An Exotic Honeymoon That Never Ends

The honeymoon never really needs to be over. When you visit a tropical paradise on that first trip together, you'll have memories to last a lifetime-and you'll be hooked on sitting on the beach, enjoying the warm waters, and sampling the sumptuous cuisines of Asia. You'll go back for your second honeymoon, your third, your fourth, and on your 50th wedding anniversary. The honeymoon never ends when you choose a tropical paradise to start out your lives together.

Whether you're planning a June wedding or a December one, the honeymoon resorts in places like Bali, the Maldives, or the tropical paradise island of Phuket, Thailand will accommodate with warm weather year-round.

Honeymoons to fit any budget

When you choose an Asian destination for your special honeymoon trip, you can always find something to suit your budget. You'll have at your disposal the full range of amenities and resorts, from luxurious, five-star spas with staff that will cater to your every need, to a low-budget backpacking trek through Southeast Asia, and everything in between. Affordable and comfortable hotels are easy to find in most popular Asian destinations, and if you're in the mood for roughing it, it's not too hard to find a "guest house", hostel or basic room for as little as a few dollars a night.

What to do on your honeymoon in paradise

Besides the obvious, you'll have plenty to do while you're on your trip. You can enjoy one of the magnificent spas, explore ancient temples, and sample new and delicious foods that you've never before seen. Food is after all, the heart of romance, and there are few things more exciting-and intimate-than sharing an exotic meal in a tropical country.

And of course, there's nothing like a few days at a quaint beach resort, enjoying the warm tropical water and clean, white sand. You can spend your afternoon frolicking in the Andaman Sea or on the banks of the mighty Mekong River, then stroll down the beach to a comfy seat under the shade while attendants bring you a drink served in a coconut shell. And when your muscles grow weary from all those long walks on the beach-or whatever other activities may take a toll on you-you can enjoy a therapeutic massage together to rejuvenate your mind and body so you'll be ready for more.

You'll find that Asia is a prime honeymoon destination for newlyweds the world over, and it's easy to see why. Places like Maldives, Nepal, India, and Thailand are without a doubt some of the most romantic destinations on earth, and while there, you'll find that hoteliers, restaurateurs, and tour package operators enjoy catering to your special needs with very specialized and romantic getaway trips.

Honeymoon planning

Like any trip, a honeymoon takes some advance planning. Once you've decided on your itinerary, do some research on plane fares, and decide on the best time to leave. You don't have to leave right after the wedding--you can save big money often by waiting a few days and leaving mid-week. Be sure to take a detailed look at the many honeymoon vacation packages available, and compare not only the price, but the details as well. The cheapest one may not necessarily be the best deal. And just a small detail-ladies, you may want to avoid confusion at immigration, and book your tickets under your maiden name, since that will be the name on your passport unless you've changed it already.

And while planning ahead of time is essential, don't be afraid to be spontaneous. Once you've arrived, you'll be able to encounter many spectacular wonders that weren't in the guidebook, such as the delightful little sidewalk restaurant by your hotel, the stunning wilderness just outside of town, or the elephant ride through the jungle. Deviate from your plans once in a while and prepare to be delighted.

A Few Honeymoon Suggestions

There are hundreds of prime destinations that you'll enjoy as newlyweds, and you may even want to incorporate more than one into your itinerary. Here's five of Asia.com's favorite honeymoon destinations just to get you started:

Bali, Indonesia.
This scenic destination is without a doubt one of the most prized destinations for honeymooners. The majestic, natural beauty of Bali has drawn people the world over since the days of old. You'll find plenty of adventure on your trip to Bali,including trekking through the jungle and enjoying a look under the water with scuba gear. You can rent a room, a suite, or an entire villa, enjoy the pristine beach, and the company of the friendly Balinese people for an exciting and relaxing trip that you'll want to repeat time and time again.

Maldives.
If you're looking for tropical paradise, then this is it. The quintessential romantic getaway, Maldives features coral reefs, sand and sea amidst a tropical setting, excellent opportunities for scuba diving or snorkeling, and long walks on the beach. The colorful sea life underwater is simply amazing, and the resorts and spas will deliver an experience to remember.

Phuket, Thailand.
The largest of several islands off the coast of Thailand, Phuket (pronounced poo-ket') is one of the most common honeymoon hideaways in Southeast Asia, and one of the most pleasing. The beautiful and gentle sea ahs plenty to offer, but the honeymoon doesn't stop at the island itself. Go to the mainland and explore some of the most breathtaking tropical scenery in the world, and take advantage of some of the trekking opportunities. And needless to say, the Thai food is a paradise within paradise.

Macau, China.
Imagine Vegas multiplied by ten, with a twist of European and Asian culture thrown in for good measure. If you enjoy the excitement of night-life, Macau is the place to go. The casinos there are studies in extravagance, going way beyond just gaming tables, presenting an all-encompassing and complete experience with entertainment, plush hotel rooms, and of course, extravagant shopping opportunities.

Singapore.
Another popular honeymoon destination, this series of islands in Southeast Asia offers several romantic and secluded getaway spots, complete with fashionable and relaxing resort spas.
