I spent 14 days on Boracay, a very_ small island but it's the place you take your hun with you and not being alone, but they got nice beaches.

If you get to Phuket, Thailand and offer enought beers you have your own privatly guide, been living in Thailand since late 2004 (before the Tsunami)

All depends a bit what you want to do on your vacciation
