One of the advantages of getting married in Colorado: Denver International Airport connects to virtually everywhere. Nonstop flights reach both US coasts, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, and beyond. And if you'd rather not board another plane after your wedding weekend, Colorado itself offers honeymoon destinations that rival anywhere in the world.

The "Stay in Colorado" Honeymoon
For couples who want to extend their Colorado experience — or simply decompress without another travel day — the state offers genuinely world-class honeymoon options:
Dunton Hot Springs — Dolores
If you didn't get married here, consider honeymooning here. A restored 1800s ghost town with natural hot springs, hand-hewn log cabins, and an all-inclusive experience that includes gourmet meals, unlimited beverages, and guided outdoor activities. It's one of the most romantic places in America.
Budget: Starting at $1,400/night (all-inclusive for two)
Best for: Seclusion, romance, winter hot springs, unplugging

The Little Nell — Aspen
Aspen's only five-star, five-diamond hotel. Ski-in/ski-out in winter, hiking and biking access in summer. The restaurant, element 47, is one of the best in the state.
Budget: Starting at $500/night (off-season) to $2,000+/night (peak ski season)
Best for: Luxury, dining, skiing, mountain culture

The Broadmoor — Colorado Springs
A five-star, five-diamond resort with 5,000 acres, a spa, multiple restaurants, golf courses, and the Broadmoor Wilderness Experience — a series of luxury outdoor adventures including zip-lining, fly fishing, hiking, and rock climbing.
Budget: Starting at $400/night
Best for: Active honeymoons, spa, golf, diverse activities

Hot Springs Circuit
Colorado's geothermal hot springs create a natural honeymoon road trip:
- Glenwood Hot Springs — World's largest mineral hot springs pool. Website: hotspringspool.com
- Strawberry Park Hot Springs (Steamboat Springs) — Natural rock pools in a forest setting. Clothing-optional after dark. Website: strawberryhotsprings.com
- Orvis Hot Springs (Ridgway) — Rustic, intimate, near Telluride and Ouray. Website: orvishotsprings.com
- Iron Mountain Hot Springs (Glenwood Springs) — 16 individual soaking pools overlooking the Colorado River. Website: ironmountainhotsprings.com
Mini-Moon Options (2–3 Days)
Not everyone can take two weeks off immediately after the wedding. A "mini-moon" gives you a few days of decompression with a longer honeymoon planned for later:
- Estes Park — Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Cozy cabins, wildlife, mountain views. 90 minutes from Denver.
- Breckenridge — Charming mountain town with excellent dining, spa options, and activities year-round.
- Pagosa Springs — Hot springs, southwestern Colorado charm, less crowded than more famous mountain towns.
- Crested Butte — "Colorado's Last Great Ski Town" — wildflowers in summer, powder in winter.
Planning the Transition
Airport Transfers
The post-wedding airport transfer sets the tone for the honeymoon. After a weekend of hosting, coordinating, and being "on" for 150+ guests, the ride to the airport should feel like the first moment of peace.
Arion handles post-wedding airport transfers with the same attention to detail as the wedding itself — luxury vehicle, on-time pickup, luggage assistance, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing the logistics are handled. If your flight leaves at 2 PM on Sunday, Arion accounts for check-in timing, security lines, and any weekend traffic patterns.
For couples honeymooning in Colorado, Arion can provide the transportation from the wedding venue to your honeymoon destination — whether that's a two-hour drive to a hot springs resort or a transfer to a private airfield.
Luggage Logistics
If you're flying out immediately after the wedding:
- Have someone (wedding planner, family member) pack your bags and transport them to the airport or hotel
- Confirm luggage storage at the airport if needed
- Leave a change of comfortable travel clothes separate from your wedding attire
International Travel Checklist
- Passport (verify it's valid for 6+ months beyond your travel dates)
- Travel insurance (book it when you book the trip)
- Currency/cards (notify your bank of international travel)
- Phone plan (international data, or a local SIM)
- Vaccination/health requirements
