When I was planning the perfect honeymoon, I didn’t want the stress of international travel—and I found out you really don’t need a passport to have an unforgettable trip. From coastal charm to mountain hideaways, I’ve discovered some seriously romantic U.S. spots that offer luxury, adventure, and everything in between.
Highlights:
- Relax in a beachfront bungalow—I soaked up the sun on Maui’s golden sands and never wanted to leave.
- Explore vineyard views and spa retreats—I spent lazy afternoons wine tasting in Napa Valley, California.
- Snuggle up in a cozy cabin—I loved the peaceful, snowy vibe in Aspen, Colorado.
- Take a dreamy carriage ride—Charleston, South Carolina totally swept me off my feet with its charm.
- Stroll hand-in-hand—I watched the sunset from the shores of Key West, Florida, and it felt like a movie moment.
