What do you do if you don’t have time for a long, leisurely honeymoon? Why, do as Ivanka Trump and her newspaper scion husband Jared Kushner did, and take a mini moon. After their wedding in October 2009, the couple escaped to the Mayflower Inn & Spa in Washington, Connecticut, for a few days. Located just a train ride from New York City, near where they held their five-star bash, the 30-room New England inn provides a restful sojourn for any couple.

It was no joke when funny-girl actress, Anna Faris, and actor, Chris Pratt, eluded the paparazzi to wed on the tropical island of Bali in July 2009. Ringed by coral reefs, transparent waters and pristine beaches, this paradise promises an A-list experience for all.

Pennsylvania Trails

Planning an East Coast honeymoon? You’ve probably heard about the beauty of New York’s Adirondacks and Virginia’s Appalachians. But there’s another mountainous place in the mid-Atlantic to get you out of town and into the outdoors: the Poconos. This fresh expanse of countryside stretches across northeastern Pennsylvania, an under-two-hour drive from both Philadelphia and New York, and a six hour drive from Cleveland. Known for green hills and rushing rivers, the Poconos offer plenty of woodsy escapades for a couple looking for an active and quiet getaway. So get ready to hop on that bike, saddle up a horse or ease into a kayak—this is the summer camp you’ve been missing.

Summit Meeting in the Poconos

Summit

You may have heard about the Pocono Mountains’ romantic, couples-only resorts, with their champagne-glass whirlpools and big round beds. But did you know that they’re located in a wooded wonderland? Yep, Pennsylvania’s Poconos boast 2,400 square miles of peaks and valleys laced with three rushing rivers, 13 picturesque waterfalls and more than 150 lakes. Seven state parks, nearly 90,000 acres of state forest and a 70,000-acre national recreation area provide river adventures, magnificent hiking trails and great winter skiing.

Desert Getaways

Think of a desert honeymoon as one giant outdoor playground with some of the country's hippest casinos, most scenic golf courses and plushest resorts. No, you won't see any camels. But you will spy coyotes, cacti and roadrunners (beep beep)! Here, our picks quench your desire for days of fun in the sun and nights of decadence and delight.

Pocono Winter Wonderland

Considering a honeymoon in the snow? Look no further than the Pocono Mountains, a woodsy East Coast range that’s as prime for winter sports as it is for couples-only hotels. During ski season, which runs from the end of November to mid-March, eight major ski areas offer a variety of trails, plus night skiing and snow tubing. And while the Poconos cover a rather large swath of Pennsylvania, several resorts offer on-property ice-skating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding, so you can roll out of bed and right into action.
