Is the pressure of planning your perfect wedding stressing you out? Then it's time to take a quick break, away from all the wedding prep. A honeymoon before you get hitched, an earlymoon, is the perfect way to unwind with your partner before the big day. From majestic skylines to intimate beaches, here are the five best earlymoon destinations you can visit to reconnect and fall in love with your partner, all over again.  

Stowe, Vermont

If you prefer spending your days hiking and skiing, Stowe in Vermont is the ideal romantic getaway for you. It boasts quaint towns, expansive greenery, charming bridges, and a host of breweries. Winter is the best time to visit, thanks to the picture-perfect snow-capped peaks. The Green Mountain state road trip, skiing in Mount Mansfield, hiking up to Sterling Pond, and driving through Smugglers Notch and Gold Brook covered bridge, are some of the must-try experiences in Vermont. Stowe is also home to many farm-to-table restaurants and crafted breweries. The Montana apple cider doughnuts and fresh maple syrup are a delectable treat you should indulge in. 

Tahiti, French Polynesia

The majestic island of Tahiti is nothing less than a post-impressionist painting by Paul Gaugin. This lush tropical site is the largest island in French Polynesia and is a reflection of untamed nature with black sand beaches, lagoons, and turquoise waterfalls. The swoon-worthy view of the tropical sunset is a breathtaking backdrop for a prenuptial getaway. Not to mention the blue-to-be-real ocean encircling French Polynesia, which is one of the best places for scuba diving, snorkelling, aqua trekking, underwater scooter tours, and jet skis. You can go for a stroll around the secret waterfall in the jungle and motorbike through the pineapple plantation while hiking to the island's interior ‘Moorea’ or indulge in cultural activities like palm frond weaving and ukulele lessons. 

Tulum, Mexico 

If you love sandy shores and tropical beaches, then Tulum is for you. The pristine stretch of the Tulum coastline is filled with sugar sand shores, cobalt water views, and a crystal-clear bay that is breathtaking, to say the least. Tulum is one of the Mayan ruins that blanket the Yucatan peninsula; the Muyil and Coba ruins are some of the well-preserved coastal Mayan sites that are bustling with tourists. Sian Ka’an Reef, a spectacular tapestry of Mesoamerican reefs, is one of the best places to snorkel on this planet. Exploring the natural sinkholes in the lagoons and floating above the Mayan canal will be a holiday to destress and adventure together. The ‘Gran Cenote’ is a quixotic hotspot for swimming, diving, and snorkelling. Tulum is brimming with street art and galleries which are a visual treat for any art connoisseur. Immerse in art at the SFERIK Museum inside the Azulik Hotel.

Bozeman, Montana

If exotic getaways are not your cup of tea, then opt for a romantic escape like Bozeman which is brimming with spectacular wildlife, mountains, and culinary surprises. From hiking in the summer to skiing in the winter, Bozeman is the trailhead for it all. Nordic skiing and groomed trails up in the Bridger Mountains are some excellent outdoor activities to partake in during winter. On the other hand, hiking on local trails, kayaking, fly fishing, stand-up paddle boarding, and rafting are some of the romantic ideas for summer. After a long day of blood-pumping activity, take a long soak in one of the scenic hot springs. Fuel up with some exceptional local flavours featuring bison, huckleberries, morels, chokecherries etc, and cosy up with your partner. 

Maui, Hawaii

This Hawaiian archipelago is packed with lush rainforests and powder sand beaches. The spectacular sunrise over Haleakala is one of the most coveted experiences in Maui. Couples can sprawl across this luxurious island and find respite in a luau with traditional Hawaiian fare, hula, live music, and fire dancing. There are lush green forests and trails to hike for active twosomes. Walk along the black volcanic pebbly shores of Wai Anapanapa. Driving through the scenic road of Hana and a blue Hawaiian helicopter tour to explore the island's upcountry filled with rolling green hills and Haleakala National Park. The lanes in north Paia can offer an artsy spin to your romantic trip.
