While iconic destinations like Rome, Athens, and Mallorca offer stunning honeymoons, they can be expensive, and many couples prefer to stay closer to home. Upgraded Points' latest study shows that a dream honeymoon doesn’t always require an international flight or a large budget. By analyzing over 75 popular U.S. cities based on 15 ranking factors, the study highlights the top domestic honeymoon destinations for 2025. These destinations were evaluated under summer conditions (June through September) to reflect the peak honeymoon season.

Topping the list is Miami Beach, Florida, a place that’s practically synonymous with romance. Miami Beach stands out with 7.72 romantic stays and 32.33 romantic restaurants per 10,000 residents, far above the national average. Along with its high number of romantic hotels and eateries, Miami Beach also boasts 147 couple-friendly attractions and 31 honeymoon-specific experiences. What's even more impressive is that romantic stays here average just $64 per night, well below the national average of $158.

Travelers heading to Rome in the coming weeks will find themselves arriving during a moment of historical and emotional significance. With the passing of Pope Francis, both Rome and Vatican City are experiencing an extraordinary influx of visitors, pilgrims, mourners, and world leaders alike, many of whom were already planning trips for the upcoming Jubilee Year. As such, navigating it all will require patience and planning.

“This is a time of great reflection and reverence in Rome,” says Kathy McCabe, host of Dream of Italy and Dream of Europe on PBS, and founder of Dream of Italy Magazine. “If you already have plans to visit during this period, reconfirm all reservations, book ahead wherever possible, and plan your days with flexibility and patience.”
