Asia is a vast and beautiful continent, one which is veiled with hidden gems to entice the curious traveller. And for the adventurous honeymooning couple, Asia is full of romance and surprise. But to get the best out of your honeymoon, skip the executive suite in your favourite luxury hotel chain and opt for an opulent boutique hotel somewhere tucked away in the hidden depths of nature. Here are 3 stunning boutique honeymoon hotels which will blow your mind

This upmarket eco retreat is a little piece of heaven hidden away in one of Sri Lankas major cities, Anuradhapura.

Many of the chalets have their own private pools and dinner can be served any way you like; in the main restaurant with other guests, under the stars by your private pool, or at a table set out by the lake. In addition to the romantic dining spots, all food is organically grown in the local area and you can even request a private chef to serve up a terrace barbeque at your chalet.
