Inspiring Ideas for a Honeymoon in Asia
Begin your marriage with the trip of a lifetime – discover the relaxing lifestyle, natural beauty and culinary delights of the Asian continent on one of these Culture Trip tours.
Scratching your head for the perfect idea for a honeymoon in Asia? You’re not alone. Bali and Thailand are hard enough to choose from – and that’s before China and Sri Lanka make the decision even more difficult. No worries, Culture Trip will help you plot a perfect trip for your partner. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill vacations, though – they are the most inspiring ideas for a truly unforgettable honeymoon in Asia.
Beaches and beers in Thailand
Nothing is off-limits when it comes to honeymoon ideas in Asia – including travelling all the way to Southern Thailand just to get a heaping helping of traditional street food. Phuket’s sure to please any palate, although it’s essential to leave a little room for the beers slung at Bangla Road’s bars. Pad Thai, Som Tam and Tom Yum will surely fill your plate on this appetizing 11-day Culture Trip tour of Southern Thailand. Kick back with a belly full on pristine beaches, sunset barbecues or even from the comfort of your floating raft house, or burn some of those calories as we go swimming, kayaking and longtail boat-riding through tropical bays, islands and limestone karsts.

Foodie delights and scenic train rides in Taiwan
Looking for something new and unique for your honeymoon? Taiwan might just be Asia’s most underrated destination. Its cities are teeming with art, culture and incredible food, while the countryside flits from serene mountain lakes and tea plantations to long stretches of coastline and unique cave systems. We’ll explore the lot on this nine-day loop tour of the island, made possible by the country’s excellent (and often obscenely scenic) train networks. Gorge on street food delicacies in Taipei’s night markets, boat across Sun Moon Lake and experience the release of sky lanterns on Shifen Old Street, as you discover the many joys of this Asian hidden gem.

A bucket-list bonanza in China
Maybe you want to use your once-in-a-lifetime holiday to fulfil a lifelong ambition? Well, destinations don’t get much more bucket-list worthy than China, and this 10-day Rail Trip utilises high-speed trains to combine all of this giant country’s most famous sights.

The bustling metropolis of Shanghai, where you’ll ascend towering skyscrapers, discover culinary gems and embark on a romantic sunset river cruise past the city’s iconic skyline. Now that is a honeymoon to remember.
