Asia is one the more
visually stunning areas in the world. If you are looking for
romance, here are some top-notch destinations.
Asia is hot and sticky, much like romance. More importantly, it
tends to be fairly cheap due to a currency disaster in the late
1990s. Although luxury resorts can be very pricey, you can find
a romantic location for just about any budget.
If cost is of no concern, the Banyan Tree Resorts should
definitely be on the top of your list. With resorts in Thailand,
Indonesia, China, Japan, Maldives and Seychelles, the Banyan
Tree resorts are the lap of romantic luxury. Each resort
is a bit different and prices vary wildly depending on location
since the currency in Japan is much stronger than the Thai
currency.
Cheju Island off of Korea is a little known, but spectacular
romantic destination. Cheju is very similar in appearance to
the Hawaiian Islands, complete with a dead volcano. Spring is by
far the best time to visit Cheju, but keep in mind Korean
honeymooners are in plentiful supply. As to budget, you can get
rooms at luxury resorts or camp on the Island. Every level of
comfort between these extremes is also available.
China is a huge country with a lot to see. If you’re looking for
a rustic, romantic travel destination in China, the place
to go is Suzhou. Imagine Venice, Italy being plopped down in
China and you have Suzhou. The city is rife with canals and
roughly fifty percent of it is underwater. Once considered the
capital of the Silk Road out of China, the city is over 25,000
years old. Perched on the edge of a lake, it is simply
spectacular and undoubtedly one of the most romantic areas in
Asia.
If all else fails, you can never go wrong with Bora Bora in
Tahiti. Comprised of volcanic mounts much like Hawaii, Bora Bora
is known as the romantic island of Tahiti. The name is
appropriate. The island is all about pristine white beaches,
crystal clear water and friendly people. One can hike up the old
volcano to get an incredible view in the morning and head out to
the reefs for a little diving in the afternoon. Lodging can be a
bit pricey on Bora Bora, but it is definitely worth it.
You can’t go wrong with any of the above destinations if your
looking for romance in asia.
