Short-Haul Babymoon Destinations From Hong Kong

THE MALDIVES: One & Only Reethi Rah

The Maldives is pure heaven and an easy, direct flight from Hong Kong, and just an hour away from Male Airport lies the One&Only Reethi Rah. For moms-to-be we suggest you treat yourself to the luxury yacht transfer to ensure your bump doesn’t get moody – and of course arrive in style! Once on the island, the hotel offers a complimentary 30-minute photoshoot, the perfect way to commemorate your holiday.

BANGKOK: The Siam

If you like to be active, opt for a city break in bustling Bangkok. Make the most of your holiday by stocking up on adorable and affordable baby garments and decorations to adorn your baby’s future room. Plus there are plenty of world-renowned hospitals should the bump need any care. Once you are done for the day, drop your shopping bags at The Siam, a stunning Art Deco inspired urban resort that truly brings out the wows. It’s the only hotel with pool villas in the capital, so you know it’s going to be a special stay.

BALI: COMO Shambhala

If it is utter peace and quiet that you’re after, Ubud’s lush vegetation is just what the doctor ordered. The COMO Shambhala Estate is a wonderful retreat surrounded by nature, which will have you relaxed in no time. Be active and take a walk through the rice fields, or indulge in a pre-pregnancy massage for the ultimate pamper. Make the most of the onsite dietitian to ensure your body is getting the most nutritious and organic food it needs – and it’s delicious too!

SRI LANKA: Reef Villa and Spa

For an intimate escape from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, head straight to Reef Villa & Spa, a lovely colonial retreat. The hotel is just under an hour away from Colombo, so very easy to get to. The best part is that daddys-to-be are also taken care off when you book the honeymoon package: energizing massage for him, luxury facials for her, a baby care gift set and a private yoga session for two. With the stretch of golden sand with swimmable beach (not always a given in Sri Lanka) and Galle Fort just 35 minutes away, there is much to do and see from here.

In Chiang Mai, you can recharge your batteries with delicious food, strolls through backstreets to uncover typical Thai atmosphere, and of course explore the numerous monasteries and temples that pepper the area. If you need to completely unwind, immerse yourself in the Four Seasons Chiang Mai’s lush tropics. Watch as farmers cultivate the land within the property, head to the spa for the ultimate rejuvenation, and relax by the adults-only pool that overlooks the rice fields, a stunning view.

The Hue – Hoi An – Da Nang trifecta is perfect for couples looking for a cultural and beach holiday rolled into one. The beaches of Da Nang are still very much off-the-radar so you won’t be battling with other tourists for space, whilst Hue and Hoi An offer much to uncover. The best place to relax by the beach is Fusion Maia – Asia’s first all spa inclusive resort. That’s right, you can have as many massages as you want during your stay!
