Island Recommendations
Hi - I'm trying to plan a trip for me and my husband for December of this year. We're looking at going anywhere in SE Asia and particularly looking at Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines (but open to any suggestions really). We love beach destinations so I'm specifically looking for islands. Ideally we want beautiful turquoise waters, opportunities to take boat tours, and places that are less touristy. We also love beaches that are more cove like as well. We'd rather not go to the most touristy destinations but somewhere less touched and potentially more preferred by locals :) I've been having a hard time doing research for SE asia because I find more posts telling me where NOT to go rather than where to go.
For reference, some of our favorite islands/beach locations have been Miyakojima, Japan and Milos, Greece.
