If you're planning a holiday after February, the popular British travel magazine Time Out has compiled a list of the 7 most romantic islands in Asia worth considering. Each island offers a different kind of romance, depending on the preferences of couples.
1. Koh Chang, Thailand
Best suited for: Couples who enjoy challenging mountain climbing and relaxing on the beach.
Not all of Thailand's islands are just for swimming, and Koh Chang proudly stands out. Thailand's second-largest island is covered in lush, forested peaks cascading down to turquoise waters, with waterfalls, hiking trails, and beaches that truly make you feel like you're in Jurassic Park.
2. Ninh Van Bay, Vietnam
Best suited for: Couples who want to experience luxury without the crowds.
If your idea of romance is to arrive by boat and quickly forget the outside world , then Ninh Van Bay is the perfect choice. Nestled off the coast of Nha Trang, this secluded bay combines pristine beaches with majestic granite mountains, creating a setting specifically designed for honeymoons and memorable getaways. The highlight here is Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, one of the brand's first resorts and still one of its most exceptional. Accessible only by speedboat, the resort sits in a crescent-shaped bay where villas blend seamlessly with the rocks and trees.
3. Teshima, Japan
Best suited for: Couples who love art and enjoy traveling.
Teshima Museum
Located in Seto and accessible via Naoshima, Teshima has a unique rhythm of life. At the heart of the island is the Teshima Art Museum, a unique sculptural space designed by architect Ryue Nishizawa and artist Rei Naito. A thin concrete shell opens up to nature, where drops of water, light, and sound become the very essence of the artwork.
4. Bangka Island, Indonesia
Best suited for: Couples who enjoy snorkeling and short morning boat outings.
Often dubbed the jewel of the Java Sea, Bangka Island lies peacefully off the coast of North Sulawesi, far from the crowds and possessing a unique beauty. Its beaches are wonderfully secluded, and visitors mostly spend their time in the water. And of course, there are eco-resorts like the Coral Eye Resort offering a private experience. Bangka is best known for its vibrant, soft coral reefs at locations such as Sahaung, Batu Mandi, and Batu Pendeta when the currents are right.
5. Mantanani Islands, Sabah, Malaysia
Best suited for: Couples who enjoy romance away from the modern world and adventurous explorations of shipwrecks.
The Mantanani Islands are a group of three small islands located northwest of Kota Belud. Just an hour's drive from Kota Kinabalu, followed by a short speedboat ride, they feel like a secret known only to locals. Imagine crystal-clear waters lapping against endless stretches of white sand (exactly 2.5 km) with virtually no other footprints. But the real magic lies underwater. There are now over a dozen diving spots to explore, including the wrecks of Japanese ships from World War II.
6. Yakushima, Japan
Best suited for: Couples who prefer forests over beaches.
This remote island, located off the southern coast of Kyushu, offers a truly ancient feel. Here, the rain never truly stops, the moss is incredibly lush, and every hike is magical. One-fifth of Yakushima is protected as Japan's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island is covered in cedar forests, home to the legendary yakusugi trees. These ancient cedar trees are over 1,000 years old...
7. Balabac, Philippines
Best suited for: Couples who love pristine wilderness, from coral reefs to tropical rainforests.
Nestled in the southernmost part of Palawan, just north of Sabah, this remote archipelago offers a magical marine beauty that is increasingly difficult to find elsewhere. You'll witness crystal-clear lagoons, vibrant coral reefs, and coconut-shaded beaches, seemingly untouched by mass tourism.
