We all want our wedding to be the most memorable and romantic day of our lives.
No matter how lovely the arrangements might be, some couples are simply not happy with a typical wedding. They would rather explore alternative, more unique options.
Which Exotic Locations Work Best?
For an amazing Asian villa wedding (and honeymoon, too) we’ve chosen a few hot spots and added some tips on attractions in each location.
Bali, Indonesia
Long stretches of beach, dense forests, exotic wildlife and naturally attractive backdrops like beautiful lakes, caves and terraces all make Bali the wedding destination of your dreams. With gorgeous rice terraces and exquisite terrain, the island’s breathtaking scenery compliments the serene scene you enjoy within the walls of your own villa. Many visitors revel in the traditional dances of the Balinese, which are an inherent part of Bali culture. Each dance depicts a story of cultural and historic significance, adding to the cultural appeal and offering a special addition to any wedding ceremony.
Malaysia
A rich combination of cultures, Malaysia offers a unique twist on far eastern beauty with all the modern advantages and luxuries of the western world. The island of Langkawi, with its miles of coastline and turquoise waters is the ideal location for a destination wedding. Charter planes will take you to remote areas within and off the coast of Langkawi, where there is as much privacy as there are amenities and five-star resorts. Floating in the Andaman Sea, the island is the ideal place to hold your private villa wedding with its world class seafood and other attractions. There are plenty of things to do, from jungle hiking to snorkeling, visiting a world-class historic mosque or bird watching at a park that features 2500+ birds in over 250 exotic species. You can also visit art galleries, quaint shopping bazaars and much more.
Thailand
Thailand is known for its incredible landscape, world class cuisine, luxurious spas and romantic natural attractions like waterfalls and pristine beaches. Koh Samui, one of the most popular vacation spots in Thailand, is also a favourite wedding destination for several reasons. With a host of attractions that suit many tastes, all within reasonable distance, you can tailor a trip that will serve large groups of guests or individuals alike. Some famous hotspots include the Big Buddha temple, the Angthong National Marine Park and cruises to offshore islands.
The Maldives
In the heart of the Indian Ocean, these two idyllic locations for sun, surf and sand splendor are also known to be some of the world’s best places to wed and enjoy a honeymoon.
