A November wedding anniversary can be the best of times or present challenges. If you tied the knot early in November, you’re fortunate: It’s a slower season in many romantic destinations, giving you ample choice for accommodations. However, for those whose anniversary falls late in the month close to Thanksgiving, expect crowded roads and airports, along with higher prices.
To enjoy a fantastic anniversary getaway, plan your trip either two weeks before Thanksgiving or two weeks after. If your special day lands between those dates, consider celebrating at a romantic restaurant prior to your travels.
The “Safe” Caribbean
In November, the risk of hurricanes diminishes significantly (the season officially ends on November 30). If you desire a beach destination with minimal risks, the southern Caribbean would be ideal. The following islands typically remain safe:
- Aruba
- Barbados
- Curacao
- Turks & Caicos
Head for the Hills
At the onset of November, numerous ski resorts are already open for the season. Even if skiing isn’t appealing, the après-ski environment offers a wonderfully romantic atmosphere.
Select a ski locale that provides a variety of activities — from dog sledding to ice skating and horse-drawn carriage rides through the snowy landscape — which can contribute to an exhilarating anniversary experience.
Go “Inn” Style
Staying indoors can be equally delightful in November. Why not cozy up in a romantic inn? Establishments affiliated with the Relais & Chateaux group maintain exceptional hospitality standards, with each property being unique and charming. Although they come at a premium, guests benefit from top-tier service and beautiful decor, alongside meals that are remarkable in both flavor and presentation. This is why many choose a Relais & Chateaux venue for honeymoons, birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions.
