Why Should You Have Your Honeymoon on Koh Phangan...?!

Koh Phangan is the perfect place for a honeymoon for a newly married couple.

Even if it is the time of the Full Moon you needn’t worry as you can stay far far away from it and not even notice that it’s happening, although there may generally be more people around so it would be nicer to come not around this time of the month.

In recent years there has been a few new five star resorts like Anantara, Buri Rasa and Loyfa set up on the island, especially on the North where there are the most magical beaches e.g. Thong Nai Pan Noi with its soft golden sand and tranquil turquoise ocean waters.

The area is perfect to grab a canoe and paddle round to the right side, by the rocks and enjoy the tranquility of the sea.

Hang out with your loved one in the gentle waves, nothing like a good hug in the sea. You can play and dance as you’re light as a feather in water!

All of these resorts have different types of rooms, all are beautiful, fresh and clean or you can opt for something a bit more special or your own place with private swimming pool for that extra exclusive romantic trip.

There are restaurants at the high end resorts themselves, serving high quality, tasty dishes including thai but also from elsewhere in the world. Enjoy a romantic dinner on the beach or from the restaurants in cosy ambience.

Many of these resorts will cater to the specific needs of a honeymoon couple if you ask.

If you do fancy a change from your resort or hotels restaurant then there are also now many high end restaurants, perfect for a romantic setting on Koh Phangan.

Try Hing Kong Beach Road where you will find  Baobab and L’alcove amongst others. Fisherman’s in Ban Tai is also very romantic, serving the freshest seafood on the island with a perfect sunset view.

There are many quiet perfect beaches that you and your new partner can discover also, especially if you come in low season then there will be less people trying to find these.

If you really look and ask some locals or people where you are staying then they can help you find these secluded spots where you can relax.

For those more ambitious couples that want to make the most of their honeymoon then the great thing about Koh Phangan is you get the best of both worlds.

You can relax and spend quality peaceful time together in some of the world's most magical surroundings but also go and enjoy lots of activities here too.

You can go snorkelling or diving, canopy adventures, ziplining through the jungle or just go deeper into the centre and south of the island where you will find Thong Sala.

Enjoy the street food style food market which caters to all tastebuds.

Thong Sala is also great for shopping, with small unique boutiques and local craftsmanship shops selling unique leather goods to beautiful jewellry.

There is also the Saturday walking street market for you to have a browse round and immerse yourself in a bit of Koh Phangan culture.

For those couples who really want some alone time there are many bungalows and also fully equipped beautiful houses by the beach far away from the crowds, maybe even with your own private beach also.

Happy Honeymoon!
