We are shamelessly watching Emily in Paris (Season Three) and in love with the “Love is in the Air” campaign inspired by Cappadocia’s balloon skyline. So we thought this would be the perfect month to highlight top romantic hot air balloon experiences around the world…
CAPPADOCIA, Turkey
Picture perfect for a proposal, Cappadocia’s Pigeon Valley was put on the map by soaring hot air balloons over a romanic otherworldly landscape backdrop. Instagrammable boulders, hollowed out into the sheer rock formations with spectators only wishing to by flying high too.
Our Hotel Pick: Argos in Cappadocia

SOSSUVLEI, Namibia
Talking about other-wordly views, how about viewing the vast Sossuvlei Desert from above? Calmly watch the satin sands ebb and flow, spot Orxy herds darting in the unshaded hillside, before gliding to a standstill, in time for a champagne breakfast.
Our Hotel Pick: Sossuvlei Lodge
For preferred rates, get in touch.
BAGAN, Myanmar
A mystical land of temples in a tropical, misty landscape. Sounds epic? Sure is! The best way to see Bagan is at sunrise, floating high in an aerial balloon. Unique scopes, picturesque landscapes and stunning vistas in the form of ancient temples.
Our Hotel Pick: Anavila Bagan

MASAI MARA, Kenya
Without question, the Masai Mara is the ultimate safari destination. The landscape is a never-ending exciting mixture of riverine forests, sprawling savannahs, towering escarpments and rugged rivers. Against a backdrop of stunning sunrises, hot-air balloon flights in the Masai Mara give you a unique vantage point of the abundant wildlife living below, witnessing life thriving below from the safety of a fired up vessel.
Our Hotel Pick: Sala’s Camp

Angkor Wat, Cambodia is another hot air balloon ride must-do, over their most well-known historic landmark. A UNESCO World Heritage Site over 500 acres, this is the largest religious monument in the world. The temple complex dates back to the early 12th century, when it served as the Khmer Empire’s capital, and remains very well preserved today. Witnessing this from above is to be certain to take your breath away!
