18 Nov

Honeymoons in Thailand offer couples a captivating blend of romance, adventure, and relaxation amidst stunning landscapes. From the pristine beaches of Phuket and Krabi to the vibrant culture of Chiang Mai, newlyweds can indulge in luxurious resorts that provide exceptional service and breathtaking views. Exploring lush jungles, visiting ornate temples, and enjoying local cuisine further enrich the experience, while options for privacy and seclusion can be found on idyllic islands like Koh Samui and Koh Phi Phi. Whether seeking tranquillity or excitement, Thailand’s diverse offerings create an unforgettable backdrop for a perfect romantic getaway.

Below we’ve pulled together some of the very best hotels in Thailand for a honeymoon, to help you on your hunt for the perfect spot.

1. Soneva Kiri, Koh Kood

Located on a secluded bay on the North-West coast of Koh Kood island, Soneva Kiri is an all encompassing, laidback luxury experience. Consisting of 32 pool villas, they are positioned on their own private beach with water sport facilities, a spa, tennis and volleyball court, fitness rooms, an outdoor cinema and a beautiful observatory. In addition to the large infinity pool, each suite has its own private pool, alongside personal concierges which they call Barefoot Butlers. Enjoy a romantic dinner at Tuk’s, their lantern lit Thai restaurant on stilts that’s reached via speedboat, or their relaxed bistro, The View, where you should make the most of their Thursday Slowlife Dinner, which is made purely from local fish and vegetables from their organic garden. Add to this casual buffet food at their Dining Room, chilled pizza, sushi and salads at The Beach, you’d think that would be more than enough. But as to be expected from Soneva hotels, they’ve taken things up a notch and you can also enjoy Treepod Dining, within bamboo pods located 6 metres in the air above the rainforest, where acrobatic waiters serve you on zipline! Add to that their three parlours of ice cream, chocolate and cheese, it’s fair to say this honeymoon spot has got food absolutely nailed.
