Best Honeymoon Hotels in Asia
From the Maldivian-and-Bali Aman-Six-Senses-Soneva anchor to the Bhutanese-and-Sri-Lankan boutique cluster and the Thai-and-Cambodian alternatives.
From the Maldivian-and-Bali Aman-Six-Senses-Soneva anchor to the Bhutanese-and-Sri-Lankan boutique cluster and the Thai-and-Cambodian alternatives.
The Asian honeymoon hotel cluster spans the structural ocean-island anchor (Maldives, Bora Bora-equivalent Bali Nusa Dua, Phuket), the jungle-rice-paddy register (Bali Ubud, Vietnamese Sapa, Cambodian Siem Reap), the temple-and-tradition cluster (Kyoto, Luang Prabang, Bhutan), the colonial-and-grand-dame heritage cluster (Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, Peninsula Hong Kong), and the design-luxury alternative (Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore).
The Asian honeymoon hotel cluster is anchored by the structural Aman cluster (Amankora Bhutan, Aman Kyoto, Amantaka Luang Prabang, Amanjiwo Java), the Six Senses cluster (Yao Noi, Laamu, Bhutan circuit), the Soneva Maldivian cluster, the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok flagship, the Capella Hanoi Bill-Bensley boutique, the Park Hyatt Niseko-and-Tokyo cluster, and the structurally distinct independent boutique-honeymoon cluster.
Editors picked the structural Asian honeymoon hotel anchors. Choose by working register — the Maldivian overwater-villa cluster, the Bali jungle-rice-paddy alternative, the temple-and-tradition Kyoto-Luang-Prabang-Bhutan circuit, the colonial-grand-dame anchor, or the design-luxury Tokyo-Singapore alternative.
