What is a Babymoon?
A babymoon is similar to a honeymoon. It is a designated time away for couples to connect, celebrate, relax, and have fun. The main difference is that a babymoon is a short vacation for a couple before the birth or arrival of their child. Babymoons are perfect for traditional couples, couples adopting, or even couples beginning a journey as foster parents.

You can soak up some rays while lying on the beach, unwind at one of the local spas, and dine at award-winning local restaurants.
