While Asia might not be the first place you think about when you consider your honeymoon, there are plenty of locales that offer everything you could possibly want for a romantic rendezvous with your new partner. Check out the following hot spots for inspiration and ideas for your special trip!
Thailand
Whether you prefer checking out the sights and sounds; relaxing on a picturesque beach or simply taking in the night life, Thailand has plenty of activities for you and your partner to enjoy.
The best time to travel is arguably November through January, but the rest of the year generally sees mild temperatures as well. Humidity is a given here, though, so be prepared! For a taste of the metropolitan life, definitely check out Bangkok while you’re there. If you prefer something a bit more outdoorsy, there are plenty of places to take a hike and enjoy the scenery.
Finally, you can lay out on one of several pristine beaches and enjoy the sand and sun, or take part in water sports like sailing or diving.
Tokyo, Japan
The sights and sounds of bustling Tokyo can overwhelm you and your partner if you aren’t prepared, but the variety of things to see and do make this honeymoon destination a must-consider.
Visit in March and April for the best weather, and witness the beauty of cherry blossoms blooming all around you! Expand your cultural knowledge by heading to the theater, where you can take in a thrilling Kabuki performance, or simply hop a train to Hakone (about an hour outside Tokyo) for a relaxing soak in their hot springs.
For something a bit more challenging, take a midnight hike up Mt. Fuji and watch the sun rise over the mountains once you reach the top. The experience is truly breathtaking!
Maldives
Maldives offers the best way for honeymooners to relax and simply do nothing at all if they don’t want to, and the scenic views definitely help with the “relaxation” vibe.
If you and your partner love the idea of spending plenty of alone time together, the Maldives islands are the perfect getaway spot. If you do choose to surface from your room, you can participate in scuba diving or snorkeling or take a trip beneath the sea on a large passenger submarine! Underwater life has much to offer here, and you will get to see plenty of fish, turtles and other marine life.
A safari boat ride can also get you up close and personal with dolphins and whales in their natural habitat, which is a truly unforgettable experience. Of course, you could always just lay out on the beach with your partner and do absolutely nothing at all!
While many people neglect to think about Asia as a potential hotspot for honeymooners, these featured locales definitely have something to offer everyone.
