Earning serious cache as a luxury honeymoon
destination when Hong Kong stars Tony Leung and
Carina Lau chose this reclusive kingdom as their
honeymoon destination, Bhutan, besides being all the
rage amongst those keen on luxury, exotic holidays,
is increasingly being chosen as a honeymoon spot.
The romance and lure of Bhutan- a romantic scenery
of intricate dzongs that whisper history,
culture and untold tales of intrigue, a population
that still wears the traditional gho almost
anywhere in Bhutan but are largely English-speaking
in the larger cities- adds to the feeling of being
in a movie set. No doubt, the landscape and backdrop
are breathtaking, the luxury hotels well-adapted to
its natural surroundings and the dzongs make for
countless days of exploration but it's the feeling
of having 'stumbled' upon a relatively undiscovered
place, or an exclusive club of the savvy and well-travelled,
that distinguished Bhutan as a luxury destination.
Urbane Nomads is able to organize for traditional
weddings in Bhutan- elaborate rituals in remote
centuries-old palaces with monks and nearby
villagers on attendance to more accessible places
(with rituals no less elaborate) that could be
supplemented by an archery competition.
An initiation itinerary for first timers to

Combining Marrakech with
the romance and luxury
of camping in the

exoticism with isolation
whilst based in the most
seductive hotels in a
country known for its
high standards of
hospitality.
A rustic luxury safari-
combining nights in star
beds in Northern Kenya,
a retro-chic camp in the
Masai Mara and nights
under the stars on a
luxury dhow in Lamu.
