About The Babymoon Lab
Thoughtfully chosen stays for one of life's most beautiful chapters.
A little about me
Hi, I'm Lauren, the founder of The Babymoon Lab. I'm a mom of two, originally from the Netherlands, and someone who loves to travel and discover beautiful places.
The idea for The Babymoon Lab came from my own pregnancies. During both, I found myself wanting to get away with my partner. To spend quality time together, slow down, and make memories before welcoming a new little person into our family.
But I also realized that choosing a destination or hotel when you're pregnant is a completely different experience. The things you need to truly enjoy a holiday can suddenly change. Comfort becomes even more important. You might be looking for a beautiful pool where you can relax, a comfortable bed, a pregnancy-friendly spa treatment, or simply a place where you don't have to think about a thing.
It made me realize just how personal a babymoon can be, and how much more there is to finding the right hotel than simply choosing a beautiful destination. That's why I created The Babymoon Lab: to help expecting parents discover places and hotels that are not only beautiful, but also thoughtfully suited to their needs, so they can slow down, reconnect, and make the most of this special time together before life changes forever.
Why The Babymoon Lab?
Pregnancy is such a unique chapter in life. It's exciting, emotional, and full of change. And somewhere in between preparing for a new arrival and dreaming about the future, I believe there's something wonderful about taking a little time just for yourself and your partner. That's where the idea of a babymoon comes in.
But planning a trip while pregnant can look a little different. Suddenly, the details that might not have mattered before become much more important. Is the bed comfortable? Can you enjoy a relaxing spa treatment? Is there a beautiful place to unwind without having to plan every little thing?
I wanted to create a place that makes finding that perfect getaway a little easier.
A space filled with inspiring destinations, carefully selected hotels, and thoughtful travel advice, so you can spend less time researching and more time looking forward to your trip. Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful countryside retreat, a sun-soaked Mediterranean escape, or a luxurious hotel where every detail feels special, I hope you'll find a little inspiration here.
Hotels we've personally visited
Choosing the right hotel for a babymoon takes a little extra consideration. A hotel may look absolutely stunning in photos, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the right fit when you're pregnant. That's why we believe it's important to look beyond appearances and pay attention to the details that can make all the difference during your stay. From comfort and wellness facilities to practical things that help you truly relax, we look at each hotel with expecting parents in mind.
That's also why we personally visit many of the hotels featured on The Babymoon Lab. From boutique hideaways to beautiful wellness retreats and luxurious resorts, we explore each property with expecting parents in mind. And here's something important: not every beautiful hotel makes the cut. We look beyond the beautiful interiors and impressive facilities to understand what a stay would actually feel like during pregnancy.
What do we look for?
We look for many things while visiting the hotels and other places.
Comfort that really matters. From supportive mattresses and different pillow options to spacious rooms and comfortable places to relax.
Wellness and relaxation. Pregnancy-friendly spa treatments, gentle yoga, beautiful pools, and opportunities to slow down and recharge.
Thoughtful hospitality. Attentive service, a welcoming atmosphere, and those little touches that can make a stay feel extra special.
A setting worth traveling for. Whether it's a peaceful countryside location, breathtaking sea views, or a beautiful beach nearby, the surroundings are an important part of the experience.
The little details. Easy access around the property, parking nearby, delicious food, comfortable facilities, and practical considerations that can make a real difference when you're expecting.
Not every hotel offers everything on this list, and that's perfectly fine. What matters is understanding what makes each place special, who it's suited for, and what you can expect from your stay.
When we feature a hotel, we'll always make it clear whether we've personally visited it or selected it through our research.
Helping you find your perfect babymoon
I believe your babymoon should feel like something to look forward to, not another thing to organize on an already long to-do list.
That's why The Babymoon Lab brings together destination inspiration, handpicked hotels, practical travel advice, and personal insights to help you find a getaway that feels right for you.
Whether you're planning a long weekend close to home or a once-in-a-lifetime trip somewhere far away, I'm here to help you discover a place where you can relax, reconnect, and enjoy this special time together.
Because before life changes in the most wonderful way, there's something beautiful about making a little space for just the two of you.
