If you need to get away from it all, take your luggage to one of these vacation hideaways

A Maldivian paradise island reborn. This laid-back private island retreat is known for its powdery white sand, turquoise lagoons, lush tropical greenery, and gently swaying palm trees to doze under.


INDONESIA: Bawah Reserve

Well, when we say island – we mean islands. This barefoot chic hotel is spread over a mini archipelago of six tropical islands. Just 70 people at one time have the chance to trek through the forests, relax on the beaches and take a dip in the cerulean sea. So that’s just 11.6 people per island. Definitely enough room to throw your towel down then.

CAMBODIA: Song Saa

A happy go lucky couple bought two tiny islands off the coast of Cambodia and turned them into a resort, eco marine park and foundation. This place is special from top to toe. From the thatched cottages that overlook the ocean to the nights you can go swimming in sparkling bioluminescent water. Bliss.

INDONESIA: Cempedak

This is what we imagine Robinson Crusoe’s home would look like if he called in the decorators. Set among the lush island landscape you’ll find these state-of-the-art bamboo villas. Take a dip in your villa pool that’s filled with sea water. Or take a walk along the beach. In the evening you can also climb aboard kelong (floating pontoon) for sundowners with a difference.
