Any seasoned Far East travellers there?

[Aprillove]

I will be in Beijing next June and would ilke to take a beach holiday somewhere I can reach from there (not in China). I am a single female traveller, not a bit daunted by being on my own, and would like somewhere I can unwind, get a bit of a tan and maybe some relaxing spa treatments. I don't want to go OTT budgetwise, but as this will be my last visit to China I would like to make the most of it.
Can anyone recommend anywhere - I have heard Cebu in the Phillipines is good, but have no idea how to get there. Would I be better to try from Hong Kong?
Any other ideas?
Many thanks - airline/tour websites would be wonderful.

Hong Kong has many beaches, some on the main Hong Kong island, others on the many other islands that help to make up Hong Kong. I spent 10 days in Hong Kong this summer and found it a fascinating place, very clean and very safe. I stayed in an apartment in Hong Kong, but there were plenty of apartments available by beaches.

Thanks, Spudqueen
It was good of you to answer so quickly, but I have spent quite a lot of time in Guangzhou and HK too - I was looking for somewhere further afield that would crown the ten years I have spent going backwards and forwards to China for my work. As I will be based in Beijing, I would like to be able to go from there.

Hi,

Thailands only around the corner from you there, perfect beach holiday and cheap.

If you need any help, post back and I'll answer the question, I used to run a beach resort over there for nearly two years.

Hi Pathihan
Thanks for your offer. I have never been to Thailand , mainly because most people I know have been and I would like to go somewhere where I won't be surrounded by loud tourists - I would love to spend 5-7 days just lying around, reading, being pampered, eating lots of fresh fruit , veg and fish, maybe lose some weight, massage, facials - you get the drift!
It would be perfect if I could find a reputable travel agent in Beijing, but not too bothered if I have to go to/via HK.
Many thanks
