Southeast Asia for Couples - Designed Right
Because this trip means something - and it deserves to be done well.
Expert insight for honeymoons, milestone trips, and meaningful escapes, from someone who knows what makes it unforgettable.
Planning Southeast Asia and not quite sure where to start, or how to choose where to go and what to do?
Most couples plan Southeast Asia wrong.
I know because I’ve been there many times over the years, across Bali, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and beyond, and I’ve designed custom Southeast Asia trips specifically for couples who want it done exceptionally well.
The difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one isn’t the destination. It’s the design.
After planning countless itineraries for couples, I see the same pattern repeatedly:
Too many options.
Too much movement.
Too much trying to “see it all.”
But Southeast Asia is layered. It’s not just about picking beautiful places. It’s about knowing which combinations work. Which pacing feels restorative. Which transitions quietly overwhelm couples without them realizing why.
That’s exactly why I specialize in couples.
Because this kind of trip often means something meaningful. A honeymoon. A milestone. Long-awaited time away together.
And when a trip carries that kind of weight, “almost right” isn’t good enough.
Over the years, I’ve helped couples avoid the quiet mistakes I see constantly: overpacking itineraries, chasing Instagram hotspots that don’t align with how they actually want to feel, underestimating travel days between regions.
What they experience instead is balance. Space. A rhythm that allows them to enjoy each other - not just the destination.
This guide is a reflection of the patterns I’ve seen work beautifully again and again.
It’s not a list of everything.
It’s the smartest place to start.
