Myanmar
Honeymoons

Myanmar might not be the obvious choice when planning a romantic escape, but there’s something undeniably captivating about this complex country. There’s age-old traditions, gilded pagodas and the ability to artfully marry together relaxation and fun. We think Myanmar honeymoons could be just the ticket for a loved-up pair and the perfect opportunity to celebrate your nuptials. Cosy up to your loved one and enjoy everything from secluded beaches and private pools to intimate dinners and that southeast Asian warmth. After the wedding planning whirlwind there's no better place to completely relax and unwind. Sip your way through the Red Mountain Winery, set off on an island cruise around the Mergui Archipelago at sunset and head to Shwedagon Pagoda for blessings. For lovebirds after a honeymoon unlike any other, you’ll likely fall for more than just each other.

After tying the knot, many newlywed couples find themselves in need of some serious relaxation and fun and somewhere that marries the two effortlessly is Myanmar. While this country is still, at its heart, a rural nation rich with traditions and values, it is entering a new era and enticing many a keen traveller with its simple pleasures and promise of secluded spots.

Nowadays Myanmar honeymoons can provide couples with a wealth of romantic experiences. From a refreshing dip in the glassy green waters beneath the Dee Doke waterfall, to walking hand in hand through the hustle and heat of the Kalaw region (complete with pitstops on route for some well-earned hearty home-cooked dishes), there is so much to fall in love with here.

You could even explore the enchanting Inle Lake, where you can try your hand at lotus-weaving and snap picture-perfect shots of the mirror-like waters, or experience the bliss and serenity of the Ananda Temple, a soul soothing and meaningful ancient landmark. And don’t miss a trip to Yangon, the country’s largest city, where you can explore the popular sites and hidden gems on guided walking tours and enjoy a steady supply of cocktails. As night falls, meander through the twisting streets of the Anawrahta Road Night Market on the hunt for your sizzling street food fix. By the time you’re due to head home, we’re willing to bet that you’ll be feeling suitable honeymoon’d!
