Thailand has hundreds of islands. It doesn’t matter which island you choose to travel to, stunning beaches, crystal clear water, and luxury romantic hotels will be waiting for you. If your dream is a Thailand honeymoon by the sea, here are some great options:

 

Honeymoon in Koh Lanta: secluded beaches & surreal sunsets

Koh Lanta is still an unknown destination for many tourists. The island is located in the South of Thailand, by the Andaman Sea. Close to Malaysia, this little paradise is a mix of culture, beaches and preserved nature. The south part of Koh Lanta is a Natural Park, the east part is covered by mangroves and local villages. On the west side, you can find hotels, restaurants, bars and gorgeous beaches. What we love about the Koh Lanta is the relaxed vibe, and the opportunity to find empty and secluded beaches. Yes, this is true, you can have a beach only for you, and there is nothing more romantic than that!

For a perfect Thailand honeymoon in Koh Lanta you must stay at Crown Lanta Resort & Spa! The hotel is located on the top of a hill at Koh Lanta Peninsula, which gives you stunning views and privacy. The resort offers Deluxe Rooms and Villas, you can choose the best spot for you: by the pool or sea view. We stayed at the Ocean Sunset Villa and OMG!!! The view we had from our balcony was to die for, the room is huge [110 sqm] divided in one bedroom, the living area and the bathroom [our shower had an ocean view, causing endless romantic showers…hahah]. 

At Crown Lanta Resort you get everything you need and want for a Thailand honeymoon. Private beach, candlelight dinners, spa, two swimming pools and a delicious breakfast. Romance mood guaranteed during sunset session at the Reggae Bar. The stylish bamboo bar nestled at the rocky beach gives you the best spot to enjoy the golden sunset while sipping a cocktail. You can order delicious Thai dishes at the bar, or after the sunset move to the Cliff Restaurant for some seafood extravaganza.

Crown Lanta is a perfect hotel for a honeymoon or for a romantic getaway, as we did. Because we don’t need special dates to celebrate love and be surrounded by majestic nature.

Crown Lanta Resort & Spa

Location: Koh Lanta – Thailand

How to get there: you can fly to Krabi and from there take a shuttle bus to Koh Lanta Saladan pier. Or you can arrive by boat, daily ferries to Koh Lanta from Phuket, Phi Phi and Aonang. The hotel will pick you up at the pier.

Romantic Tip: ask for the honeymoon special services or romantic packages.

Honeymoon in Aonang: be amazed by the cliff views

Aonang is located at Krabi area, famous for the Railay Beach and the boat tours around the islands. We have been in Aonang twice, and enjoy it a lot. What makes Aonang a good destination for honeymoon in Thailand is the diversity. If you want to relax you can, if you want busy beachfront bars you have, and if you want to get lost in the sea spending the whole day on a boat, you can go for it. Aonang is the right choice if you are planning your honeymoon in Thailand and want beautiful beaches, water sports, breathtaking cliffs and urban feeling.

We have the perfect place for your honeymoon in Aonang. Stylish rooms, gorgeous views and the most incredible infinity pool in town… Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort is the place to be if you are on a honeymoon or on a romantic trip in Thailand. For years, the resort has been famous for the service and the rooms, but the new wing it’s outstanding. We were there on our last trip to Aonang and couldn’t believe on the view we had from our Panorama Suite, the bathtub on the balcony, the giant comfy bed and our own espresso machine. Happy Romantic Days!! 

What do you want more? OK, for a perfect Thailand honeymoon you need a special breakfast buffet with open-air tables only for Panorama suite guests? A pool with hydromassage beds and an unforgettable view of the cliffs and sea? Checked, Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort has them all!

The hotel is not a beachfront property, but with this view you don’t mind to walk few minutes to arrive on the beach. You will be hanging in one of the rocky cliffs that surround Aonang, but don’t worry you won’t need to climb stairs. From the front desk a car will take you all the way up to the new building, and you can access the whole resort by elevator.

Want something different and more exclusive for your honeymoon? Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort has a private beach club waiting for you. Relax in a very intimate atmosphere, with an amazing restaurant and cocktails. Go there for a sunset dinner and fall in love for each other one more time.  

Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort

Location: Aonang – Thailand

How to get there: you can fly to Krabi and ask the hotel to organize the pickup service at the airport. There are also daily boats from Phuket.

Romantic Tip: after a private boat trip around the islands, go the Peak Bar on the rooftop of the hotel’s new building. Best view from the city and an everyday natural spectacle.

Honeymoon in Phuket: luxury to the ultimate level

Phuket has been on the romantic radar for ages. And yes, the island keeps surprising us. Many travelers tend to say that Phuket is too touristy and it doesn’t have the paradise feeling anymore. We respectfully disagree!! You need to find the best spots in Phuket and get away from the overcrowded Patong Beach. For me, Phuket is synonymous of luxurious holidays, 5-star hotels, intimate spa treatments and food from heaven. With all these qualities, of course that Phuket is one of the best honeymoon destinations in Thailand.

For the most romantic and luxury honeymoon in Thailand stay at SALA Phuket. Located in the north of the island, it’s close to the international airport and to the least known beaches. Mai Kao beach in front of the hotel is stunning, with transparent water and relaxing vibe, you gonna spend hours there soaking under the sun. Although, for me the best feature of the resort is the Private Pool Villa. With a Sino-Portuguese architecture, the villa has a huge private swimming pool, open-air bathroom and a bathtub under the stars… Romantic, Romantic, Romantic!! 

You and your lover will be pampered with signature organic products from head to toe, daily special teas, fresh fruits and pillow menu. You will want to stay in your villa forever, and no one will judge you! It’s your Thailand honeymoon, enjoy every second of it!

The resort has a pool in front of the sea, a big garden with open-air movie sessions, an international restaurant offering a great selection of wines and a twist between Thai and Italian cuisine. Breakfast can be served on your room, or at the beach restaurant, your choice! If you feel like leaving your pool villa and discovering Phuket island, we have a special travel itinerary for you. After two trips to Phuket, we put together an ultimate guide with the best of the best on the island and the top things to do in Phuket.

SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort

Location: Phuket – Thailand

How to get there: You can fly to Phuket [best flight rates here] or reach the island by boat. Most of the islands in the Andaman sea have daily ferry services to Phuket. From the airport /pier you can get a taxi to SALA Phuket Resort, or book with them a pick-up service.

Romantic Tip: Ask the reception to organize a romantic dinner in your villa. Go to the beach to enjoy the sunset and be surprised when you come back to the room.

Honeymoon in Bangkok: chic & classy in the heart of Thailand

If you are like Rob and I, an urban couple that gets thrilled while discovering the enchantments of a big city, a honeymoon in Bangkok is for you! Known for the Buddhist temples, the serious shopping and crazy nightlife, Bangkok also has a diverse dining scene, with romantic rooftop bars, intimate restaurants and hotels to die for. Who said that a perfect Thailand Honeymoon needs to be by the beach? I will prove that Bangkok is a romantic destination too!

We choose Bangkok to be the place to celebrate our 10th anniversary together. We decided to do our second honeymoon in Thailand and Bangkok was where everything started. A big thanks to Tracie Howe, travel writer and destination wedding photographer that had this crazy [and awesome idea] to do a romantic photo shooting at Lumpini Park. We love it!!

For the ultimate honeymoon in Bangkok, we choose to stay at the chic and classy Oriental Residence Bangkok. The hotel has everything you need and want in a big and busy city. Intimate atmosphere, personalized service and rooms that you wish you could stay forever. The hotel decor is flawless, chic at the right point, you feel good to be there!

We stayed at the Grand Deluxe Suite, that’s much more than a hotel room. We had big windows facing Lumpini Park, king size bed, living and dining area, a huge bathroom with tub and closet, plus a fully furnished kitchen. When I said we could stay there forever I wasn’t joking, Oriental Bangkok Residence gives you the homey feeling with elegance, and in the heart of Bangkok. 

The breakfast is served at the Claire Café, a modern and stylish café famous for the gourmet food and the traditional afternoon tea. When you get tired of the busy Bangkok, go for some relaxing time by the pool. The egg chairs are an invitation for some romantic snuggles, and the perfect spot to contemplate Bangkok’s skyline. Love the view, love the pool, love the hotel, love to be there with Rob… That’s how a Thailand honeymoon trip should be, all about love!

Oriental Residence Bangkok

How to get there: The hotel is the heart of Bangkok, few meters from Lumpini Park, Sukhumvit Road and surrounded by embassies. To get there from the airport, you can take a taxi or take the airport link train, connect with the BTS line till Ploenchit Station.
