Coral Island Romance Options Guide

Coral Island is finally here, and with it comes a variety of different romance options for you to get a little closer to – because let’s face it, is it really a farming life sim if it doesn’t allow us to smooch someone?

Currently the game is in early access, meaning that there’s still a few bugs kicking around and to be frank, it can be a little bit rough to play. We mentioned in our first impressions of the game that there had been instances of us being stuck in walls, or crashes that meant we lost days of progress – so, with that said, romance options aren’t going to be the first thing that’s on your mind. And if that’s the case, then more power to you.

However, some of us don’t just love romance options – we live and breathe them. That’s where this guide comes in though, as to be expected due to the nature of early access, it is a guide that will be updated as the game continues to develop.

To put it bluntly: information in this guide may change, and as such, it isn’t fully complete. It also doesn’t help that as of now, Coral Island still haven’t revealed their full romance options roster and there still seems like there is a lot to be done with cutscenes, dialogue, and other gameplay features such as marriage and dating.

All of the Coral Island romance options

Coral Island Romance Options
L-R: Noah, Yuri, Scott, and Lily
Noah

Noah likes to be consistent, so it shouldn’t surprise you that he was born, raised and settled in Coral Island. He works alongside his brother Frank in the tavern, making sure everyone is happy with their orders and that their day goes smoothly. When he isn’t doing that, he is looking after his mom, Betty.

Noah’s hobbies include taking long walks, discussing theories of the unexplainable with Alice, and watching his favourite show, Game of Cones. Oh Noah…

Yuri

Ladies and gentlemen, the doctor is in! Yuri isn’t your usual MD for many reasons, but the most significant being that she spent her 20s as a doctor who went above and beyond to to help people, no matter where or who they were. And she did it all for little to no pay.

When Yuri isn’t doing her utmost to keep everyone healthy and safe, she’s at the Beach Shack playing chess or playing pool at the tavern. She also likes tattoos, piercings and colourful hair – hence the look.

Scott

Unlike a lot of people in Coral Island, Scott is a city boy through and through. So how did he find himself renting a room from Charles and settling in Starlet Town? After a few heartbreaks in the city and not wanting to be known for it, he decided to move away and start a new life.

Scott is extremely passionate about artifacts and has dedicated his life in Starlet Town to highlighting all of the amazing things that can be found on the island by putting them in the museum. When he isn’t doing all that, he is busy enjoying ridiculously strong coffee, the rain and frequenting the tavern.

Lily

Lily has a sweater that reads ‘BONSAI HACKER’ on it, so you just know she’s going to be unironically cool. She lives with her brother and dad at home, despite having a well-paid remote job that keeps her busy.

When she isn’t working, Lily visits the lake or library and at least once a week, stays at the Abandoned Villa to help her friend Nina out. She also has a fondness for miniature bonsai.

Coral Island Romance Options
L-R: Eva, Rafael, Leah, and Kenny
Eva

There’s no person in the world that is as happy-go-lucky as Eva. She’s kind to everyone she meets and enjoys talking to anyone, no matter whether they are tourists or locals – everyone and everybody is worthy of her attention.

Eva works as a baker at Sam’s general store, and while she doesn’t have a lot of savings from her job, she dreams of exploring the world and visiting more exotic places.

Rafael

If you often find yourself falling in love with cute and quiet guys, then you’re going to absolutely adore Rafael. Reserved and usually keeps to himself, Rafael is rarely seen outside his residence on Garden Lane, but when he does make the time for you? Cherish it.

Alongside his brother Pablo, Rafael runs and resides in the local blacksmith store. He is very respectful, but doesn’t seem to have too many hobbies that he is willing to share with someone so new in his life. With that said, let’s get to knowing him!

Leah

Leah is what we’d describe as the OG bachelorette – a beautiful woman who lives with her father and stepmom and seemingly wants for nothing. That’s what living in an old, massive house with multiple floors called ‘The Mansion’ seems to imply, anyway.

A self-hired yoga instructor who works at the community center, Leah takes her ‘other job’ as an influencer very seriously and expects the player to do the same. Because she takes great pride in herself, she can come across as a little unfeeling at times, but she does have a softer side when it comes to her hobbies – which include fine arts, collecting designer clothes and accessories, and being surrounded by nature.

Kenny

Who doesn’t love a man that loves animals? Kenny is the son of Kira and Jack and grew up on Coral Island. Now he works at the local ranch on a part-time basis, looking after the animals there and making sure they are happy and well-cared for.

Outside of working on the ranch, Kenny spends his free time by the lake and playing his flute. Players can also find him at the local tavern, or at the blacksmith shop where he catches up with the Sanchez brothers, Rafael and Pablo.

Coral Island Romance
L-R: Surya, Nina, Theo, and Macy
Surya

Much like you, Surya is a newcomer to Starlet Town. Currently he is a marine biologist graduate doing a fellowship in Coral Island, working directly under Ling to help find out more about the ocean. Research is key, after all!

Thankfully Surya didn’t have to start from scratch, moving in with his uncle and aunt, Joko and Dinda. When isn’t working at the Labs with Ling on the weekdays, players can find him either at the beach or at the vineyard with his friends.

Nina

If you’re someone who likes a mystery, then you’re probably going to want to get to a little closer with Starlet Town’s off-islander, Nina.

The reason why she no longer lives on the island but still visits her vacation home has yet to be revealed, but that hasn’t stopped the rumour mill from spreading wild theories all the same. Thankfully Nina isn’t alone, and often counts on her friends Suki, Alice and Lily to have her back in times of strife. Maybe she’ll even add you to her list of confidantes, if you get closer that is…

Theo

You won’t have to fish for compliments with fisherman Theo, he’s happy to give them out with a smile – free of charge!

Currently not much is known about Theo outside of Lily being his sister, and him working alongside his father in the fishing business. Someone’s gotta get all that seafood into the general store, after all.

When he isn’t working Theo can be found at the tavern, though he doesn’t drink.

Macy

Macy is at her best when she has a camera in her hand, eager to find the next best thing to take a photo of. She sells them to a visual media company, and they must make her some good cash because now she lives full time at Coral Island’s inn. Macy hasn’t mentioned whether she’ll stay on the island long, but with the ongoing strife caused by the appearance of the Pufferfish corporation, a good story seems to only be a snapshot away.

Outside of her job, Macy can be found at the beach – mostly during night time as she has a fondness for that time of day. She also likes to play video games (a certified Gamer, if you will), and spending time with Stephen – her lobster. No we’re not joking, why would you say that?

L-R: Pablo, Alice, Luke, and Zarah
Pablo

Pablo works alongside his brother Rafael and cousin Antonio at the blacksmiths. He can always be found with a smile on his face, and he is eager to help those in need.

If Rafael is the quiet and reserved one, Pablo is the brother that brings the noise – and all the drama too! Known as a bit of casanova, Pablo can’t help but attract people to him – whether they are single or not. Even despite his heartbreaker nature, Pablo is actually a romantic at heart and longs to settle down. Maybe you’ll be the one that can convince him its time?

Alice

If you think you’re seeing double when playing Coral Island, then don’t fret – you’ve probably just seen Alice or Suki.

Alice is the co-owner of Coral Inn, which she runs alongside her twin sister, Suki. Not much is known about her personality at the moment, but it’s clear to see she cares deeply for her niece Valentina, and her sister.

Luke

Luke comes from a well-off family, with old money behind his name enough to keep him and his family’s business at the vineyard afloat. Yet even with his father and mother wanting him to continue the family’s legacy, Luke is unsure on what he wants for his future.

Despite coming from money, Luke isn’t keen on just settling down and doing nothing. So he instead runs Starlet Town’s Socket Electronics, a store that offers the player items such as blenders, TVs, and other random furniture.

Zarah

All aboard everyone, Captain Zarah is reporting for duty and this wasn’t said solely because Zarah lives in a boat just off the mainland. We pinkie promise.

An adventurer with a possible heart of gold, Zarah is almost as mysterious as Nina. Not much is known about her outside of her living on a boat, and occasionally using a metal detector to try and unearth treasures around the island. Still, everything that people do seem to know about her doesn’t go beyond skin-deep. Curious.

Coral Island Romance
L-R: Millie, Ben, Suki, and Charles
Millie

Millie is the librarian of Starlet Town, though her responsibilities goes beyond just helping people with books. She also helps the Mayor with arranging festivals, a job she takes very seriously, and even helps Scott with donations that are made to the museum. The two of them are good friends and work colleagues.

In her free time Millie hangs out in her house on Garden Lane alongside her roommate, Yuri. She loves a good book, bird watching and the taste of fabulously-made food.

Ben

If you’re sitting here and thinking ‘hey, Ben looks kind of what I expect a high, surfer dude to look like’ then you’re only partly correct. He is certainly a bit strange, but the people of Starlet Town welcome him and his bright personality all the same.

Ben lives in a caravan just inside the forest. It also works as his own little store, as you’re able to buy and sell random things from him, whether that be stuff he has scavenged on his adventurers, or items that he just doesn’t care for anymore.

Suki

Suki, the twin sister of Alice, helps her sister run Coral Island’s inn. She is very sporadic at times, but works hard to take care of both her sister and daughter, Valentina.

Not much is known about her so far outside that she takes healthy living very seriously and she puts her daughter first before anything else. She is the only romance candidate that has a child.

Charles

The prize for the character most down on their luck goes to none other than Charles, Starlet Town’s doctor. It all started in his youth when he was disowned by his parents, leaving him with nothing. Still he worked hard throughout medical school, and he finally fell in love… Only to find out before the wedding that they had been cheating on him.

With such a rocky past, Charles finds it hard to let people in and spends the majority of his time at the tavern and providing the rest of the islands with medical advice. Still, one question remains: will he ever love again?

Mark

We all love a bad boy, now don’t we? Only this time Mark isn’t much of a bad boy and more like someone who is just terrible at having conversations with humans and instead prefers to talk to the animals that can be found around the island.

Players first meet Mark when he visits them at their house to let them know the Caverns are open. He doesn’t seem to have a high opinion of the player character, or most people in general.
