Top Destinations - Honey Moon in Asia

Treasures of architecture and spirituality, smiles by the thousands, fragrant cuisines, modern and creative cities, bike rides in the rice fields, walks in the colonial past, refined hotels, unsuspected beaches ... I lived six years in Asia, so let me share some beautiful destinations for a honeymoon.

1

Myanmar

Pagodas and Beaches

Undoubtedly one of the most haunting places in Southeast Asia, Myanmar is increasingly revealing its secrets. From the golden roofs of Sagaing to the thousand-year-old pagodas of Pagan, of the beautiful Rangoon, floating between colonial past and youthful impulse to discover Inle Lake by canoe ... The journey invites serenity at each stage, until its final: a few days by the sea before returning to the capital. Contemplation and sweetness of life, one-to-one.

Say YES: to the beauty of sites like Pagan, classified by Unesco, to the splendor of Inle Lake and the deserted beaches of the Bay of Bengal in Ngapali.

Little luxuries: Private dinner in front of the temples of Pagan, a UNESCO listed site, private dinner on a small island in Inle Lake, massage at Ngapali.  

2

Cambodia

Angkor and encore

In Cambodia, we first dream of Angkor, a monumental set of temples drowned in the jungle. Then, the aquatic wanderings on the imposing Mekong delta and the Tonlé Sap lake, a veritable inland sea, villages on stilts and forests raised above the water. Then Phnom Penh, bubbling with colonial past and contemporary culture. Finally, end the trip with a few days of tropical rest, which you enjoy on the golden sands, facing the emerald sea. 

Say YES: to the honeymoon for chic robinsons. A cultural trip to Angkor, a Relais & Châteaux address in Siem Reap and a dream of a hotel sitting on the sand to end the trip.

Little luxuries: Breakfast facing the Angkor Wat site, just for you, a cruise on the Tonle Sap.

Hong Kong & Philippines

Yin and yang

Combine pleasures in the Philippines. Laze around in Palawan, a heavenly link between Manila and Borneo, tread the red earth, virgin forests and muted green mangroves, white sand, glide in turquoise waters. Fly to Hong Kong, a futuristic and kaleidoscopic city, reconnect with the city, kiss in front of Victoria Bay, climb to the top of Peak at the last light of day, live Central, from galleries to rooftops placed at the top of the world .  

Say YES: to a duo of stopovers that embody yin and yang, rest and frenzy, carefully selected addresses, facing the lagoon in Palawan, in the heart of the city in Hong Kong.

Little luxuries: drinks on top of the world, the discovery by canoe and in private of the underground river of Puerto Princesa.

Indonesia

Sweet Indo

There are the incense volutes of daily offerings and those of the volcanoes of Java; the smile of the Buddhas of Borobudur and those of the children. The calm green of the rice fields, the tropical shade of birds in Ubud, the idleness of a chic tropical cottage on the island of Bidadari, the toned body after a walk in the jungle, relaxed after a duo massage. Indonesia distils in these lands the ingredients of a well-inspired life ... 

Say YES: to three islands and three exceptional addresses bordered by rice paddies, the sea or teak forest, with an atmosphere at the end of the world and the sweetness of life.

Little luxuries : duo massage, cocktail in the rice fields, romantic dinner in a garden. 

5

Japan

With Love

Far from the classic honeymoon, Japan is a great romantic. Beyond the cherry blossoms and tea plantations on Mount Fuji's font, there is the sensibility of a people and the refinement of traditions. At the bend of a Kyoto alley, frozen in front of a temple, a garden, in the Zen intimacy of a ryokan and even in the puzzling bustle of Tokyo: the feeling of love is everywhere. 

Say YES: to varied accommodation, luxury and charm but also sometimes simple and traditional, like a night in a temple, a rhythm adapted to reserve moments of freedom.

Little luxuries: a dinner in the stars in Tokyo, a Zen massage and an introduction to Japanese cuisine in Kyoto. 

6

Thailand

A scent of romanticism

From Bangkok to the ancient capitals of Siam, from the rice fields and teak forests of the North to the islands of the South, Thailand keeps its promises. The parenthesis opens in Chiang Mai, land of Thai traditions distilled from Lana wooden temples to colonial alleys lined with frangipani trees. Bangkok, then, where skyscrapers and stupas look at each other. Then we fly to the secret islets of the south, where the parenthesis closes on a pristine beach, a prime setting for lazing for two, far from it all.  

 

Say YES: to a trip together, to capture the essence of Thailand and discover its most beautiful stages from north to south, spend a few nights in a VIP villa on Koh Kood to end the trip smoothly.

Little luxuries: an invitation to attend the bonzes' prayers in their temple; an introduction to the intricacies of Thai gastronomy alongside a chef, private tours of Chiang Mai by bike and Bangkok by long-tail boat; a gourmet walk and a Thai massage in Bangkok. 

7

Vietnam

Mékong love

On the Nature side: rocky peaks of Halong Bay, geometric designs of rice fields, lush orchards of the Mekong delta, beaches of the China Sea. City side: Hanoi, the intellectual - its art galleries and cafes - Hoi An and Hue, the "sleeping beauties" with colonial houses and old pagodas, Saigon or the effervescence ... And calm regained thanks to a sunbathing… Vietnam as a lovers. 

Say YES: to discover Vietnam "wide angle" from one end of the peninsula to the other, a fine selection of charming addresses.

Little luxuries: the cruise on Halong Bay in a private junk, the discovery of Hanoi with a photographer.
