What is a halal honeymoon?

A halal honeymoon is more than just a vacation. It’s an opportunity to explore the world with your significant other while staying true to your faith.

It is a time to relax and celebrate after the wedding ceremony has concluded.

As opposed to regular honeymoons, a Muslim-friendly honeymoon follows Islamic principles. This means that everything is considered, from halal food to an alcohol-free environment, access to prayer facilities and more.

In addition, Muslim couples can enjoy special activities and experiences together that are specifically tailored for halal travellers.

As a result, halal honeymoons ideally take place in environments where Muslim travellers feel safe.

1. Maldives

When most people think of a halal honeymoon, the Maldives is often one of the first destinations that comes to mind.

This beautiful archipelago comprises around 1,200 tropical islands, making it the perfect place for couples who want to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The islands are famous for their white sand beaches, coconut palms, turquoise waters, and rich marine life. In my opinion, this makes Maldives the ideal honeymoon destination.

On top of that, the Maldives is a Muslim country so experiencing a halal honeymoon there is easy.

The Maldives is home to some of the world’s most luxurious resorts, many offer complete halal certification. There are numerous Muslim-friendly resorts in the Maldives which offer a variety of villa types, including beach villas with private pools and over-water villas.

Some of the resorts in the Maldives even have a no-alcohol policy.

From swimming with dolphins and diving in crystal-clear waters to relaxing on white-sand beaches and enjoying delicious local cuisine, there is no shortage of things to do in the Maldives.

When planning a honeymoon in the Maldives, you might want to consider taking some time to explore some of its other natural wonders.

Activities to enjoy with your spouse include romantic sunset cruises, parasailing or snorkelling along the reef.

So, not just honeymoons, the Maldives is even ideal for Muslim couple’s holidays.

For adventurous couples, a Thailand halal honeymoon is for you.

Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, with Bangkok receiving over 25 million tourists in 2019.

And it’s no wonder why.

This Southeast Asian country is home to stunning beaches, lush jungles, delicious food, and friendly people.

But what you might not know is that Thailand also offers a wealth of Muslim-friendly travel options, making it the perfect destination for Muslim couples on their honeymoon. 

As a hijab-friendly honeymoon destination, you can visit the beautiful beaches of Phuket and Krabi or go on a safari in Khao Yai National Park. To experience Thailand’s history and culture, explore the ancient ruins of Ayutthaya or take a traditional cooking class in Bangkok.

Thailand is also known for some of the best food in the world, with dishes such as Pad Thai, Khao Pad Ghai or Panang.

As for hotels, you can stay in affordable, luxurious accommodations that are out of this world!

For example, Banyan Tree Phuket is an amazing halal-friendly resort in Phuket that serves halal food. For honeymooners, I would recommend the Banyan Pool Villa which features a spacious, private garden and your swimming pool.

As one of the most popular Muslim-friendly holiday destinations, Malaysia is an incredible country to visit on a honeymoon.

Couples flock to its tropical beaches and lush jungles to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime romantic getaway.

Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is a vibrant metropolis with a rich cultural heritage. It’s home to beautiful mosques, traditional markets, and delicious halal cuisine.

Although it’s worth experiencing the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur for a day or two on your Malaysia halal honeymoon, I would recommend spending the rest of your trip on the island of Langkawi.
