When it comes to honeymoon destinations in the USA, many only think of the beautiful beaches of Hawaii or the spectacular coastline of California. In reality, these destinations are not only incredibly far away when flying from Europe, but also the most expensive. What you may not know is that there are countless other dream locations in the USA where you and your partner can start your life together.
The USA may also be one of the first countries to reopen its doors to travelers. But even if the borders are not yet open in the summer, you can already apply for an ESTA for the USA, because the ESTA is valid for two years . As you can read below, the USA offers many other places for an unforgettable honeymoon besides Hawaii and California. We have selected some for you.
1. Adirondacks
Take a luxurious all-inclusive or camping vacation in the Adirondacks near New York. Spend your days hiking through the woods in search of the perfect spot for a picnic, and in the evenings dine in elegant style. Once owned by William Avery Rockefeller, this place embodied 19th-century notions of romantic escapes (and it still does).
2. Key Largo
Key West usually gets all the praise, but for another setting with Instagram-worthy sunsets, you have to be in Key Largo. The Upper Keys, with their wide, warm, white-sand beaches, are just an hour's drive from Miami. Key Largo has an upscale beach house vibe, and the bay sunsets and tropical setting of the island are breathtaking. Couples who want to take it a step further can ride an inflatable raft through the mangroves, take a cruise ship tour for a sunny ride down US-1, or hit the water on a stand-up paddle board.

3. Newport County
Newport County in Rhode Island has it all, with its authentic New England charm, stately homes and scenic coastal views. During the Gilded Age, the wealthiest families in the United States made this seaside town their summer home. Today, more than a dozen valuable properties are preserved by dedicated organizations dedicated to protecting heritage. For those seeking a quiet honeymoon, Newport offers plenty of activities, from cliff-hiking to sailing to visiting Fort Adams State Park.
4. Nashville
For couples looking for a healthy dose of culture on their honeymoon, Nashville is the perfect city with great food, art and music. Your honeymoon will be filled with architecture - Nashville is known for its Parthenon, which was recreated from the original structure in Athens - and musical inspiration from the shops on Music Row, as well as an unforgettable barbecue. For the perfect accommodation, book a penthouse suite near Pie Town to stay close to the bustling city center.
5. Savannah
Finally, Savannah, Georgia is one of the most romantic cities in the USA, with cobblestone streets, moss-green trees, southern charm and historic architecture. Many hotels and bed and breakfasts in Savannah also offer honeymoon packages. There are plenty of activities and experiences to celebrate love here. Stroll with your loved one past the 19th-century mansions and Spanish moss-covered walls to one of the historic city's 22 squares, each with a beautiful garden perfect for a picnic.
In summary, the USA clearly has honeymoon options for every couple. While it may be tempting to leave everything behind and fly straight to the USA, there is still a health crisis. That said, it's never too early to plan ahead. One of the most important steps is to apply for an ESTA . You and your partner will both need to apply for an ESTA.
