An international honeymoon doesn’t have to mean an international-sized budget. With the right destination and timing, couples can enjoy a romantic getaway abroad — complete with beaches, culture, and unforgettable memories — for under ₹2 lakhs per couple. Here’s a curated list of the best value-for-money international honeymoon destinations from India in 2026.
1. Thailand
Thailand remains one of the most accessible international honeymoons for Indians, thanks to visa-free entry and short flight times. Return fares from Delhi or Mumbai to Bangkok start as low as ₹18,000–₹28,000 per person during non-peak windows, and the country offers everything from Koh Samui beaches to Phuket sunsets and Chiang Mai hill retreats.
Estimated budget: ₹1.1–1.8 lakhs per couple for 6-7 nights

2. Bali, Indonesia
Bali continues to top honeymoon wish lists with its rice paddies, temples, and beaches, and remains genuinely affordable thanks to a weak rupiah. Couples can enjoy sunset views at Uluwatu Temple and relax in private pool villas without stretching the budget.
Estimated budget: ₹1.4–2 lakhs per couple for a week
3. Vietnam
Vietnam blends scenic landscapes with affordable stays and street food. Coastal towns like Phu Quoc and Nha Trang, plus culturally rich Hanoi and Ninh Binh, make for a well-rounded, budget-friendly honeymoon.
Estimated budget: ₹1.2–1.8 lakhs per couple for a week
4. Sri Lanka
A short flight away, Sri Lanka pairs quiet beaches with tea-country hill stations, wildlife safaris, and wellness retreats — all at a lower cost than most other international options.
Estimated budget: ₹1.2–1.7 lakhs per couple for a week
5. Malaysia
Malaysia is ideal for couples who want an easy, effortless honeymoon — skyline views in Kuala Lumpur, sunset chasing in Langkawi, and excellent food, all with extended visa-free entry for Indians.
Estimated budget: ₹1.3–1.9 lakhs per couple for a week
6. Singapore
For couples who want a clean, modern, and hassle-free honeymoon, Singapore delivers with Sentosa’s beaches, Gardens by the Bay, and excellent connectivity — a favorite in most international couple packages under this budget.
Estimated budget: ₹1.5–2 lakhs per couple for 5-6 nights
7. Bhutan
A peaceful, nature-first honeymoon for couples who’d rather skip crowded tourist hubs. Scenic valleys, monasteries, and mountain views come with simple travel formalities and easy access from India.
Estimated budget: ₹1.3–1.8 lakhs per couple for a week
8. Maldives (Local Islands)
While overwater resort villas can be pricey, staying on local islands rather than private resort islands brings the Maldives well within budget, with free visa on arrival and flights of just 2-3.5 hours from India.
Estimated budget: ₹1.5–2 lakhs per couple for 5-6 nights

Turquoise lagoons, palm-fringed beaches, and the famous Chamarel colored earth make Mauritius a dreamy pick. It’s slightly higher in this budget range but still achievable with the right package and season.
Estimated budget: ₹1.7–2 lakhs per couple for 6-7 nights
10. Dubai, UAE
For couples who want a shorter trip with a mix of luxury, desert adventure, shopping, and skyline views, Dubai fits comfortably into this budget over 4-5 nights.
Estimated budget: ₹1.2 lakhs per couple for 4-5 nights
Tips to Keep Your International Honeymoon Under ₹2 Lakhs
Travel in shoulder season
Avoid peak months like December and April for lower flight and hotel rates.
Book flights 2-3 months in advance
International honeymoon fares rise sharply closer to the date.
Choose all-inclusive packages
Bundled flights, stays, and transfers usually cost less than booking separately.
Be flexible with dates
Shifting your trip by even 2-3 days can significantly lower costs.
Balance destinations
Pair a costlier city (like Singapore) with a cheaper add-on stop to average out the budget.

A memorable international honeymoon under ₹2 lakhs is very achievable in 2026 — it just takes the right destination and a bit of planning. Whether you want Thailand’s islands, Bali’s romance, or Bhutan’s quiet mountains, there’s a destination that fits both your budget and your dream honeymoon.
