There are some amazing beach destinations for couples in Asia and the South Pacific. Thailand is especially known for its beach destinations. The areas around Phuket are amazingly beautiful. They have terrific resorts in those areas. Farther down, farther south in the South Pacific, there are places like Bora Bora, which, as the world is discovering, is an amazingly beautiful place. Bora Bora has recently opened several new luxury hotels so it can be very pricey, but for couples, there may be nothing like waking up in an over water bungalow, staring out at the 43 shades of blue in the South Pacific. There are other places that may not be quite as well known as Bora Bora and may be slightly less expensive. The Cook Islands have a culture that is uniquely their own and can be a terrific destination for couples. Tahiti obviously is fairly well known and is a place that many people find very satisfying as a vacation destination.
