Best Posts in Thread: What's the best beach to go on a honeymoon?

For a quiet place in Thailand I'd suggest koh Lanta. Huge beach, not crowded.

For a nice but not yet too touristy island in the Philippines try Camiguin. They have a couple decent places to stay, great diving, snorkeling and hiking if you're into that.

 

If you are leaving the Philippines than airfare becomes a consideration. I think Cebu Pacific flies into Phuket airport and heading north of the airport are some very nice quiet beaches. A few years ago I stayed at the Holiday Inn Mai Khao. It was nice, quiet and reasonably priced. There was also a Filipino band playing at the pool, so the wife went up and sang a song.

Another local place is El Nido and now you don't need a private charter to get there as there is service from Cebu or Manila with Air Swift. I stayed at Miniloc which was very romantic. Only 1 resort on the island and over water bungalows like you see in Bora Bora. They will take you to a private beach, drop you with food and pick you up, so you have the white sand beach to yourself.

Palawan has some of the most beautiful beaches and places I visit in the Philippines and free of tourists. I was in the north of Palawan, the only foreigner I meet in 2 weeks was the resort owner. Around Puerto Princesa of course, there are tourists, same in Coron, but not at all if you compare with Boracay (before they close it, lol), Panglao, Lapu Lapu IMHO. When I was younger I would without any doubt choose Boracay, watersport, jetski you name it. Today Sugar beach outside Sipalay, no roads go there, surrounded by mountains you can only go there
by boat it takes 20-30 min, only resorts nothing else. Anda east coast of Bohol, best beaches on Bohol, people start to give it attention but still not spoiled, from Anda to Guindulman 12 km of really nice beaches. Siquijor have many nice beaches, Sumilon small island between Dumaguete and Cebu, half of the island is private but you can be lucky you are the only one who visits there if not holidays or weekend. I love the sea and beaches, boating, fishing, snorkeling and sometimes Scuba diving and my freedom, I will not occupy the beach for wedding I promise

 

Krabi Thailand has some nice beaches, I stayed at a quiet Sheraton Hotel. A more remote and more beautiful beach area is close to Trang Thailand. Flights from Bangkok to both Krabi and Trang.
