Where is a Good Place to Honeymoon in November?

With cooler weather and fewer crowds, November is a fantastic time for travel to many destinations around the globe. But if you’re dreaming of a romantic getaway that doesn’t involve bundling up, you’ll find no shortage of warm-weather – and hurricane-free – honeymoon destinations. For sunny beaches, swaying palm trees, and sparkling, crystalline waters, our top picks include Aruba, Bora Bora, and Riviera Maya, Mexico.  

Bora Bora: A Honeymoon for the Ages

Famous for its picturesque natural beauty and sophisticated vibe, Bora Bora is one of the most iconic honeymoon destinations worldwide. Nestled among the Leeward Islands of French Polynesia, this lush, green island offers dramatic mountain vistas, clear blue skies, and inviting tropical waters. With its vibrant culture, friendly locals, and reputation for luxury, Bora Bora has long been a favorite of A-list celebrities including Jennifer Aniston and Justin Bieber. For a romantic honeymoon in a quintessential island paradise, Bora Bora promises a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget. 

Things to Do in Bora Bora

When you’re not relaxing on the island’s stunning beaches, you’ll find plenty to explore on beautiful Bora Bora. Rent a bike and discover the island at your leisure. Or engage your sense of adventure with a sunset cruise or snorkeling excursion with sting rays and sharks.

Expand your culinary horizons and sample the local cuisine at Bora Bora Beachclub Restaurant, located on famous Matira Beach. Sample Tahitian specialties like the sweet and refreshing Poisson Cru or the delicious raw fish salad known as Ika Mata. To enjoy stunning views and a delicious. meal, book on a romantic sunset cruise on the turquoise waters of Bora Bora’s iconic lagoon. 

No honeymoon in Bora Bora is complete without a stay in one of the island’s luxurious over-water bungalow resorts. Bask in the Tahitian sun, dive into the lagoon, and enjoy the privacy of your very own island retreat in a romantic over-the-water bungalow. 

While Bora Bora’s reputation as an expensive travel destination is well-earned, the island offers accommodations at various price points. For the best of Bora Bora on a budget, try Sofitel Bora Bora Marara Beach Resort. This 4-star luxury resort offers bungalows set 75% over the water. They’re just as beautiful as their more expensive counterparts, but are more moderately priced. Or, to honeymoon like the stars, choose the extravagantly lavish St. Regis Bora Bora Resort. You’ll experience exceptional service and top-of-the-line amenities – just be prepared to splurge!

How is Bora Bora in November?

In November, Bora Bora experiences sunny warm weather with average temperatures around 80°-85°F. Since November falls during the island’s dry season, you can also expect to encounter little to no rainfall. With fewer crowds and frequent deals on accommodations during this month, November is an ideal time to visit beautiful Bora Bora. 

Riviera Maya, Mexico: Laid-Back Luxury

Along the sunny shores of the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll find picturesque beaches, tropical waters, and an array of luxurious all-inclusive resorts. Located safety outside the hurricane belt, Mexico’s breathtaking Riviera promises a tropical paradise free of hurricane stress! 

Romantic resorts abound along the Riviera Maya. But for a relaxing, adults-only honeymoon with service that exceeds expectations, consider Secrets Maroma Beach. Just a short drive from Cancun International Airport, Secrets Maroma Beach Resort is a conveniently located oasis where you’ll feel miles away from the stressors of everyday life. With swim-up suites, 24-hour concierge service, and stunning ocean views, this top-rated, all-inclusive resort combines upscale luxury with a welcoming, laid-back vibe.

Pamper yourselves at the full-service spa and indulge in delicious international fare at the resort’s staggering selection of restaurants.

You’ll find everything from extravagant buffets and room service menus to gourmet Mexican and Pan-Asian options. Be sure to enjoy the incredible French fare at our personal favorite, Bordeaux. To engage your sense of adventure, Riviera Maya offers plenty of options for exciting off-resort excursions. From cultural sites like the ruins of Tulum to the magical of Xcaret, there’s plenty to do in Riviera Maya!

Or you can hop over to the other side of Mexico and experience the Pacific coast!

Aruba: Romantic Island Vibes

The beautiful warm waters, iconic pink-sand beaches, and vibrant island culture of Aruba  – along with its prime location south of the hurricane belt – make this Caribbean island one of the very best November honeymoon destinations. 

For a romantic stay with a dazzling ocean view, there’s simply nowhere better than Bucuti & Tara. This world-famous boutique resort consistently tops “most romantic hotel” lists. Bucuti & Tara even provides a dedicated romance concierge staff, who will help you build a romantic getaway that’s perfect for you.

In keeping with their peaceful, wellness-centered vibe, Bucuti & Tara does not offer nightlife. We suggest renting a car for easy access to lively Oranjestad, where you’ll find vibrant nightlife, incredible dining, and plenty of shopping. It takes less than an hour to drive from one end of Aruba to the other, and with your own wheels, you’ll have the flexibility to explore the island at your leisure.

Discover world-famous Flamingo Beach and Arikok National Park. Here you’ll find ancient cave drawings at Fontein Cave and the remote but ever-popular Natural Pool. And with the freedom of your own car, you can easily escape cruise crowds and head to the island’s less crowded beaches!

Which Island is Best for Honeymoon in November? 

If the Caribbean is your ideal destination, look to Aruba for a tropical honeymoon experience – outside of the hurricane belt. With picture-perfect weather, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to experience all the island has to offer. From ATV tours and snorkeling to romantic horseback riding, romance and adventure abound in Aruba.
