18 Best Honeymoon Resorts and Hotels in Colorado

There’s a Colorado honeymoon for every couple. All four corners of the state ooze romance and each of the four seasons offers exhilarating adventures for a party of two whether that’s skiing, spa moments, saddling upon horses, or smooth sailing on hyaline lakes. With fourteen commercial airports, it’s a breeze to get to and there are a record-breaking 58 fourteeners (mountains at or above 14,000 feet) to discover together.  

To help you plan your perfect honeymoon in the Centennial State, we turned to lifelong Colorado resident and Colorado Dude & Guest Ranch Association Executive Director Courtney Frazier. Ahead, Frazier explains the best seasons to visit, average prices, and the magic of honeymooning here.

Colorado Honeymoon Cost

“Colorado truly has something for every budget and experience,” says Frazier. “You can book a night at one of our 13,000 campsites for $14 per night but also find nightly stays costing over $800 at one of our 5-star hotels—and everything in between." For example, an all-inclusive stay at one of the 25 Colorado Dude Ranches costs $400 per person per night during peak season.

Best Seasons to Visit Colorado

According to Frazier, you can't go wrong with any season in Colorado but fall is particularly great for honeymoon travel. “The weather is still warm, sunny, and temperate, the leaves are changing, and you avoid the busy periods in summer and winter.”

Spring is off-peak season and Frazier says this is when you can get wonderful personalized service and also “roll the dice” weather. There might be temperate 60-degree days with flowers blooming and streams filling with mountain runoff, or two feet of snow that creates a fun winter-like experience. “There is something about skiing in just a light jacket or (gasp) even just a tee-shirt on those warm spring days that is SO Colorado,” she notes.

Colorado’s mountains and plains are popular in summer as many travelers flock there to beat the heat with warm weather that isn’t stifling or too humid and winter speaks for itself. “Colorado is ski country but there are many other fun winter adventures to be had like dog sledding, cross country skiing, museums, and casinos just to name a few.” Frazier’s happy place is the Tall Grass spa just outside of Evergreen. “They are open all year but sitting in their great room with the fire roaring in winter is truly wonderful,” she adds.
