Romantic getaways may not be Pattaya's strongest suit as nightlife is in the vibrant city, but couples headed to the lively beach town can rest assured they'll be left anything but disappointed as there awaits a host of romantic places to make your getaway to Pattaya blissful and truly memorable.
If Pattaya is known for one thing besides its incredible nightlife, it would undoubtedly be its string of picture-postcard beaches. No matter what the trip is — a couple's getaway, family vacation or a solo expedition — without at least one single beach on the travel itinerary, your Pattaya experience would hardly be complete. Spanning a fantastic stretch of beach about 4 kilometres to the south of Pattaya city is the gorgeous Jomtien Beach — arguably the most ideal expanse of powdery white sand for couples to lose in some blissful beach basking. Lounge under swaying palms, sip on tropical cocktails and bask in the soothing sun creating wonderful memories.
Craving a bit of adventure on your romantic getaway? Embark on an adventure to trek up to the incredible Pattaya Viewpoint, where you will be rewarded with breathtaking views for all your hard work and effort, hiking up the rather rugged hill. To say the views afforded at the vantage point are breathtaking would be an understatement; turquoise blue waters, sugary white cove beach bordered by Pattaya's stunning cityscape, overlooking the lush greenery in the foreground that descends from the viewpoint — it is absolutely mind-blowing and is oozing moments of romance.
Set off the coast of mainland Thailand in Pattaya, Coral Island — or Koh Larn, as it is known locally — is as opulent and idyllic as it gets. Pristine sandy beaches, incredible seafood restaurants and delightful seaside vibes in the air — it is the perfect tropical island getaway. Hop on a boat and sail your way across the turquoise waters, where a dreamy island awaits to grant one of the most romantic experiences you could savour in charming Pattaya.
Covering a whopping 500 acres, Nong Nooch Tropical Garden is one sprawling botanical garden visited in droves by locals and tourists alike. If wallowing in love where everything is beautiful and tranquil is what's on your mind, the serenity of this scenic nature park guarantees to offer all the peace, quiet and idyll you would desire.
For those vacationing in Pattaya, things to do may be plentiful, but a trip to the fascinating indoor aquarium of Underwater World Pattaya is unmissable. Get a load of Thailand's wonderful marine life and stroll the spellbinding 100-metre underwater tunnel and retreat to one of the finest hotels or resorts in the city the likes of Avani Pattaya Resort.
