A pre-baby vaca? Yes please! If you’re looking to get away before your little one arrives, these four babymoon destinations are romantic, relaxing, and rejuvenating — and easily accessible from Philly.

Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia

Our fave staycation spot launched a babymoon package last year. Your suite — complete with a deep soaking tub — includes a pregnancy pillow from bbhugme. Make your way to the crystal-laden spa for a Mother-to-Be massage while your partner enjoys a Swedish massage. (Both are included in the package.)

For dinner, cash in on your $150 dining credit at Jean-Georges, Vernick Fish, or SkyHigh — or in your suite.

When you’re ready to visit again after baby arrives, take advantage of the hotel’s partnership with Baby Brezza. It gives you access to some of the brand’s most handy products for warming milk and formula and washing/sterilizing bottles and pump parts. Package from $1,795, Center City.

Mayflower Inn & Spa

This countryside resort — about 3.5 hours from Philly by car — offers a babymoon package in collaboration with cult-favorite maternity­ brand HATCH. Find your room stocked with a Bearaby body pillow,­ products like belly oil from HATCH’s Mama line, and a box of apparel that you and a brand stylist have curated pre-visit. Keep what you love and send back what you don’t!

Spend time at the WELL, the property’s holistic health sanctuary. The package includes one prenatal massage, but the spa offers an array of services and amenities, from facials to fitness classes, one of which is free daily. Package from $895; Washington, Connecticut.

Wentworth Mansion

This 19th-century home-turned-hotel in Charleston feels like a blast from the past (that Tiffany stained glass!) mixed with all the creature comforts parents-to-be need.

The Bundle of Joy offering grants you a two-night stay plus a couples massage at the on-site spa and dinner at the property’s restaurant, Circa 1886. In the evening, enjoy a turndown service of chocolate-covered strawberries and sparkling cider in your room. And don’t forget to pack the gifted keepsake for your little one before heading home. By the way: Getting there from PHL takes only two hours by plane. Package from $650; Charleston, South Carolina.

Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection

Hitch a four-hour direct flight from PHL to Cancún for a babymoon in paradise at Etéreo in the Riviera Maya.

The package features a three-course dinner on the beach, a private session with a local astrologer to learn more about who your little one might be based on your due date, and pregnancy-friendly bath products from Nopalera so you can nourish your skin in your room’s soaking tub.

Visit SANA, the resort’s tranquil spa. In addition to a restorative prenatal massage (included in the package), find zen with a dip in the cenote-inspired pool. Package­ from $1,300; Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
