Before your first baby arrives, you go through a whole series of changes. Suddenly, you find yourself driven by things like “nesting” (there’s always something to hammer together or buy). Another aspect is your relationship. You already know it’s going to change. Reason enough to treat yourselves to a babymoon, your “last vacation as a couple.” Some of our Green PearlsⓇ partners are particularly well-suited for this and even have special offers for expectant parents.

 

Babymoon Special in the Romantic Hideaway Hotel Das Rübezahl

A top address for couples is the Hotel Das Rübezahl in the Allgäu. Set against a mountain backdrop with Neuschwanstein Castle and other royal castles, the area is super romantic. For couples, the sustainable hotel offers a range of services, from engraved love locks to horse-drawn carriage rides. There is even a babymoon special.

  • Starting at 900 euros per person, you can enjoy 3 nights and a variety of spa treatments (for him: a beer bath with hops and malt and a full-body massage; for her: a 60-minute facial, back massage, and foot bath). In addition, there’s a culinary indulgence program featuring breakfast, lunch, afternoon cake, and a 4-course dinner. Alternatively, you can enjoy a snack at the hotel’s own mountain hut (at 1,320 meters).

Pregnancy Spa at Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa

You’ll find a similarly relaxed atmosphere at the Klosterhof Alpine Hideaway & Spa in Bayerisch Gmain. The 1,500-square-foot spa area is the perfect place to unwind. Or enjoy the privacy of one of the suites, which include a private whirlpool and infrared sauna.

In addition, the Klosterhof houses a health center run by the hotel’s owner and physician, Dr. Andreas Färber. Special offers for pregnant women include prenatal massages (starting at 12 weeks) and lymphatic drainage. The kitchen is happy to accommodate special dietary needs (e.g., gestational diabetes), and the bar offers a wide selection of mocktails.

With the Klosterhof Babymoon Package (three nights starting at €658 per person), you’ll receive full board, private floating time in the Alpen-Soledum brine bath in the spa area, and a 50-minute massage for two. Depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual needs, expectant mothers have a wide range of options available.

Togetherness in your own chalet

Another popular destination for couples is the ADLER Lodge RITTEN in South Tyrol. Spend your babymoon in a modern, private wooden chalet surrounded by the beautiful mountain scenery of the Dolomites and enjoy the bio-sauna all to yourself. Drinks and meals are included in the price. According to the “farm-to-table” principle, most of the products come from the farm or the surrounding area.

The ADLER Lodge RITTEN Babymoon Special offers an indulgent experience for both of you:

  • 3 massages for her (1 x Harmony, 50 min, and 2 x Premaman massage, 50 min)
  • 3 massages for him (1 x Deep & Detox, 50 min, 1 x Harmony, 50 min, and 1 x massage with arnica oil)

In addition, you will find a bottle of non-alcoholic “Rocco Sparkling” and fresh fruit waiting for you in your room or chalet upon arrival. Prices (including the all-inclusive package) start at 548 euros.

Is it possible to go on a babymoon by yourself?

Why not? Even as an expectant mother, you deserve some time off before the joys (and stresses) of parenthood begin. For example, Lena Meyer-Landruth went on a solo babymoon in Tyrol. While her husband, the singer Mark Forster, was working in South Africa, she stayed at the Stanglwirt Organic and Wellness Hotel.

 

Babymoon Special at the Stanglwirt

  • The Babymoon package at the Stanglwirt includes two or three nights of accommodations with breakfast featuring organic products from the hotel’s farm. The package also includes a non-alcoholic sparkling wine upon arrival, a romantic dinner for two, and a 30-minute spa treatment for her.

The massive wellness area, spanning 12,000 m2, featuring a rock pool, relaxation rooms, and a sauna area, will be at your disposal. So will the daily vacation program and the wide range of sports activities.

Here’s another special treat: your new addition to the family will receive a gift, as well as a “baby voucher for their first vacation at the Stanglwirt.” This means your child is “cordially invited” on their first visit.

Prices range from €1,160 to €1,888 for two people for two nights and from €1,640 to €2,732 for three nights, depending on the room category.

Babymoon getaway with wellness tailored to your taste

Not all hotels that are well-suited for babymoons offer special packages. For example, we recommend the STURM, located at the foot of the Rhön Biosphere Reserve. It’s an ideal place for a couples’ getaway, with nature right at your doorstep to help you unwind. Together, you can stroll through the herb and snack garden and sample the ingredients that will end up on your plates at dinner. The Rhön Spa at the STURM offers wellness for the body, mind, and soul with a garden sauna, a fresh-air grotto, a steam bath, and various natural cosmetic treatments and massages. Or how about taking a yoga class together, followed by a dip in the swimming pond? It’s simply lovely.

The Benefits of Sustainable Hotels for Your Babymoon

If you need more reasons to spend your babymoon at a sustainable hotel like those featured here, consider the following:

  • All the babymoon hotels mentioned prioritize indoor air quality, ensuring you’re in a natural, toxin-free environment
  • Healthy organic food, some of which comes from the hotel’s own farm, provides you with everything your body needs in a delicious way.
  • You’ll enjoy wellness treatments using natural cosmetics.
  • The hotels generally prioritize environmental protection and CO2 reduction to preserve the world for future generations

Can you think of any other benefits? Or have you already been on a babymoon? Then share your experiences!
