolphins, and it's close enough to Khao Sok National Park for a day trip, which can be arranged through the hotel or through a company like Exotic Voyages.

For the perfect babymoon getaway, spend your time at the Aava Resort & Spa. It's not only in a picturesque location, but it has top-notch food and beverage service, an amazing pool area, suites that offer a spectacular view, and a spa for that perfect prenatal massage or facial.

If Hawaii was on your bucket list but you haven't quite gotten there yet, there is no time like right before your baby arrives. Oahu hosts the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, accessible waterfalls, and a Hollywood tour that showcases where Jurassic Park, Lost, and more were filmed. Then head to the island's north side for a more laid-back vibe, complete with Hawaiian shaved ice from old town Haleiwa.

Check in to the Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina for the ultimate in luxury vacationing. Relax by the adults-only pool, visit the spa, and eat at the resort's several restaurants. Not only are the suites spacious, but the beds are like sleeping on clouds — take full advantage!

The best spot for an East Coast babymoon! The city is known for its mansions (including the famed Breakers!), which sit along Cliff Walk, but Newport has so many other great things to do and see. Check out the Newport Art Museum, Redwood Library and Athenaeum
, or the Newport Car Museum. However, if you want to spend time outside, there is the Norman Bird Sanctuary and the Bay Walk, which takes in the view from the perimeter of Fort Adams State Park.

With several shopping areas and a quaint section of town filled with coffee shops, don't miss brunch at Stoneacre Brasserie for field-to-fork dining and some outrageous biscuits. Savor a drink, lunch, or dinner at the White Horse Tavern, the oldest tavern in the US, established in 1673, or visit Brix Restaurant for a menu that is made completely from scratch.

As for accommodations, Gurney's has a stunning view of the water and a spa for a good prenatal or couple's massage.

This city in Germany has everything one could want in a babymoon. Cologne has a booming food scene, including a chocolate museum and an array of bakeries and cafes that are worth every calorie and can satisfy any pregnancy craving. Burn off some of those calories in the city's shopping district, which houses everything from high-end shops to boutiques. Then take in a bit of history at the city's stunning Cologne Cathedral and the Old Market.

Stay at the 25 Hours Hotel, which is close to every portion of the city, for an intergalactic experience and a great view of the cathedral at night from the rooftop bar and restaurant.

While there is enough to keep you busy in Cologne, the city is only about a 15-minute train ride from Brühl, which houses the Augustusburg and Falkenlust palaces, and is 20 minutes from the bustling city of Düsseldorf (don't miss the Christmas markets there if you go around the holidays), making for great day trips, too.

You can't deny that Santorini is one of the most romantic places in the world, and what better way to spend some time before baby arrives. Being able to connect as a couple under the stunning sunsets the Greek island has to offer will be an opportunity you will be glad you seized.

Take a catamaran cruise around the island, spend some time at the white- and red-sand beaches, check out an outdoor cinema (and cuddle up!), or take a Greek-style cooking class so you can bring the memories back when days with baby get tough.

For some extra luxury, check into the Canaves Oia in Santorini, which is located cliffside. The infinity pool and view of the Aegean Sea will take your breath away.

If you're looking for a place to totally relax and unwind, Palm Beach would be it. The laid-back Florida city is home to several resorts and stunning sandy beaches that make leaving the property almost pointless. However, if you do feel like getting out of your swimsuit or spa robe, there is plenty to do in Palm Beach, too.

The city is home to more than 40 antique shops. For more options, there's plenty of shopping to be done on Worth Avenue — the Rodeo Drive of the East. And, for new parents who are all about snapping pics to remember this last couple's holiday, stroll along the city's interactive Selfie Trail. You won't even need to ask anyone to take your picture!

Check out the EAU Resort & Spa if you're looking for something to customize to your own personality. There are several packages available, like a two-night wellness packages that includes mocktails and fitness classes (like yoga and barre). But the best part may be simply sitting on the beach, savoring the last moments before your baby arrives.

Whether during the Summer or the Winter, Montreal has a plethora of activities that can please any couple on a babymoon. In the Summer, the old city is alive with excitement, as patrons walk in and out of the area's many shops and restaurants. In the Winter, the city is magical and romantic — albeit cold.

Try a Montréal-style bagel, see the Basilique Notre-Dame, stroll through the artsy Plateau Mont-Royal, or join in the fun at the Old Port of Montréal, which houses the city's La Grande Roue de Montréal. As for restaurants, splurge on a meal at Leméac, which makes "best of" lists time and time again, or newcomer Pastel, which has put a creative spin on gastronomy.

To be in the centre of it all, book a stay at Hotel William Gray, which is in the heart of the old city. Additionally, it has a rooftop restaurant and bar for brunch with a view and an intimate pool area for some semiprivate relaxation.

If you're a food-loving couple, then Portland is a great option for a babymoon. Spend your time walking the streets and popping in as many cool eateries, coffee shops, and bakeries as your heart desires. Splurge for a meal at Beast, headed by the renowned Naomi Pomeroy, and cap off your night (or morning) with a treat from VooDoo Doughnuts.

Don't miss some of the other exciting sights once you're fuelled up and ready to go. Head to Powell's Books, the Rhododendron Garden, the Japanese Garden, or just take a few walks around the city's green spaces, which are known to be filled with roses.

If you're looking for a place to stay, the Paramount Hotel Portland is in the middle of the city and offers an array of amenities without added costs. The hotel also has an impressive array of packages to help shape your holiday and even offers you some discounts . . . which means more money for doughnuts.

Close to the eastern seaboard of the US, Bermuda makes for a quick and easy babymoon getaway. Stunning pink sand beaches, whitewashed English cottages, a lively city, and some interesting and historical landmarks make this a place where you can kick back and enjoy the sun or set out on a little adventure.

Couples can indulge in sunset walks on the resort's private pink sand beach or unwind at Sense, a Rosewood Spa, with a couples massage using local natural ingredients and age-old techniques.

If you're looking to go somewhere that's superexclusive and relaxing, Bora Bora is the spot. Explore the beautiful beaches, shop in the pearl market for a keepsake or two, and schedule a water tour of your choice — the crystal clear water brings you closer to marine life than ever and the island's lagoons are not to be missed.

From over-water bungalows that you will have no reason to leave to garden suites with private pools or beach suites with private hot tubs, this is the perfect place to hole up and be together before the new bundle of joy arrives.

No babymoon list is complete without a mention of New York City, a place that literally has it all. Want to eat your way through Little Italy and Chinatown? You can do that. Shopping on the Lower East Side? Check. Or there is always the theatre, museums, historical landmarks, and so many places to sightsee (and take fabulous babymoon photos!). Want to just hang out for a day? With rooftops that double as pools or lounges, there is always somewhere to have some downtime.

While the city is huge and there are plenty of places to stay, escape the hustle and bustle of Times Square for Tribeca with a stay at the Arlo SoHo Hotel. The boutique hotel neighbours some of the most beautiful cobblestone streets, has easy access to public transportation, and has the most stunning view from the rooftop. Not to mention, the hotel's courtyard is transformed into a seasonally themed oasis and has a top-notch food and beverage program.

Ah, yes, romantic Venice. The Italian city is sure to meet all of your babymoon expectations. The perfect cross between historical, romantic, and awe-inspiring, there are lots of experiences in the city that should not to be missed — besides gelato and pizza.
