This isn’t just about luxury; it’s about having a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a romantic escape where every detail is infused with magic and every moment becomes a cherished memory.

Here are some of Asia’s most breathtaking resorts for weddings, each a perfect canvas for your unique love story, blending romance, opulence, and unforgettable experiences.

Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, Thailand

Set amidst Chiang Mai’s lush rice paddies and lotus ponds, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai offers an idyllic setting for destination weddings and romantic escapes. Whether you’re exchanging vows in the tranquil countryside or beginning your honeymoon here, every moment feels deeply personal and serene.

Start your day with breakfast in the rice fields and wind down with a candlelit dinner at the Rice Barn, a traditional Lanna structure overlooking a peaceful pond. Couples can share in wellness journeys, from mindful yoga and cycling tours to hands-on Thai experiences. The Wara Cheewa Spa’s signature Rose of the North – Kularb Lanna Ritual, with its rose-infused scrub and massage followed by nourishing shea butter melting into the skin, sets the romantic tone. Couples can also enjoy playful and artistic moments together at the ‘Romancing in Sala’, pottery workshop or cooking class at Rim Tai Kitchen. Afternoon Tea at the elegant Residence adds a refined pause, while cultural immersion at Chaan Baan, from saa paper making to natural dyeing, adds depth to your time together.

Hotel Gajoen Tokyo, Japan

If you’re dreaming of a wedding straight out of a romantic Japanese fairytale, this one’s for you. Once a traditional fine-dining restaurant, Hotel Gajoen Tokyo has grown into a one-of-a-kind venue where timeless charm meets modern luxury. Picture saying your vows in a grand ballroom filled with history, or dining in private rooms decorated with ceiling art and delicate murals by legendary Japanese artists.

For honeymooners, there’s the cosy Tofu-tei, a thatched-roof restaurant with beautiful private dining rooms that feel more like mini art galleries. You can also explore the famous “Hyakudan Kaidan – The Hundred Stairs,” a 1930s wooden hallway lined with art, connecting seven beautifully preserved rooms. Add a peaceful garden with koi ponds and waterfalls, and you’ve got the perfect mix of culture, romance, and relaxation, all in the heart of Tokyo.

Four Seasons Resort, Langkawi

Wrapped in a lush UNESCO Geopark rainforest with dramatic limestone cliffs and pristine beachfront, Four Seasons Resort Langkawi provides the perfect seafront sanctuary in a surreal setting, making it the ultimate choice for couples to celebrate their love story on the island. With a pristine mile-long beach, the ocean is a cherished guest at every wedding. White sands sweep down to kiss the azure waves, providing a picturesque backdrop for romance as you exchange vows on Langkawi’s sun-kissed shores.

Anantara Layan Phuket Resort

Nestled on the serene shores of Layan Beach, Anantara Layan Phuket Resort is where your tropical wedding dreams truly come alive. Picture exchanging your vows with the soft sand beneath your feet, the Andaman Sea sparkling in the background, or perhaps a traditional Thai blessing amidst lush, fragrant gardens. This exquisite sanctuary offers a range of breathtaking settings, from intimate ceremonies on the pristine Layan Beach, perfect for up to 150 guests, to a romantic renewal of vows in their cliffside chapel, offering swoon-worthy ocean views.

Beyond “tying the knot”, you can retreat to one of their luxurious pool villas or expansive residences, many boasting private infinity pools that seem to spill into the sea. For an unforgettable experience, indulge in rejuvenating couples’ treatments at the award-winning Anantara Spa, or embark on a culinary adventure with a Thai cooking class. For a celestial experience, Dara Cuisine Phuket at the resort serves modern Thai cuisine beside a lagoon. Afterwards, head to the Sky Observatory for stargazing sessions paired with constellation-inspired craft cocktails, blending Thai heritage with cosmic delight.

Pangkor Laut Resort, Malaysia

Escape to your private island paradise at Pangkor Laut Resort, a place where time slows down and romance takes centre stage. This isn’t just a resort; it’s an entire island off the West Coast of Malaysia in the Straits of Malacca, dedicated to your tranquillity, surrounded by 300 acres of ancient rainforest and pristine emerald waters. Imagine your ‘pheras’ in a secluded garden, or perhaps a magical ‘vermala’ ceremony under a canopy of stars.

Couples can unwind at the award-winning Spa Village, which blends Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Thai healing traditions, or take in the sunset on a private cruise. For adventurous duos, there’s plenty to dive into, like guided jungle treks, snorkelling, and island-hopping together. When it’s time to unwind, you can dine on fresh seafood with ocean views at Fisherman’s Cove or grab a laid-back bite by the beach at Chapman’s Bar.
