They believe that as long as you’re traveling with your special someone, any destination in the world may be romantic. That may be true, but traveling to a tranquil and secluded island paradise can undoubtedly help to lift your spirits. There are some island destinations in Asia that are just meant for romantic couple getaways – whether it’s for Valentine’s Day vacations, honeymoons, or full-fledged destination weddings – because they’re surrounded by glittering waters and blessed with magnificent scenery.
Phuket, Thailand
Phuket is one of the world’s most popular islands, with beautiful beaches, tall palm trees, and crystal-clear oceans. Couples seeking a deluxe island retreat will find a plethora of options on the island. There is no shortage of things to do or places to visit in Phuket, whether it’s spending an afternoon on a private yacht cruise or fine dining in one of the island’s numerous world-class restaurants.
Koh Samui, Thailand
Despite its smaller size and fewer beaches than the more popular Phuket, Koh Samui continues to draw a large number of people due to its laid-back culture. It also has some of Southeast Asia’s greatest luxury wellness resorts, making it an ideal island getaway for couples searching for a tranquil getaway. If you prefer complete seclusion, there are numerous lovely private luxury villas on Koh Samui to select from.
Palawan, Philippines
It’s definitely romantic to spend some alone time with your special someone at a spot regarded as the world’s most romantic resort. This picture-perfect island in the Philippines, named the most beautiful island in the world three years in a row by Travel + Leisure Magazine and a yearly mainstay in Condè Nast Traveler’s Best Islands in the World list, will make couples feel like they’ve genuinely escaped to heaven on earth.
Bohol, Philippines
Nature-loving couples seeking more than just beautiful beaches will find heaven on the lovely island of Bohol, the Philippines’ eco-tourism epicentre. While the small island of Bohol has many beaches, particularly on the southern island of Panglao, the island is most known for its natural attractions, such as the famous Chocolate Hills. Bohol has been a popular destination for destination weddings in the Philippines due to the abundance of gorgeous places and activities available on the island.
Lombok, Indonesia
Bali’s sister island is Lombok. While the island is not as well-known as its neighbour, it is equally gorgeous in many respects. Its beaches are comparable to those in Bali, and the island offers a diverse range of lodgings, restaurants, and activities. Although Lombok has fewer attractions, it also has less tourists, resulting in a more intimate atmosphere. The Gili Islands, located northwest of Lombok, are an island lover’s dream. For its private and romantic ambiance, Gili Meno, the smallest and quietest of the island triplets, is a favorite choice for honeymooners.
