Bangkok, Koh Phangan & Koh Samui

It’s in a great location next to the river in one of Bangkok’s oldest neighbourhoods, which has recently had an arty facelift. You’ll be thrilled by the excellent dining options, from exquisite regional Thai cuisine to luscious cakes and trend-setting ice creams. You can shake off the city in the rooftop hydrotherapy pool and the serene holistic spa whose treatment list is beyond fabulous. There are cleverly designed rooms for couples and families, with options to interconnect for larger gatherings.

There are just 64 secluded pool suites and villas in verdant gardens leading down to one of Koh Phangan’s best beaches. For a stylish dinner, you can feast on sushi and grilled lobster at the first and only teppanyaki restaurant on Koh Phangan. There are some delightful ways to round off the day, from a sunset cruise for two to twilight film screenings on the beach. If you can tear yourself away from the beachside infinity pool, the treatment rooms at the tranquil spa have sea views too  

It’s on a rare quiet spot on Chaweng Beach, so you get peace when you want it and bustle when you want a change of pace. For award-winning Thai and European food with a view, you can dine in one of eight private salas tucked away in the treetops. The chic rooms and villas are generously proportioned, and many of them have a private or semi-private outdoor pool. As well as the superb Anantara Spa, the excellent wellness offering includes yoga sessions, Pilates classes and T'ai Chi
