Romantic Honeymoon Destinations | My Romantic Travel | Honeymoon Guide

Thailand has a bounty of beautiful places ideal for romantic excursions, making it difficult to choose between them. Here are, however, four of the finest locales.

Koh Lipe

This beautiful island is affectionately referred to as the ‘Maldives of Thailand’, because of its lush tropical splendour. The island’s beauty is no surprise since it is situated along the border of Tarutao National Park. The surrounding waters are home to a quarter of the world’s tropical fish.

Koh Phi Phi

Not only is this one of the most spectacular landscapes Thailand has to offer, but also a national hallmark. It was famously featured in The Beach starring Leonardo Di Caprio.

Koh Samui

This is the second largest of Thailand’s islands, and one of the most tourist-oriented. There’s no shortage of romance here, since wedding venues in Koh Samui are plentiful, as well as luxury resorts such as Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort.

Koh Lanta

This is part of an archipelago that features 52 islands and offers a bounty of experiences. At the very least, there are several beaches, a selection of kaleidoscopic coral reefs, and serene seclusion far from the ‘party islands’ of Thailand. If you’re looking for a place where you and your partner can share a tranquil and exciting tropical adventure, then Koh Lanta is definitely a place worthy of consideration.

Planning the Honeymoon

Discuss the budget, duration of the honeymoon, where to go and what to do with the partner when the wedding is being planned. Go online and read up on best honeymoon destinations and if going overseas get the assistance of travel agents the likes of Aitken Spence Holidays to help plan the trip.

Best time to visit

Consider the best time to visit when selecting the dream destination. Avoid local holidays as many hotels and attractions will be crowded. If the price is a concern, travel during the least expensive times such as in the middle of the year.

Things to do

Honeymoons can be fun as there are many things to do from scuba diving, snorkelling, to golf, excursions to places of interest, indulgent spa treatments to river safaris and jungle walks, elephant treks, whale and dolphin watching and wildlife safaris.

Dining

One of the most romantic experiences honeymooners can have out here is dining under the stars. Many hotels offer special three-course meals on the beach with succulent seafood as part of the honeymoon package. The other option is a romantic early morning river cruise with a champagne breakfast.

Important things to note

As the Maldives is an Islamic country, you are not legally allowed to get married here, unless of course you’re a local. Weddings in Maldives are more of the celebration rather than the actual marriage – get hitched before you celebrate here.

The Beaches

There are hardly any places in the world that offer beaches that match up to the Maldives. The islands of the atolls that form this nation have beaches composed of powdery sands with waters that are a pristine transparent turquoise.

Over-Water Villas

The opportunity to reside in luxurious abodes situated above ocean waters is something that was pioneered in this nation. Nowadays, any given Maldives hotel would have their own unique over-water villas to choose from, with options such as Kandolhu Maldives.

Private Islands

What is more romantic than having an entire pristine tropical island to you and your significant other? In the Maldives, there are many uninhabited islands to choose from. Your resort can arrange everything from transportation to a personalised picnic basket to make your experience unforgettable.

Glowing Beaches

The bioluminescent beaches of the Maldives have become legendary. Walking side by side with your partner along a beach that is illuminated by the ambient glow of neon ocean water is definitely something out of a dreamscape.

Find the Perfect Setting

When deciding on your location first sit down with your partner and decide what kind of backdrops or weddings venues you most prefer; it can be on a secluded beach, in an enchanting forest or even indoors in a grand ballroom. Choose your destination accordingly.

Choose the Type of Ceremony

Apart from the location, you should also decide what style or type of ceremony you want to have. While you can host a typical western style celebration, many countries also give couples the option of celebrating their wedding in keeping with local customs and ceremonies.

Look for Special Packages
