Your perfect honeymoon in Asia Back to homepage Honeymoons in Asia come in all shapes and sizes, and they don’t have to fit the typical romantic mould.Perhaps you already know that you want the classic experience: rose petals, candlelight, and a luxury honeymoon resort sandwiched between pristine white sands and palm-fringed jungle. If that sounds about right, a Vietnam or Thailand honeymoon will deliver. But perhaps you want something different. Perhaps, romance to you is sweating up Mount Kinabalu to look out over the world’s oldest rainforest at sunrise. Perhaps it’s soaking up history amongst the vine-strangled temples of Angkor, or kayaking through a mangrove forest listening to the call of the gibbons. Asia has all that too – and much, much more.We’ve curated some of our personal honeymoon highlights here, but this is really just the beginning. Get inspired, then get in touch we’ll design the perfect romantic retreat for you.

Thailand Fully customisable Active Southern ThailandOne for the adrenaline junkies, this itinerary is packed with adventure — against the backdrop of southern Thailand’s beaches and jungles. Vietnam Fully customisable Vietnam's LandscapesRice-terraced mountains like giant, green staircases. Jagged limestone pinnacles towering over dark, tangled jungle.

The most romantic destinations in AsiaBreathtaking places to make your honeymoon truly memorable Vietnam Hoi AnIt may be best-known for its lantern festival and World Heritage architecture but, for us, Hoi An’s true appeal lies in its charming rural outskirts and mouth-watering foodie experiences. Malaysia Perhentian IslandsNot just a desert-island idyll (though they’re that too), their exceptionally calm, clear and shallow waters make the Perhentian Islands the ideal place to snorkel or dive amongst damselfish, neon-bright anemones and stingrays. Borneo Danum ValleyDanum Valley is one of the few places in the world that has never been settled, logged, hunted or otherwise interfered with by humans. Hidden in its untouched forests, wildlife thrives – from the world’s tallest tropical tree to the highest concentration of orangutans anywhere in the world. Vietnam Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay & Bai Tu Long BayJungle-clad islands cloaked in atmospheric sea mist and 2,000 limestone pinnacles thrusting skywards: Halong Bay and siblings Lan Ha Bay & Bai Tu Long Bay are indisputably one of Asia’s great landscapes. Laos Luang PrabangLuang Prabang is Laos’s Shangri-La: sweeping golden roofs and colonial shophouses against a lush backdrop of jungle-covered mountains, and a laid-back atmosphere of peace and serenity. Cambodia Koh RongThe second largest of Cambodia’s islands, Koh Rong is a proper tropical paradise: think white sand, luminous turquoise waters, and chilled-out, palm-shaded beach bars. Borneo Gaya IslandWith coral reefs, dense mangroves, sandy beaches and thick jungle, all just fifteen minutes by speedboat from Sabah’s capital, Gaya Island is a microcosm of the Borneo wilderness and a true tropical paradise. Vietnam Ninh Van BayWith its thatched villas concealed amongst tumbling boulders, sandwiched between the jungle and the glittering sea, our visit to Ninh Van Bay felt like stumbling on a hidden paradise. Vietnam Ninh BinhNinh Binh’s landscape of jagged peaks could be taken straight from the pages of Vietnamese legend, but it’s real enough — and whether you explore by boat, bike or foot, it always delivers. Cambodia Siem ReapThe laid-back, low-rise town of Siem Reap is the gateway to one of the most spectacular man-made sights on the planet: the sprawling, root-strangled ruins of Angkor. Laos ChampasakYou’d never guess it now, but Champasak was once the seat of an independent royal kingdom that thrived for over 200 years. Today, this tiny, sleepy, riverside town is best-known as the gateway to the lush and laid-back 4,000 Islands. Borneo Kinabalu ParkRising 4,095 metres over Borneo and surrounded by rainforest, Mount Kinabalu is the tallest mountain between the Himalayas and New Guinea, and the national park that surrounds it is among the most biodiverse regions on the planet. Malaysia PenangWorld Heritage architecture, 130-million-year-old rainforest, world-class street art and a countryside peppered with spice gardens and durian groves: the island of Penang is an intoxicating medley of natural and cultural treasures. Cambodia Botum Sakor National ParkAsiatic black bears, Malayan tapirs, pileated gibbons and perhaps even the elusive Indochinese tiger: Botum Sakor National Park is a haven for Cambodia's endangered mammals. Unforgettable Asian honeymoon experiencesWhatever your tastes, you'll find something here Vietnam Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay & Bai Tu Long BayJungle-clad islands cloaked in atmospheric sea mist and 2,000 limestone pinnacles thrusting skywards: Halong Bay and siblings Lan Ha Bay & Bai Tu Long Bay are indisputably one of Asia’s great landscapes. Siem Reap • Cambodia Angkor TemplesMagnificent in both scale and artistry, half-supported and half-consumed by buttress-rooted silk-cotton trees, the temples of Angkor are among the most fantastic man-made sights on the planet. Botum Sakor National Park • Cambodia Wildlife hikes & kayaking in Botum Sakor National ParkCardamom Camp isn’t just an extraordinary glamping experience in the heart of an incredibly beautiful jungle. Vietnam Vespa street-food tourVietnam is notorious for its scooter-snarled streets, but we say — if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Bolaven Plateau • Laos Bolaven Plateau by vintage JeepOver a kilometre above sea level, the Bolaven Plateau is your chance to experience a totally different Laotian landscape – where cool temperatures, volcanic soil and plentiful rain conspire to create a wonderfully rich and fertile land perfect for growing coffee, cassava, bananas, tea and cardamom. Luang Prabang • Laos Ancient streets of Luang PrabangLuang Prabang has seen numerous cultures come and go in its 1,500 years, but what makes it so special is the way it has fused those traditions together to create something completely new. Ko Samui • Thailand Kayaking and snorkelling in Ang Thong Marine ParkEncompassing 42 jewel-like islands in the Gulf of Thailand, Ang Thong National Marine Park is a wonderland of dense jungle, hidden waterfalls and sandy beaches so brilliant they almost hurt the eyes. Khao Sok National Park • Thailand Meet gentle giants at Elephant HillsCombine luxurious, safari-style tents with a world-class, animal-friendly elephant sanctuary — all set against the backdrop of the magical Thai rainforest — and you get one of our favourite wildlife experiences in Southeast Asia.

And we’ve done lots. Kinabatangan River • Borneo Wildlife safari on the Kinabatangan RiverA riverboat safari on the Kinabatangan River just might be the best wildlife experience in the world. Frequently asked questions What special things can you do to celebrate our honeymoon? Where do we begin? We have a huge range of honeymoon ideas to recommend, and they’re not always what you’d expect! Sure, we can arrange the classics — candlelit beach dinners, sunset cruises and couples’ massages — but we can also have your marriage blessed in a traditional Lao baci ceremony, book you into a floating accommodation on Cheow Larn Lake so you wake to the early morning calls of the birds and gibbons, or arrange a cookery class so you can continue to whip up the flavours from your trip long after you're home. What if I’m planning to change my name? You must travel on your name as per your passport. So, if your honeymoon is immediately after your wedding, you'll need to travel on your pre-married name. If there's a gap between your wedding & honeymoon and you plan to renew your passport in this time, let us know before you book so that we can book everything in the correct name. What's the difference between a “honeymoon” and a “normal” itinerary? Every single trip we design is unique to the client, so in theory there could be no difference at all. In practice, however, we tend to approach designing a honeymoon in a slightly different way from a normal holiday. For instance, we usually like to build in plenty of downtime to give you space to relax and soak up the atmosphere together. Similarly, we tend to avoid including sobering experiences such as war sites. There’s a time and place for that, but it’s probably not your honeymoon!Beyond that, the differences will depend on you. Whether you choose to honeymoon in Vietnam or Borneo, we want to make it as special as possible. That means listening to you, learning what you like, and suggesting the honeymoon ideas we think will suit you best. We're not a traditional “romance” couple, but we still want our honeymoon to be special. What can you do for us? Not everybody is into rose petals and romantic flourishes! Asia does the ooey-gooey stuff well (think swan towels, chocolates and in-room champagne), but it also does a whole lot more, and we love finding unexpected ways to bring excitement to a honeymoon. Your idea of romance might be climbing to the top of Mount Kinabalu for sunrise, meeting elephants on a honeymoon in Thailand, or ziplining through the forests of Laos — and that’s fantastic. We won’t make you stare into each other’s eyes over a candlelit dinner if you don’t want to. We promise. Will my honeymoon cost a lot more than an ordinary holiday? Most people want their honeymoon to feel more special than a normal holiday, and so we usually book accommodation that’s “superior” grade or above. Beyond that, however, there’s no reason why your honeymoon should be any more expensive than an ordinary trip. We don’t add a mark-up just because it’s a honeymoon, and if you’re keen to save money, we’d be more than happy to design something romantic on a smaller budget. Which are the best honeymoon destinations in Asia? That really depends on what you want to get from your honeymoon! Vietnam honeymoons are the most popular in Asia, with their winning combination of lovely beaches, delicious food and romantic Halong Bay cruises — but we all have our personal favourites to recommend. Malaysia and Cambodia have some fantastic beach resorts hidden away on their islands, while Borneo offers secluded rainforest retreats. In Laos, Luang Prabang or chilled-out Champasak would make a beautiful, tropical backdrop for a romantic getaway. Tell us about what you love, and we’ll recommend honeymoon ideas to suit you.
