Soon-to-be mom Kiara Advani dropped an Instagram post her husband, Siddharth Malhotra, and herself, enjoying their babymoon reportedly in Italy. The Game Changer actress was spotted with a pregnancy glow while enjoying delicacies such as pizza, macarons and more alongside her partner, making us want to get ahead on our babymoon planning (yes, even if we're currently single).
Gone are the days when a honeymoon was the only couple trip a pair planned for. Your 'moon' travels have a lot of new and exciting additions, from mini-moons i.e. bite-size versions of a honeymoon to mega-moons; which are a more lavish extension of the trip. Unarguably, the cutest one of them has to be the babymoon; which is a romantic holiday taken by parents-to-be before their child is born. While having a baby is joyous, it can be equally stressful and preparing for a new addition to one's family can be overwhelming. Carving out when your partner and you can have some 'us-time' is the best thing that you can do for both; your mental health and your relationship.
These pre-birth getaways can be an exciting opportunity for the couple to enjoy a romantic retreat and spoil themselves before jumping into parenthood. As evident by Kiara and Siddharth's outings, celebrity couples especially, have embraced this form of vacation time wholeheartedly by going on extravagant babymoons across the globe. If you are an expectant parent craving some time away or are a 'Plan A' parent-to-be who likes to be prepared for all the situations, then we have just the thing for you. Scroll below to find out what the go-to destinations are for celebrity couples on their babymoon vacations.
BABYMOON DESTINATIONS LOVED BY CELEBRITIES
1. Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan – Dubai
For Bebo and her nawab husband, Dubai was the choice of location for a babymoon before the birth of their eldest son, Taimur, in 2016. The Middle Eastern hub is a hotspot for luxurious travel and shopping. The city is a land of many iconic architectural creations; from the Burj Khalifa to Palm Jumeira.
2. Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja – Italy
Before the birth of her 2-year-old son Vayu, actress Sonam Kapoor and her businessman husband Anand Ahuja went on a babymoon to Italy in June of 2022. The pair visited Italian cities like Tuscany and Florence, enjoyed the Tuscan sun, Italian cuisine and the lush scenery offered by this Mediterranean destination. The couple shared loved-up images on Instagram, showing them having a fun time.
3. Mira Rajput and Shahid Kapoor – the Maldives
Shahid and Mira are the proof that arranged marriages can also be just as magical as love ones. The couple got hitched in 2015 and have since, been raising two children together. For their babymoon, the pair chose to ditch the typical Schengen countries and opted for the summery and tropical vibes of the Maldives. Full of pristine beaches, crystal clear water, vibrant marine life and luxurious hotel options, the Maldives works as a great option when looking at babymoon destinations.
4. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor – Italy
Just like Sonam, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor also opted for the culturally rich city of Tuscany for their babymoon destination. Tuscany in Italy is a medieval town-like city, full of vineyards and rolling hills transporting you back in time to a slower life. The city is well-known for its Renaissance influence, art, culture and food scenes.
5. Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra – Switzerland
The mountains and valleys of Switzerland have eternally been captured as the peak romance destination by Bollywood; it's no wonder Shilpa Shetty chose it as her babymoon destination before giving birth to her son Viaan. With its snow-covered peaks, fresh air and scenic marvels, this country remains a cinema lover's quintessential honeymoon destination and now is climbing ranks as a babymoon destination as well.
6. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh – London
Bollywood's 'it couple' welcomed their baby Dua in September 2024. Before that, the couple decided to spoil themselves with a lush babymoon in London. If you enjoy vacationing yet can't get away from the big city vibe for too long, cities like London make for great options.
