Would like recommendations for the best luxury beach resorts in Asia. Would prefer white, sandy beach, clear blue water and privacy. Something for a romantic get-away. Have enjoyed the Amanpuri in Phuket and the Amanpulo in the Philippines.
Try Aleenta in Phuket. I think it is www.aleenta.com. We stayed in one of the 3 b/room beach front villas (the very last one #5) and it was stunning. Very private and even though it was right on the beach, we hardly saw a soul. Absolutely stunning.
If you want white sandy beaches and crystal clear blue waters, my vote goes to Boracay in the Philippines. But if you want a romantic getaway, with privacy and luxury, suggest you check out Pangkor Laut http://www.pangkorlautresort.com/
Now that Australia is art of Asia, come to Aus where there are unlimited beaches tom choose from, though it is true, not many have silver sand. definitely don't bother with China.
Pangor Laut resort is located along Straits of Malacca, the water quality is bad. No clear blue water for sure. Datai or Andaman in Langkawi is a wonderful escape.
