Honey moon help: Asia beach destinations
Hello,
I am looking to book my honeymoon in August and I am looking for beach destinations in Asia. I am a lifetime gold/Platinum 100 if that helps with hotels who tend to treat premium customers better. I will be paying for the hotels but I have around 100,000 points in case I need to use them if the ratio is reasonable.
Please help me out.

re koh samui would recommend the Vana belle or W
assume you would fly into either Singapore or Bangkok so many spg options in each.
there are also a couple of newly opened resorts in da nang ( not sure about weather in this part but think it should be ok)
hope this helps

August is definitely not ideal for SE Asia beach holidays. If see a hotel that looks good, but rates seem suspiciously low, then you can count on rain.
As mentioned by @fdem, Samui or Bali are your best bets. Can't really comment on which SPG options are the best though.

Can recommend to fly in to Singapore and stay for a few days. See the city. We stayed for four nights in August-September and saw plenty of it. After that we took a flight to Bali and stayed for two weeks.
Had very good weather and barely no rain at all. Lots of spg hotels to choose from as well.
