How about some surf n' turf? In Myanmar, one of the well-known romantic destinations is the Mergui archipelago, a set of islands located in the south of Myanmar. Amazing beaches stretch from end-to-end on these islands, allowing for some valuable tanning time. Alternatively, there are many places to snorkel and scuba dive, for those water-oriented individuals who wish to witness the bounties of the underwater world for themselves.

A glorious, shining icon of Myanmarian spirituality, the Shwedagon Pagoda is a famous and uniquely opulent temple in Myanmar. Known for having been constructed using a whopping 27 metric tons of gold, the amazing sights of the temple will instil your souls with inspiration and respect, where the very air radiates with a sense of sacredness. The temple itself is a popular visiting spot for locals, and not just for matters of religion. Truly a sight amongst sights in Myanmar - and conveniently reachable from your choice of 5 star hotels in Yangon, such as the PARKROYAL Yangon.
While Myanmar may not be thought of as prime wine-country, it should nevertheless be mentioned as a definite spot to go for honeymooners! The rolling, verdant hills of the Myanmar countryside is quite conducive to vineyards, and coupled with the breathtaking sights and cool breezes of the area, one can imagine why we recommend this place! In fact - we suggest it as one of the essentials. Are you one who prefers a stroll amongst the lush grass and golden sunsets, or one who prefers staying in with a glass in your hand? It matters little, for you can do both here.
Although this suggestion may be a little out of the way - the enchanting, mystifying waters of the Dee Doke Waterfalls are arguably worth it. One may rent a motorbike in this area for some duo explorations, riding around the beautiful area before dipping under the waters of the fall, and take a selfie or three with your wife or husband after you're done - a perfect culmination to a honeymoon full of excitement.
