Myanmar Honeymoons

Myanmar is for newlyweds who see their honeymoon as a chance for that 'adventure of a lifetime' - to take a trip somewhere that intrigues you, but which might not be a very conventional honeymoon destination! That said, this extraordinary and beautiful country is not unversed in luxury. Some of its impressive hotels and riverboats are new, and some carefully renovated from former times of glory, but they all offer plenty of gleaming romance. The beaches are soft, clean, and barely visited, and you'll find beautiful spa accommodation around Inle Lake. Gleaming temples sprout everywhere you tread, and you'll be welcomed by a friendly people who'll be delighted that you're there, especially when they find out why.

5 justifications for spending your honeymoon in Myanmar

• Bagan - hundreds of picturesque temples dot this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Best seen on a romantic hot air balloon ride
• Riverboats - relax in grand style on a wooden riverboat cruise along the Ayeyarwady or Chindwin rivers
• Genuinely friendly people - it's rare to find people this approachable and pleased to talk with visitors
• Culture - from historic heritage to recent developments, Myanmar's culture is captivating
• Inle Lake - fringed with secluded spa resorts, this peaceful region is perfect for R&R

'Myanmar can require a little flexibility from the traveller, but you can trust our expert guides to take care of everything, so don't let this stop you unless you really need everything to be very predictable.'

Mergui Archipelago

This 300 mile string of tropical islands off Myanmar's southern coast is much swooned over in the Selective Asia office - especially since one of our Experiences involves sailing there on a rather swish yacht. The voyage is hard to beat - the sunsets seem to get more spectacular every evening, while the sea laps gently against the side of your boat.
