Soneva Kiri, Thailand
This tropical hideaway is Koh Kood’s most luxurious hotel. It’s the real deal – I struggled to tear myself away at the end of my stay. You even get an extra hour of sunshine here, as this remote resort runs in its own time zone (an hour behind the rest of the country) to maximise daylight hours for guests. And the coolest part? You can dine up in the jungle canopy in a ‘Treepod’.
Experience the joy of staying here by travelling Cambodia & Thailand in style.
Koh Jum Beach Villas, Thailand
For an alternative beach stay in Thailand, my colleagues and I love this collection of villas on Koh Jum. They’re in a lovely location (an undeveloped, unspoiled island with idyllic views), and you have free rein to be as low- or up-tempo as you like: have a relaxing massage under the shade of a sala or grab a snorkel and dive right into the sea on your doorstep.
Settle in for a few sunny days here as you discover Thailand’s Hidden Hotels and Secret Adventures.
Tekanda Lodge, Sri Lanka
If you’d like to shake things up, why not head into the hills rather than base yourself on the beach? I’ve just the place in Sri Lanka: a spacious and airy eco-lodge surrounded by 10 acres of private land, where tea-clad terrain rolls into sprawling jungle and the Indian Ocean lines the horizon. Sunbathe by the pool before sipping a G&T on your verandah at sunset. It’s magic.
Enjoy staying at this hidden gem of a hotel on a personalised luxury holiday in Sri Lanka.
Birds Murmur Camp, South India
In my eyes, South India is an underrated winter sun destination. Most tourists head to Rajasthan, but there are plenty of places in the lower part of the country where you can enjoy the temperate weather and far fewer crowds. Birds Murmur Camp is in a particularly pretty spot and really lives up to its name: the birdlife here is insane.
Spend a few nights here as you soak up Calm Kerala.
