Best Honeymoon Destinations or Locations In Asia

Best Honeymoon Destinations or Locations In Asia


In Asia, the opportunities are endless for honeymoon destinations. Some of the countries like India or China are so large that you can barely select a tiny area to visit, options to combine culture, landscape and beaches are endless, especially in the south of Thailand but also in Malaysia, Indonesia ... Here we describe some of them so that you have more information:

Thailand - One of the most sued for honeymooners with its cultural mix, landscapes, beaches and friendly people. It is also a destination that can be as affordable as you want and that includes some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet.

Bangkok is a must stop for its international airport (although you can also directly reach Phuket eg if you just want to visit beaches). The city is well worth a visit for 2-3 days or more if you want to see around to soak up their culture well.

Northern Thailand Area - Chiang Mai, Pai, Chiang Rai ... for those who want to see jungle area, temples, tribes and practice some adventure. They usually fly from Bangkok to any of these areas.

The choice is usually mainly for climatic reasons, depending on which area is monsoon.

Gulf of Thailand - The 3 most important islands would be Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. You arrive by plane to Koh Samui which is the largest and from there you can go by boat to any of the other two places.

Koh Phangan is famous for its full moon parties and Koh Tao was formerly an island just for divers, they have now built some wonderful resorts, but still retains that small island environment, with little roads and a spectacular seabed.

Malaysia - Country less touristy than before, offers visitors interesting sites to visit. Being so close to the above beaches, climatic conditions are similar, so that depending on the time of year we have to visit the coast or another, to the point that in the monsoon season of the East, is all practically closed and difficult access.

Very remarkable are some of the cities like the capital, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca and Georgetown, all very interesting cultural visits. As for nature, the West would highlight, Langkawi Island, with beautiful beaches and luxurious resorts. Inside the Cameron Highlands with its tea plantations and jungle Tamaran Negara to see. The best beaches are on the East (avoid them between November and February), there you can find Perhentias islands such as the very famous among divers.

Vietnam - This country will delight those looking for nature and a culture very different and interesting. Generally tend to visit three areas, north, central and south, taking plane between each.

In the north, Hanoi is the capital and a city that still has a marked communism, retains the typical shops of all life, people make life on the street, eat there, gather-together and even cut their hair ... It has several lakes within the same city creating lovely walks to the shore.

From Hanoi you can go by bus to Halong Bay, beautiful bay with thousands of islands out of the sea. Highly recommended to spend the night in one of their traditional boats. From Hanoi to the northwest you can catch a train and reach Sapa tribal area where they still live a very traditional way.

In the central jewels are Hue and Hoi An The first of its medieval past relatively recent. Very interesting to do a tour of what remains of the Imperial City and the Tombs of the Emperors (nothing like any other tomb that you were able to see).

Hoi An, a small city, very comfortable to visit, very nice and mostly famous for suits and bespoke shoes. If you want to get a dress or tailored suit please order them here and in 24 hours or less you'll have in your hotel.

In the south you can visit a big city like Ho Chi Ming, see the horrors of war in the museum itself or closer to where they are Cuchi tunnels where the Vietnamese hid from the Americans. Above all Ho Chi Ming is a much more Western than Hanoi and is gateway to a tour of the famous Mekong River. Here you can see the famous floating markets and Delve for all its many branches.

Cambodia - Certainly one of the countries with the world's friendliest people. After the tragedy that happened in the 70s, everyone looks forward to a much brighter future.

Its capital Phnom Penh you can see it or not, but what you can not miss if you go to Cambodia is Siem Reap, where you can visit the temples of Angkor. You must spend at least three days to see these temples are a World Heritage Site and when you visit you will understand why. Built over more than five centuries have different architectural styles according to the time in which the area and most were hidden by the jungle until the last century.

It is very interesting to see different samples of them, especially the main Angkor Wat, Bayon temple, with the faces looking at the 4 corners or Ta Prohm where you can still see how the jungle swallowed these temples. It's worth staying an extra day and go see the Tonle with its floating villages. At night, after the visit to the temples, you can enjoy quite environment in the main streets of Siem Reap, highly adapted to tourism, and many shops and restaurants.

Bali (Indonesia) - If there is a quintessential island for honeymoon trips, this is Bali. Known as the island of a thousand temples, this island has it all concentrated, is a unique blend of culture very interesting, wonderful people, temples, beautiful nature, very luxurious tropical beaches and resorts that will delight honeymooners.

The most characteristic places to stay are: 1) Nusa Dua, where they concentrate most luxurious resorts in the South end 2) Sanur, more affordable and more near from the capital 3) Kuta, the area with more underway and environment typical surfing beach, is the area preferred by young Australians and 4) Ubud, people with high concentration of artists and very convenient for accessing the interior of the island.

If you can, give at least one week to the island to enjoy all the culture and landscapes that can offer and it is time for a relaxing day in the hotel.

India - Immense both physically and culturally, this is a country not suitable for all audiences. If you want to know a very different culture and very rich, living under more than one billion people this is the country.

In India there are thousands of places to visit, places as remote as Sikkim and Ladakh on both sides of the Himalayas, very rural areas like Anantapur, where Vicente Ferrer and now his family has established an NGO that has helped to develop much in the area, beach areas like Goa, formerly a Portuguese colony and still retains many buildings from that era. The most typical is to land anyway in one of its major cities, Mumbai and Delhi (the capital) and from there to tour the Rajastan, a very colorful and very beautiful cities. Also from Delhi you can go to visit the Tah Mahal in Agra or Varanasi, Ganges city par excellence.

If you want to explore the south, much quieter, at a different pace and culturally quite different, it is best to fly to Bangalore and move from there to the southern regions. Especially beautiful and distinct is the region of Kerala.

Nepal - This country not only will delight lovers and mountain sports, but also for those seeking a different culture and beautiful scenery. The entrance is through the capital, Kathmandu, where the international airport. After spend 2-3 days exploring the city and enjoying the lively atmosphere of the district of Thamel, the options are varied.

If you want to go mountain trekking the two most common places are the Annapurna area and the area of the base camp of Everest. For those who want to see much less accessible areas and more remote areas may require permits for restricted area as the Mustang. Other activities in Nepal are practicing Yoga, Rafting (with excursions of several days by the river) or jungle safari in southern Nepal.

China - As India is a vast country where the possibilities are endless to choose destination. It is a culturally interesting and you can see almost a month how the country is changing and developing tremendously. If you like eat you'll be in heaven as there are thousands of stores everywhere and can be eaten at any time of day.

If something stands out of China is its history and ancient culture so if you go to China you can not miss it as examples of Pekin, the Chinese wall, and zooming in to the area plane Xian to see the Terracotta Warriors. If you want examples of modern cities, do not miss Shanghai or Hong Kong, whose bay is one of the most beautiful in the world.

Japan -  Tokyo is an ultra modern city and very civilized. It is a city where you can walk through one of the main streets and not hear any noise, or cars or people, something that really comes to surprise. A countless malls and modern buildings ancient temples bind very interesting to visit.

From there you can visit Kyoto. 3-hour bullet train journey from Tokyo and it's a completely different world. City much more traditional in it have the feeling of being in a city that lives in many ways still stuck in the past.

The friendliness of the people is remarkable, and will make it easy to get where you want. Although you may not understand, will bend over backwards to try to help you. It is a country where, despite the difficulty of the language is relatively easy to move and a country so different from our culture that surely will surprise you.
