<\/p>\n
Whatever the type of honeymoon you are imagining, Wendy Wu Tours can create tailormade holidays<\/a><\/strong> to your exact specifications, leaving you able to concentrate on your wedding day. So, for all of you out there who are considering honeymooning in Asia, here are the destinations that we, as the Asia experts, would recommend.<\/p>\n Borneo<\/a> is the perfect setting for honeymooners who are after a bit of everything. The Malaysian side of the island offers jungle,-mountain,-and-cave-based adventure as well as beach-based relaxation, there are also modern cities, a good infrastructure and excellent hotel options, so you can sort of \u2018rough it\u2019 in a secluded jungle lodge before styling it up in a world-class beach resort!<\/p>\n Whether you and your beloved love animals or aren’t so keen, no one can resist the island\u2019s incredible wildlife (orangutans anyone?) and you have<\/em> to take a stroll through what is considered one of the world\u2019s oldest rainforests! For the more adventurous couple or those who love culture, Borneo also has a rich and fascinating tribal heritage to explore – you can even spend a night with a tribal community in a longhouse for a truly authentic experience. For the extra active couple, why not start your married lives by challenging yourselves to climb the mighty Mount Kinabalu? Or to go scuba diving on some of the world\u2019s richest reefs?<\/p>\n Oh, and then there are the beaches\u2026! There are some amazing hotel options available for the beach part of your break \u2013 you can find yourself on the private stretch of sand of one of the many idyllic luxury resorts, some of which occupy little islands off the coast of Sabah\u2019s state capital Kota Kinabalu. We can guarantee you won\u2019t want to leave!<\/p>\n Borneo is best honeymooned between March and the end of September \u2013 July and August tend to be the busiest months.<\/p>\n Sri Lanka<\/a><\/strong> has long been a top honeymoon destination, thanks to its fringe of spectacular beaches. But there is so much more to this captivating country; things that can make your honeymoon truly unforgettable.<\/p>\n Sri Lanka, as a destination, has it all. The beaches we\u2019ve already mentioned, but there is also ancient culture, tea plantations, wildlife-packed national parks and incredible landscapes. It also happens to be one of the world\u2019s top spa destinations and has some fantastic boutique hotel options. Basically, you can have your cake and eat it too!<\/p>\n For culture lovers, the Cultural Triangle is full of historical treasures, and five of Sri Lanka\u2019s eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites<\/a>, including the ancient cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura and the breathtaking Sigiriya. For the more adventurous couple there is plenty of hiking up in the spectacular highlands, as well as white water rafting, and for animal lovers, there are loads of national parks offering safaris. Yala and Udawalawe are particularly good choices – look out for elephants and leopards. The great thing is, you can pick and choose your cultural, wildlife and sightseeing activities and intersperse them with indulgent spa and beach time.<\/p>\n Sri Lanka is a year-round destination, and can be easily combined with chill time in the Maldives.<\/p>\n Ok, this one might be fairly obvious but that\u2019s because it is simply a great honeymoon destination. You\u2019ve got your tropical islands, crystal clear waters, world-renowned resorts and secluded beaches and, compared to other destinations, pretty good value for money.<\/p>\n The joy of Thailand\u2019s islands is that they each have different personalities. You can choose to spend a few days on an island with a lively scene, pop to another to learn how to scuba dive before hopping over to a luxurious and peaceful hideaway. You\u2019ll find, though, that the spectacular glowing sunsets are common to all of them! And whilst we all know Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi, there are plenty of \u2018hidden gem\u2019 destinations that the masses have yet to discover \u2013 for those who don\u2019t like to share their beach!<\/p>\n For a couple also after a bit of culture, it\u2019s really easy to include a few days in Bangkok, Chiang Mai or Kanchanaburi to experience Thailand\u2019s exotic culture. Those seeking all out relaxation over exploration, Thailand<\/a> has so many hotel options \u2013 be they fully-staffed villas, all-inclusive resorts or spa retreats and all that\u2019s inbetween. If you see yourselves as trendsetters, then you should consider Koh Kradan, Koh Phayam or Koh Lao Liang but note, these are perhaps more for people who are looking for a Robinson Crusoe-type getaway over all out indulgence.<\/p>\n Bhutan<\/a> is a \u2018thinking outside the box\u2019 type honeymoon destination, offering newlyweds spectacular natural beauty, adventure and culture. Located in the Himalayas, bordering India and Tibet, the mountain vistas serve up countless opportunities for romance, and the luxurious hotel options mean that you can indulge in some all-out pampering too!<\/p>\n The people of Bhutan are happy \u2013 you can\u2019t really blame them when you see where they live, but it rubs off on those exploring the country. The government here measure prosperity by \u2018Gross National Happiness\u2019 rather than money, and have measures in place to protect both the environment and Bhutan\u2019s rich culture. Here, it\u2019s all about cultural experiences and savouring the beauty of the world \u2013 Bhutan is good for the soul.<\/p>\n Bhutan is definitely a destination for the more adventurous couple as exploring it involves a lot of travel. There is also plenty of hiking and white water rafting to provide that adrenaline rush. For those after a more spiritual experience, it is possible to have your marriage blessed by a high monk in a traditional ceremony\u2026and the landscapes are pretty spiritual in their own right! For culture vulture couples, Bhutan has one of the world\u2019s richest, most untouched cultures and there are lots of experiences available that highlight it.<\/p>\n Bhutan can be visited at any time of year, but it\u2019s best to avoid May to August, with the build-up and then coming of the monsoon.<\/p>\n Another unique honeymoon choice is Japan<\/a>, a nation with a magical ambiance. It\u2019s deep rooted culture and traditions make it the ideal destination for those looking to experience something completely different, and there are plenty of activities available to help your truly delve into all things Japanese.<\/p>\n As well as culture experiences, Japan is known for its impeccable hospitality. You\u2019ll find this particularly true of the high-end hotel options. You can treat yourself and go for a stay in an international five-star option or enjoy something much more traditional with a romantic ryokan stay, complete with private onsen.<\/p>\n One big advantage of Japan is its modernity and infrastructure. Travelling here is quick and easy, albeit quite expensive, but if you want once-in-a-lifetime this is certainly the place to find it. For the couple who want a bit of culture and a bit of beach, Japan can offer both. Spend time in culture hub Kyoto, explore high-tech Tokyo and then hightail it down to the tropical islands of Okinawa for some beach time.![\"Orangutan](\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/honeymoonborneo.jpg\")
