An anniversary trip varies dramatically by milestone and budget. First anniversary trips often prioritize affordable romance; decade-anniversary trips often warrant a splurge. The nine picks below span the full range. Pricing is per couple for the trip length noted including flights.

The affordable romantic weekends

Napa Valley (three to four nights, $2,500 to $4,500 per couple), Charleston (three to four nights, $2,200 to $4,000 per couple), and Tulum (four to five nights, $2,500 to $4,500 per couple) are the three most-common first and second anniversary trips. All deliver romantic ambiance without the budget of international travel.

Mid-tier European anniversary

Santorini and Amalfi in shoulder season both deliver iconic European coastal romance at $3,500 to $5,500 per couple for a week. Lake Como in shoulder season is a slightly higher tier at $4,500 to $7,000 per couple. Rome plus one coastal destination makes a strong week-long anniversary itinerary.

Big-milestone anniversary splurges

Bora Bora, the Maldives, and private-island Fiji resorts deliver the significant-anniversary trip (10, 15, 20, 25-year milestones). Bora Bora: $12,000 to $20,000 per couple. Maldives: $12,000 to $30,000 per couple. Fiji private-island: $15,000 to $35,000+ per couple. All three deliver iconic honeymoon-tier experiences that work equally well for milestone anniversaries.

The best anniversary trip is often not the biggest; the trip that specifically fits what you both enjoy together carries more meaning than the headline-grabbing destination. For couples who love food, Napa; for couples who love beaches, Bora Bora; for couples who love history, Rome. Match the destination to the two of you, not to the milestone number.
