Babymoon Travel FAQs
What is the ideal time in pregnancy to go on a babymoon?
This is down to personal choice, but experts say that the best time to take a babymoon is mid-pregnancy. This should mean any morning sickness and first-trimester tiredness have subsided, but the mom-to-be is not yet too uncomfortable.
Flying is not recommended in late pregnancy for the safety of mom and baby. Airlines can tell you at what point in pregnancy they will refuse travel.
Which destinations are baby-friendly after delivery?
Ras Al Khaimah is ideal for adult-only retreats like babymoons. However, it also has plenty of family-friendly resorts where you will have all you need to enjoy time away with your child, like infant pools, child-friendly restaurants and kids’ clubs.
