Best couple vacation destinations in Asia
Best couple vacation destinations in Asia
Asia is perfect for couples who want their holiday to feel like a shared adventure rather than just a change of scenery. Few continents offer so many ways to be amazed together.
The spectrum runs from tropical islands with private villas and slow sunsets to megacities where every evening turns into a small expedition for the best bowl of noodles. Couples on a honeymoon budget will find some of the world's most indulgent resorts here, yet Asia is equally kind to pairs travelling on very little, since street food dinners and beach huts have a romance of their own. Temples, mountains and rice terraces provide the kind of moments you end up talking about for years.
The Asian destinations on our list balance the famous honeymoon islands with places that see far fewer couples, which can make them feel all the more special. Wherever you land, boredom is unlikely to be a problem.

Kyoto
Temples, geisha districts and kaiseki dining
This city was the capital of Japan for more than 1,000 years. Couples wear rented kimonos to walk through old streets in Gion and Higashiyama. The red gates of Fushimi Inari stand along a forest path. Bamboo groves in Arashiyama are quiet at dawn. Kaiseki dinners offer many small courses.

Hakone
Onsen town with Fuji views and lake cruises
This small mountain area is only about 90 minutes from Tokyo by train. Many inns have hot springs and some rooms have private outdoor baths. Boats cross Lake Ashi with views of Mount Fuji on clear days. The Open Air Museum has sculptures in a garden.

Maldives
Coral atolls, lagoons and overwater villas
Sea conditions are calmest in the dry months from December to April. Overwater villas have steps straight into a warm lagoon. Couples have private dinners on the beach or picnics on empty sandbanks. Snorkeling trips visit reefs with manta rays and turtles. Spa treatments are offered at most resorts.

Live music, Eisa dance and champuru culture
Couples often end the day at an izakaya with live sanshin music. A glass of awamori, the local rice spirit, goes with it. This island has white beaches and clear water. Churaumi Aquarium has whale sharks. Shuri Castle is a short trip from Naha. Cars are easy to rent.
