What Makes a Resort Pregnancy Friendly

Look for a spa with prenatal treatments on the menu, food and drink you can enjoy, like mocktails, and somewhere calm, whether that's an adults-only retreat or a lodge with only a few guests. An easy trip from home helps too.

For the health side, including when to travel, flying while pregnant and insurance, our guide to the best babymoon destinations covers it in detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What week is best for a babymoon?

Many people find the middle of pregnancy, roughly four to six months, the most comfortable time to travel, according to NHS guidance quoted in our guide to the best babymoon destinations. Agree your dates with your doctor or midwife, then check each resort's rules, since some spas only offer pregnancy massage from the second trimester.

Can you get a massage at a resort when pregnant?

Many resort spas offer one, but each sets its own rules. Terranea's prenatal massage starts from week 14, and qualia offers pregnancy massage in the second and third trimesters only. Mention your pregnancy when you book.

Is 7 months too late for a babymoon?

That's a question for your doctor or midwife. If you'd rather not fly, a resort you can drive to keeps it simple, like Bells at Killcare from Sydney or Cavallo Point from San Francisco. Each airline also sets its own rules for flying while pregnant.

What is a babymoon getaway?

It's a relaxing trip for parents-to-be before the baby arrives, usually a few nights at a resort with spa time, good food and nothing on the schedule. Our guide to the babymoon meaning explains where the idea comes from and when couples take one.
