Pickyourtrail, a travel planning company, lists 12 honeymoon destinations for December in a guide last updated on 6 March 2026, from Goa at 25 to 30 degrees Celsius to Switzerland at minus 2 to 8. It also gives each place a rough budget per couple and a suggested trip length, which makes the choice far easier than scrolling through photos.
This guide to winter honeymoon destinations in India and abroad turns that list into a plan. You will see four Indian options and eight overseas ones, grouped by weather, budget and trip length, plus a booking checklist. Every figure comes from Pickyourtrail, which is a seller of holidays, so treat the budgets as starting points and ask for live quotes.
How to Choose a Winter Honeymoon
Start with three questions: do you want warm beaches or real cold, how many days can you take, and what budget per couple feels comfortable? Pickyourtrail’s list answers all three, because it gives temperature, budget and trip length for each place.
Two points shape the shortlist. Most December honeymoon spots in the list are warm, in the range of 18 to 32 degrees Celsius. Only Switzerland is properly cold. If you want snow, the choice is narrow, and if you want sun, the choice is wide.
Winter Honeymoon Destinations in India
Domestic trips save on flights, visas and time. The source lists four Indian choices for December, all of them warm.
| Destination | Temperature (°C) | Budget per couple (rupees) | Suggested days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goa | 25 to 30 | 30,000 to 50,000 | 5 |
| Pondicherry | 24 to 29 | 40,000 to 60,000 | 5 |
| Kerala | 23 to 32 | 70,000 to 1,20,000 | 7 |
| Andaman | 25 to 30 | 80,000 to 1,40,000 | 6 |
Goa suits couples who want beaches and nightlife on a lower budget. Pondicherry is quieter, with a French-influenced feel. Kerala combines backwaters, hills and beaches, which is why it needs a full week. Andaman is the premium Indian beach choice, and its higher price reflects the travel involved.

Winter Honeymoon Destinations Outside India
Pickyourtrail lists eight overseas options. Prices are for a couple and cover the suggested number of days, according to the source.
| Destination | Temperature (°C) | Budget per couple (rupees) | Suggested days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vietnam | 18 to 25 | 70,000 to 1,00,000 | 6 |
| Thailand | 22 to 28 | 80,000 to 1,10,000 | 6 |
| Bali | 26 to 32 | 1,00,000 to 1,50,000 | 7 |
| Dubai | 20 to 26 | 1,20,000 to 1,80,000 | 5 |
| Maldives | 26 to 30 | 2,50,000 to 5,00,000 | 5 |
| Mauritius | 25 to 30 | 2,00,000 to 4,00,000 | 7 |
| Switzerland | minus 2 to 8 | 3,00,000 to 5,50,000 | 7 |
| New Zealand | 18 to 26 | 3,50,000 to 6,00,000 | 10 |
Southeast Asia gives the best value, with Vietnam, Thailand and Bali below 1,50,000 rupees at the top of their ranges. The Maldives and Mauritius are island luxury picks. New Zealand needs ten days, so it only works if you can take a long leave.
Cold Honeymoon Destinations: Who Should Pick Switzerland
Couples searching for cold honeymoon destinations outside India will find that the list is short. In the source, Switzerland is the only one with sub-zero temperatures, at minus 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, and it is also near the top of the budget range at 3,00,000 to 5,50,000 rupees for seven days.
That means you need warm clothing, winter boots and a plan for snow days. It also means a Schengen visa for most Indian passport holders, so allow time for the application. Always check the current rules with the embassy or the visa centre.
Budget, Booking Window and Paperwork
Honeymoon prices change with the season and with how early you book. Pickyourtrail’s tips suggest booking at least four to six months ahead for December, although its FAQ says two to four months. Treat the longer window as the safer one, especially for flights and top resorts.
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| Pick two or three options | Compare weather, budget and days together |
| Ask for live quotes | The budgets here are ranges from one source |
| Check visas | Confirm rules for your passport and dates, including Schengen for Switzerland |
| Buy travel insurance | Cover cancellations, medical costs and lost bags |
| Book flights and stays early | December is peak season for most places on this list |
The source is inconsistent on the Dubai visa, describing an e-visa in one place and visa on arrival in another. Check the official rules before you pay for anything.
