When scouting for your honeymoon accommodation, it is no surprise that you want somewhere extra special to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. We often recommend boutique hotels to couples who are seeking out a memorable and extraordinary destination for their honeymoon. 

Boutique hotels are getting increasingly popular due to their distinctive style and highly personalised service. Like your marriage, it is one of a kind. Often decked in stylish design and architecture, boutique hotels are hip, trendy and luxurious. On top of their creative character, they often have special touches that exude an intimate atmosphere for a truly memorable experience. Think unique accommodation paired with luxurious amenities for your honeymoon. Oh, and not forgetting the perfect Instagram backdrop.  

If you are wondering where to find the best boutique hotels, Mr & Mrs Smith, an amazing portal, reveals to you a special collection from all over the world. Their listed hotels are truly #couplegoals & #honeymoongoals, some of which are truly out of this world (treehouses, hotels in caves, hotels above and under water, idyllic villas…).

Top 8 Boutique Hotels perfect for your Honeymoon

1. Amanjiwo, for endless luxury in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Our trip to Yogyakarta, Indonesia was extremely memorable. This destination is filled with many adventurous things to do, yet it exudes a peaceful serenity and authenticity at every corner. We booked our stay at Amanjiwo via Mr and Mrs Smith, and it was one of the most breathtaking accommodations we have stayed at. The lobby is a dramatic dome made out of beige limestone and marks a grand and unique entrance. The entire compound is surrounded by padi fields and incredibly serene views. It features lofty ceilings, massive tall walls, and sunken bathtubs which reminded me of early Roman architecture. 

Voted as one of the 100 Best Hotels in the World by The UK Sunday Times Travel Magazine in 2011, Amanjiwo’s exclusiveness is unparalleled, considering that its huge compound houses only 36 suites. It overlooks Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its sunrise, and is a must-see for anyone who visits Yogyakarta. To make your experience more wonderful, we strongly recommend taking a sunrise tour from Kaleidoscope of Java Tour. It was one of the best tours that we have taken so we can ensure that you will also have the best through the amazing tour guide, Larasati.

To sum it up, Amanjiwo is the place where you both can enjoy a posh and relaxing honeymoon, with tons of peace and space to enjoy each other’s company as newlyweds.
