Best US Honeymoon Destinations 2021
We can all agree that planning a wedding during the pandemic (or for some, replanning a wedding for the 2nd or 3rd time) has been extremely stressful. That is why Andiamo is here to take the weight off your shoulders for planning your dream honeymoon. Over the past year, many couples have opted for a destination closer to the home or a quick “mini moon” getaway post-wedding to unwind with the hopes of a longer European vacay in the future. We have you covered with the top Honeymoon Destinations from the east coast to west coast and all in between.
Napa Valley & Sonoma County
Sonoma and Napa both offer a truly opulent and romantic setting as well as incredible culinary options and endless wineries. The region boasts some of the best restaurants in the country,. We recommend renting a car to drive between destinations to really experience all the area has to offer.

Hawaii
For those looking for a honeymoon destination in the US with a completely different feel, but that still falls within the US, Hawaii is the perfect spot. There are currently additional COVID-19 entry requirements for entering the islands and for going between, but Andiamo is here to help you manage all the details. Each island offers a unique personality, making it hard to choose just one! For honeymooners, we recommend starting with the hustle and bustle of Maui and ending on the idyllic island of Lanai.

Four Seasons Lanai has 213 guest rooms and suites built throughout the property in a series of low-rise buildings spread along the Pacific coastline. Or guests can opt for a spa-centric, adults only experience at Sensei by Four Seasons Lanai. Enjoy the many restaurants on property, including their own NOBU LANAI, which created new private dining experiences for Japanese cuisine such as sushi-making classes. Lanai is considered one of the last unspoiled islands and the Four Seasons is located in the heart of all of the amazing nature and activities.
South Carolina
With beautiful weather and sunsets, South Carolina is home to many idyllic destinations for your honeymoon. From larger cities like Charleston or Hilton Head Island, to expansive beaches and nature preserves, South Carolina has something to offer for everyone. For active couples, enjoy world-class golf, hiking and biking or set out on the water for a day of boating or relaxing on the beach. South Carolina has everything you could want for a beautiful socially-distanced vacation, and for most just a quick direct flight away.
