Asia’s most romantic resorts
Song Saa Private Island
What I love: This all-inclusive private island means not having to worry about adding up the bill at check-out. The resort ensures that all guests leave their worries behind having already paid and are pampered to the max during their stay.
China: Amanfayun, Hangzhou
What I love: Set in heaven on Earth and what Marco Polo once described as the greatest city in the world, this boutique Aman resort restores the spirit of an old Chinese village in Hangzhou with stone pathways, shaded courtyards and peaceful abodes, eschewing contemporary and modern luxuries.
India: The Serai Chikmagalur, Karnataka
What I love: This luxurious accommodation in relatively unexplored western India is topped only by its natural setting, where lush green coffee plantations, Indias first and arguably finest, freshen the aroma of the area.
Indonesia: Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali
What I love: If the stunning view doesnt capture your attention, then the cabanas that hang over the private terrace by the pool in each villa make for an ideal private dining destination.
Japan: Hoshinoya Kyoto
What I love: Japanese simplicity and elegance, reflected in the architecture and interiors of this ryokan (Japanese inn), marries a rich variety of colours, particularly in autumn when the leaves display everything from deep green to pale gold to bright red.
Maldives: W Retreat & Spa
What I love: Maldives has long been the romantic retreat of the rich. The W takes this tropical destination to new heights with its Whatever, whenever service holding true, cutting-edge design and stunning house reef. Click here to read our review of the W Retreat & Spa, Maldives.
Philippines: The Farm at San Benito
What I love: This resort in the Philippines has gained regional and worldwide recognition for its detox and spa, ideal for not only cleansing the body and mind of toxins, but for freeing it of any stresses as well. With yoga thrown into the mix, the resorts setting, deep amidst a thick thriving jungle, only add to the resorts appeal.
Sri Lanka: Jetwing Vil Uyana
What I love: In the shadows of a 2,000 year old rock fortress sits a man-made wonder that has perfected a balance of living between mankind and nature. The man-made wetlands are host to this unique resort that houses stilted thatched-huts above its green wetlands, with the region displaying a stunning wealth of biodiversity.
Thailand: Trisara, Phuket
What I love: Trisara translates to third garden in heaven in the ancient language of Sanskrit. With the resort perched on a slope, the view appears to reach out towards heaven, accentuated by the infinity pools disappearing seamlessly into the ocean.
Vietnam: Six Senses Ninh Van Bay, Ninh Van Bay
What I love: The rock plunge pools that accompany the villas are a treat that blend beautiful design with its surroundings without comprising on either factor, and make for the perfect dip in the pool, a deux.

Aspirational photos! Love that overhanging pool in Song Saa Cambodia, wish I was there now instead of cloudy London!
Love the mix of destinations provided here along with the resorts of course. A bit surprised that Sri Lankas Uga Escapes is not mentioned here. The properties of the hotel each possesses a unique flavour and offering and thus will prove to be a wonderful stay for newlyweds and couples.
@Faron – thanks for replying and for your kind words. I hadn’t heard of Sri Lanka’s Uga Escapes; thanks for bringing it to my attention.
W Retreat & Spa Maldives is well worth the try. Outstanding facilities that would make any couple fall in love all over again.
