Is Mexico Too Hot for a June Honeymoon? Exploring Other Romantic Destinations
18
January
Question:
Humans say...
Jaime
From personal experience there is currently some super awesome deals to Cuba right now. I know you mentioned the heat, but there is still ways to stay cool and enjoy your beach destination.
Erin
Keep Zika in mind if you are considering starting a family soon.
Becky
San Francisco is awesome. You can also get on buses and do wine tour in Napa/Sonoma valley.
Megan
We thought about San Fran but I was told it's really smoggy in the summer?
Becky
I hadn't noticed that.....
Megan
That's good to know! it was at the top of my list until I was told about the smog
Barb
I've travelled a lot, but hesitate to tell anyone where they should vacation. Totally depends on how much money you have and what you like to do .....if you want a beach vacation, go to the the Caribbean or Mexico. If you are really into food, San Francisco. Music and great food....New Orleans. History ....Washington d.c. A little of everything .....New York. You are right, it will be very hot in Mexico or Cuba. If you like the heat but want somewhere a little different, consider Belize, Bahamas or Costa Rica. Lots and lots of choices....only limits are your budget and your imagination. Enjoy!
Megan
We have not a huge budget, but one we can work with.
Personally I'd like to site see but am not sure where best would be (besides Europe cause that's out of our budget at the moment) I was thinking San Fran or even Montreal. My fiancé and I haven't traveled at all other than Mexico, which is why I was thinking there cause it would be easy and familiar
Barb
Megan Kelly you won't go wrong with either Montreal or San Francisco. Both have lots to see, great food and good weather in June.

If you do go to San Fran, I highly recommend the drive down the pacific coast highway to the town of Carmel by the Sea. It's a very charming seaside town and worth the two hour drive.
Kam
That is well written post ??
Sandra
Do you like wine? If so, wine tour the Okanagan - had a wonderful holiday there last summer and going back again in June!
Adelita
San Diego or Boston? New Orleans is wonderful but humid...although the spectacular food would make up for any weather concerns
how about Austin or Seattle?
Giles
Congrats! Number one romantic place I've been is staying in a hotel with a private balcony overlooking the Caldera in Santorini, Greece.

A contender for the most romantic place in Europe.
Kelly
emerald lake lodge ... salt spring island .... tofino. Like 3 honeymoons!
Beverley
Without a doubt. Hawaii but not Honolulu. (too commercialized and noisy)
Jackie
If you wanted the old world feel of Europe, then Quebec City is or very own hidden treasure. Highly recommend wandering there for a handful of days.
Jenni
Spirit Ridge Resort in Osoyoos! It's lovely here today. Our niece was married here yesterday. ?

June falls during New Zealand's winter, offering cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, making it an ideal time for exploring outdoor activities and enjoying cozy accommodations.
Exploring British Columbia
If you're considering staying closer to home, British Columbia (BC) offers a wealth of breathtaking destinations perfect for a honeymoon:
- Vancouver Island: With its stunning coastlines, pristine beaches, and charming towns like Tofino and Victoria, Vancouver Island is a popular honeymoon spot. June is an excellent time to visit, with mild temperatures ideal for hiking, whale watching, and enjoying the vibrant local culture.
