The art of the Florida Babymoon
Its time for you and your partner to sit back, relax, and celebrate before the baby comes. It can be a wonderful time but planning where to spend that time can be overwhelming. If you’re thinking about Florida for your babymoon, our layah travel experts are revealing their favourite places to send their expectant clients.
We’ve had the privilege of planning many of these trips for our clients and truthfully, they’re some of our favourites. There’s something about this kind of travel that invites care in the quietest, most beautiful ways.
We’ve tucked pregnancy pillows into suites for maximum comfort, arranged non-alcoholic champagne for celebratory moments, swapped regular hotel snacks to accommodate food cravings, briefed massage therapists and, even made sure the ginger tea was warm and waiting after dinner. The best part? They never had to ask.
Why Florida?
Florida might surprise you. It’s not just theme parks and spring breakers. It’s also sun-warmed islands, sleepy beaches, enriching wellness, and historic charm. A perfect, gentle place for slowing down, indulging a little, and being truly present with the person you’re about to share a wild new chapter with.
Where to Go For Your Florida Babymoon:
Florida Keys
In the Keys, water feels like silk and time moves slowly. You don’t come to the Keys to do much. You come to exhale and indulge in wellness. To nap under a palm tree, sip something cold (zero-proof mojitos are a thing), and feel the baby kick.
Stay at Playa Largo Resort & Spa with its 14 acres of private shoreline in Key Largo. Think wide hammocks, polished interiors, and a slow, barefoot rhythm that makes you forget your phone entirely. The spa’s prenatal treatments are dreamy, and the sunsets? The kind that quiet the whole world.
Palm Beach
If you’re dreaming of something a little more classic, Palm Beach is your place. It’s polished but not precious. The kind of town where you can wear comfy linen and do nothing, and somehow feel like you’ve done it right.
The Eau Resort and Spa is the obvious choice, and for good reason. It’s grand, but it doesn’t try too hard. You’ll never want to leave the outdoor lounge and you’ll wish the five-star room service followed you home. Walk the beach at sunrise. Order dessert at breakfast (hello cravings!). Why not?
Amelia Island
A little pocket of calm near the Georgia border, Amelia Island is filled with southern hospitality and gorgeous, relaxing beaches.
Book a stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. It hugs the coastline in that effortless way, with wide balconies, deep soaking tubs, and a fireplace-lit spa that feels like a cocoon. There’s space to breathe here.
Rosemary Beach
The Gulf Coast’s best-kept secret. Rosemary Beach is small, walkable, and beautifully designed like a Mediterranean village right there in Florida. You can take walks, eat gelato, wander through bookshops. It’s quiet, but it has soul.
We love The Pearl Hotel. It’s right on the beach, and every room feels like it was made for slow mornings. The rooftop pool is ideal for doing very little. And the staff somehow knows what you need before you ask.
Final Thoughts
This isn’t about checking things off a list. It’s about soaking it all in before the big day when your life will change.
Let Florida be the warm, slow pause before life speeds up. No rush. No rules. Just you, your person, and the tiny heartbeat along for the ride.
